Abstract:
A transmission apparatus includes a first circuit, a second circuit, and a connector that couples the first circuit and the second circuit to each other, the first circuit includes a signal generation circuit that outputs an alternate current signal of a predetermined power at a frequency from a carrier frequency to three times the carrier frequency, and one of the first circuit and the second circuit includes a determination circuit that evaluates a fit state at the connector by determining whether the first circuit and the second circuit are fitted to each other via the connector based on the predetermined power and a power of the alternate current signal received by the determination circuit via the connector.

Claim (Index 13):
A connection monitoring method in a transmission apparatus comprising a first circuit, a second circuit, and a connector that couples the first circuit and the second circuit to each other, the method comprising:\n outputting, by a signal generation circuit in the first circuit, an alternate current signal of a predetermined power at a frequency from a carrier frequency to three times the carrier frequency, to a second circuit via the connector, receiving, by a determination circuit, the alternate current signal via the connector, determining whether the first circuit and the second circuit are fitted to each other via the connector based on the predetermined power and a power of the alternate current signal received by the determination circuit via the connector, and evaluating a fit state at the connector.
