In addition, average level and the average frequency of the dummy argument composition P by the 23 generation/outputs of dummy argument composition efferent can be arbitrarily.But, as optimal way, average level about dummy argument composition P, about each dummy argument composition P, be positioned under the average level of information agent composition S of the leading portion situation different with the average level of the information agent composition S that is positioned at back segment, be made as the value between the two, for example meansigma methods under the situation of unanimity, is made as and the two value about equally.In addition, for the average frequency of dummy argument composition P, under the different situation of the frequency of the information agent composition S of the frequency of the information agent composition S of leading portion and back segment, be made as the value between the two, for example meansigma methods under the situation of unanimity, is made as and the two value about equally.In the example of Fig. 5, under the prerequisite that the average level of establishing each information agent composition S and frequency do not change, use the average level and the value consistent pulse signal of frequency of dummy argument composition P with information agent composition S.
Addition portion 24 inserts a unitary example as the dummy argument data among the present invention to come the device of work.Particularly, addition portion 24 have synthetic from signal processing part 22 outputs the information agent composition and from the function of the dummy argument composition of dummy argument composition efferent 23 outputs, have the function of the signal after transtation mission circuit 32 outputs are synthetic.
Fig. 6 is the sketch map that illustrates from the content of the signal of addition portion 24 output.As shown in Figure 5, the structure from the signal of addition portion 24 output is: dummy argument composition P has been inserted in the gap between the information agent part S of composing images signal, is in the state of having eliminated the gap as signal integral body.To transtation mission circuit 32 output, the processing that transtation mission circuit 32 is modulated etc. for signal is as shown in Figure 6 carried out wireless transmission via 33 pairs of receiving systems of transmitting antenna 3 to this signal from addition portion 24.
Then, receiving system 3 receives the wireless signal that sends from capsule type endoscope 2 via selected reception antenna 7.The receiving circuit 11 that the wireless signal that receives has by external device (ED) 8 carries out after the processing of demodulation etc., remove noise contribution by frequency filter 12, by ac-coupled circuit 13, under the regenerated state that has carried out the DC composition, input signal treatment circuit 14.Signal processing circuit 14 is carried out predetermined process, and by 15 pairs of storage parts of control part, 16 output image signal S1, storage part 16 the content stores of picture signal S1 in pocket recording medium 5.
Then, the advantage for the introduction system into sample under test of present embodiment 1 describes.As mentioned above, in the introduction system into sample under test of present embodiment 1, about the wireless signal that sends from capsule type endoscope 2 as dispensing device, be made as use with horizontal blanking during corresponding part inserted the signal of dummy argument composition.By adopting this structure, in the introduction system into sample under test of present embodiment 1, alleviated the burden of receiving system side, and had the advantage that in the processing of wireless signal, can remove noise contribution effectively.
Promptly, by with horizontal blanking during corresponding part insert dummy argument composition as AC signal, the wireless signal that sends from capsule type endoscope 2 can prevent and image line during corresponding part and and horizontal blanking during border between the corresponding part produce rapid voltage level change.Therefore, capsule type endoscope 2 has the advantage that can send following wireless signal, this wireless signal externally installs in 8 ac-coupled circuits that have 13, when realizing using the average level homogenization of AC coupled, can not produce because of instantaneous voltage changes the adverse effect that causes, alleviate the burden of receiving system side.
In addition, from utilizing the viewpoint of this advantage,,, then can use composition arbitrarily so long as form by the AC signal of regulation as the dummy argument composition that inserts to the gap.That is, compare,, can suppress the change of average level by AC signal is inserted as the dummy argument composition with the situation of the only corresponding flip-flop of use in the past with a certain side of high or Low.But, as more preferably mode, as mentioned above, become to be divided into the average level of information agent part roughly the same for dummy argument, be desirably consistent average level, in this case, the instantaneous voltage of degradation changes owing to can eliminate hurriedly basically, therefore can further lower the burden of ac-coupled circuit 13.
In addition, in present embodiment 1, go into dummy argument composition, have the advantage that can prevent from from the wireless signal that capsule type endoscope 2 sends, to comprise low-frequency component as AC signal by interpolation during horizontal blanking.Promptly, in structure in the past, under the situation of the gap that the flip-flop by only corresponding with high or Low fixed voltage constitutes, in wireless signal, comprise inevitably with horizontal blanking during the corresponding low-frequency component of time appearance during the space of waiting, in receiving system 3 sides, produce to enlarge the problem of passing through frequency band etc. of frequency filter 12.Relative therewith, in present embodiment 1, owing to insert the dummy argument composition that forms by AC signal, can not send wireless signal for the corresponding low-frequency component of time appearance during the wireless signal generation that sends and the space than narrow in the past frequency bandwidth to the gap.
Therefore, in receiving the receiving system 3 of wireless signal, for the frequency band that pass through of the frequency filter 12 that has in inside, compared with the past can the arrowbandization, pass through frequency band by constriction, have the advantage that can remove noise contribution more effectively.
And in present embodiment 1, the AC signal as constituting the dummy argument composition is made as the AC signal that use is made of single clock as shown in Figure 5.Under the situation that adopts said structure, can simplify the mechanism of dummy argument composition efferent 23, in addition, only extract the filtering mechanism of the frequency content corresponding by other setting with the frequency of single clock shown in Figure 5, can easily judge during the space, in present embodiment 1 for during the horizontal blanking.
In addition, can certainly use Fig. 5 structure in addition as the AC signal that constitutes the dummy argument composition.For example, replace single clock shown in Figure 5, can use pseudo noise (PN:Pseudo Noise) sign indicating number.Pseudo-noise code is the general name of the spreading code series used in the frequency spectrum diffusion, is using this yard series to form under the situation of dummy argument composition, constitutes the dummy argument composition by the AC signal of the frequency band with wide region.Using under the situation of pseudo-noise code like this, also can average frequency and average level be become and the equal value of information agent part by constituting, enjoy above-mentioned advantage.In addition, as the advantage of using pseudo-noise code, can list the peak value that when carrying out modulation treatment, lowers modulation spectrum, frequency spectrum is disperseed by transtation mission circuit 32.
