Patent ID: 7760819

Claim:
A digital wireless receiver to which a digital modulated electrical signal is applied as an input, comprising: a radio frequency band selection filter for selecting and supplying, as an output, a frequency band, that is used in a communication, from said digital modulated electrical signal that has been applied as the input; an amplifier for receiving the digital modulated electrical signal supplied from said radio frequency band selection filter and amplifying the digital modulated electrical signal; a sample-hold circuit for receiving the amplified digital modulated electrical signal supplied from said amplifier and converting the amplified digital modulated electrical signal to a discrete time signal at a sampling frequency at least twice the frequency band of the amplified digital modulated electrical signal; a digital filter for selecting and supplying only the frequency band used in the communication, from among discrete time signals supplied from said sample-hold circuit and outputting a digital filtered signal; a demodulation circuit which receives the digital filtered signal supplied from said digital filter and is activated only for a time interval equivalent to a one-wavelength portion of the digital filtered signal to demodulate the digital filtered signal and output a digital demodulated signal; and a shut-down circuit for receiving the digital demodulated signal that has been demodulated by and supplied from said demodulation circuit to determine a demodulation error rate, for checking whether the demodulation error rate satisfies a demodulation error rate stipulated by a communication standard, wherein, when the demodulation error rate does not satisfy the stipulated demodulation error rate, the shut-down circuit successively extends a demodulation time of said demodulation circuit from the one-wavelength portion of the modulated electrical signal until the stipulated demodulation error rate of the communication standard is satisfied, and for activating and shutting down distributing sampling clocks to said sample-hold circuit, said digital filter, said amplifier, and said radio frequency band selection filter at the same time as to said demodulation circuit.
