Abstract

In a wireless receiver having a plurality of antennas for wireless microphones, variation in received signal strength from the plurality of antennas is eliminated when displayed on an indicator. The receiver includes a plurality of receiving circuits respectively corresponding to the plurality of antennas outputs a received signal strength as a detection voltage received by each of the antennas, an indicator that displays the received signal strength by the number of lighting segments, a lookup table in which a correspondence relation between a value of the detection voltage and the number of lighting segments of the indicator is set for each of the receiving circuits, and a display unit that refers to the lookup table based on the value of the detection voltage output from the plurality of receiving circuits and displays a level signal based on the number of lighting segments of the indicator set in the lookup table.

Claims (12)

1. A wireless receiver that receives a radio wave from a wireless microphone by a plurality of antennas and demodulates an audio signal, the wireless receiver comprising:

a plurality of receiving circuits that respectively corresponds to the plurality of antennas and each of which outputs a received signal strength of a received signal by each of the antennas, as a detection voltage;

an indicator that displays the received signal strength received by the plurality of antennas by the number of lighting segments;

a lookup table in which a correspondence relationship between a value of the detection voltage and the number of lighting segments of the indicator is set for each of the receiving circuits; and

a display unit that refers to the lookup table based on the value of the detection voltage outputted from the plurality of receiving circuits and displays on the indicator the number of lighting segments of the indicator set in the lookup table, as a level signal.

2. The wireless receiver according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of indicators is respectively provided in correspondence to the plurality of antennas, and

the display unit refers to the lookup table for each of the receiving circuits and displays on the indicator the number of lighting segments of the indicator set in the lookup table, as the level signal.

3. The wireless receiver according to claim 1 , further comprising a muting unit that performs mute control with the level signal as a reference signal.

4. The wireless receiver according to claim 1 , further comprising an attenuation unit that performs attenuation processing of a signal with the level signal as a reference signal.

5. The wireless receiver according to claim 2 , wherein the lookup table is formed for each reception circuit in such a manner that the detection voltages of received signals with antennas for a plurality of different electric field strength correspond to the number of lighting segments for the detection voltages, and the number of lighting segments of the indicator for the same detection voltage is identical in a plurality of reception circuits.

6. The wireless receiver according to claim 1 , wherein values of detection voltage to be set in the lookup table are determined by approximate calculation performed such that each of in-advance measured reception characteristics of antenna and reception circuit is consistent with each other.
