Abstract:
Known is a digital radio system comprising a digital radio device for phase or frequency modulated digital signals with a substantial amplitude roll-off at the relevant operating range. A digital radio device is provided with a quadrature demodulator not having such an amplitude roll-off. This is obtained by a phase shifting network in a quadrature branch of the demodulator having a series arrangement of a resistor and a capacitor coupled to an inductor coupled to ground. A junction between the series arrangement and the inductor forms the output of the quadrature branch. Alternative embodiments are provided. The demodulator avoids asymmetric digital signal distortion which can have deteriorating effects, in particular to GFSK-signals or π/4-DQPSK signals, or the like, and further noise shift of data which is of particular importance in low [S/N]-systems such as paging systems.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for imparting a positive phase slope (i.e., a negative group delay) to a narrowband signals is disclosed which adjuststhe phases of the various frequency components of a signal in a manner opposite to that of a delay line. The invention also permits the amount of phase slope to be adjusted, electronically, without the need for electro-mechanical apparatus or the interchange of cables. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention are advantageous in that at the center of the operating band they maintain the phase of the delayed signal. These results are obtained in an illustrative embodiment of the present invention which divides the signal to be delayed into two signals which traverse different signal paths (715, 719) and are recombined in a signal combiner (729). The first signal path advantageously comprises a gain control block (717). The second signal path advantageously comprises a second gain control block (725) and a fixed line delay (719) which is not found in the first signal path. The amount of phase slope imparted to the signal can be adjusted by varying the gain (or attenuation) of the respective gain control blocks (717, 725).

Provided is a polyphase filter, which is capable of achieving amplitude matching and phase matching while achieving a low insertion loss with a single-stage configuration. A first variable resistor and a second variable resistor have resistance values that are equal to each other, and the resistance values are set so as to correct an amplitude error between orthogonal signals of outputs of a first output terminal to a fourth output terminal. A first variable capacitor, a second variable capacitor, a third variable capacitor, and a fourth variable capacitor have capacitance values that are equal to one another, and the capacitance values are set so as to correct a phase error between the orthogonal signals of the outputs of the first output terminal to the fourth output terminal.
Abstract:
An inventive high frequency circuit includes a switch circuit (SPDT1), connected to an antenna terminal (Ant1), using a field-effect transistor for switching between a connection with first to third transmitting terminals (Tx1-1, Tx2-1, Tx3-1) and a connection with first to third receiving terminals (Rx1-1, Rx2-1, Rx3-1); a transmitting-side triplexer (Trip1) for branching a transmitting path connected to the switch circuit into transmitting paths of first to third frequency bands; and a receiving-side triplexer (Trip2) for branching a receiving path connected to the switch circuit into receiving paths of the first to third frequency bands. The switch circuit can be formed as an IC to downsize the circuit. For example, in constructing the high frequency circuit with a laminated module using a ceramic laminated substrate or the like, particularly when the number of triplexers occupying a large space is large, the switch circuit is formed as an IC and mounted on the laminated body, whereby the whole structure can be downsized.
Abstract:
A system for an eight-phase 45° polyphase filter with amplitude matching, where a full eight-phase 45° split may be achieved by tying together the inputs of two offset four-phase 90° phase splitters. Amplitude matching may be achieved by obtaining those inputs from an additional single four-phase 90° phase splitter. The additional phase splitter can distribute power evenly among the inputs of the two offset phase splitters so as to cancel out the occurrence of any uneven power distribution.

Abstract:
An equalizer (100) is suitable for removing the delay distortion from a switched digital signal received from a telephone channel where the delay distortion is caused by a bridge-tap connected to the telephone channel. The equalizer includes a feedback delay circuit (200) which is arranged to delay the output signal (150) by an amount of time based on the square of the predominant frequency of the output signal. The resulting delayed feedback signal (130) is then combined with the input signal, thereby compensating for the delay distortion. The equalizer also includes an amplifier (103) which may be adjusted to compensate to the attenuation distortion caused by the bridge tap.
