A transmitting and receiving circuit that transmits and receives signals using coaxial cables includes an input/output terminal that delivers and receives signals, a first port, a second port, a switch, and a ceramic-based electro-static discharge protector. The first port transfers a transmitted signal in a first transmission frequency band width and a received signal in a first reception frequency band width. The second port transfers a transmitted signal in a second transmission frequency band width and a received signal in a second reception frequency band width. The switch connects a common port to one of the first port and the second port. The common port is connected to the input/output terminal on one end of the common port and to the switch on the other end. The electro-static discharge protector is connected between the common port and the ground potential.

In described examples, a quadrature phase shifter includes digitally programmable phase shifter networks for generating leading and lagging output signals in quadrature. The phase shifter networks include passive components for reactively inducing phase shifts, which need not consume active power. Output currents from the transistors coupled to the phase shifter networks are substantially in quadrature and can be made further accurate by adjusted by a weight function implemented using current steering elements. Example low-loss quadrature phase shifters described herein can be functionally integrated to provide low-power, low-noise up/down mixers, vector modulators and transceiver front-ends for millimeter wavelength (mmwave) communication systems.

A technique relates to a superconducting microwave combiner. A first filter through a last filter connects to a first input through a last input, respectively. The first filter through the last filter each has a first passband through a last passband, respectively, such that the first passband through the last passband are each different. A common output is connected to the first input through the last input via the first filter through the last filter.

The present technology relates to a reception device, a transmission device, and a data processing method with which it becomes possible to operate digital television broadcasting more flexibly. A reception device receives a broadcast signal transmitted by frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and processes, on the basis of control information existence information that is information included in first control information, which is acquired from the broadcast signal and is control information in a physical layer, and that indicates existence/non-existence of second control information that is control information in an upper layer of the physical layer, the second control information transmitted in each hierarchy. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a receiver that can receive digital television broadcasting.
