Electronic component and reflected-wave cancelling method

Abstract

An electronic component includes a driver that outputs a signal to a reception apparatus; a storage device storing therein reflection information related to a reflected wave that returns to the driver when the signal is reflected back by the reception apparatus; a reflected wave detector that based on the reflection information, determines a measurement period for measuring the reflected wave and that based on the measurement period, measures an arrival time and a peak amplitude of the reflected wave; and a controller that based on the arrival time and the peak amplitude, extracts reflected-wave cancelling information for inhibiting effects of the reflected wave from the reception apparatus and that sets the extracted reflected-wave cancelling information in the driver.
