摘要:
A digital circuitry is provided for modulating the amplitudes of sinusoidal carrier frequency signals in the phase domain. Thereto, a phase accumulator (2) delivers a digital phase signal in response to a carrier frequency signal to be modulated. A modulating phase signal is derived from an analog modulating signal by means of a A/D-converter (70), a ROM (60) containing phase data and a polarity generator (50). The phase signals from the phase accumulator (2) and from the polarity generator (50) are added, converted into sinusoidal amplitude signals and are converted into analog signals having phase modulated signal components with higher frequencies and amplitude modulated signal components with lower frequencies. A low-pass filter (120) delivers the desired analog amplitude modulated output signal.

A pulsed solid state system having solid state elements (80) responsive to drive pulses for generating RF signal pulses includes a timing circuit (20,22,24) generating signals which are applied to a pulse forming circuit (33) to provide preheat pulses and immediately subsequent thereto the drive pulses which are applied to the solid state elements (80) so as to reduce chirp and level variations of the generated RF signal pulses. The preheat and drive pulses are formed by transistors (70,74) which are rendered conductive when their current return paths are established through resistors (34,44) whose values determine the levels of the preheat and drive pulses. The duration of the preheat pulses may be made responsive to ambient temperature by using a negative-temperature- coefficient thermistor as the time determining element of the timing circuit (20,22,24) and the level of the preheat pulses may be made responsive to ambient temperature by using positive-temperature .coefficient silicon thermistors in the above mentioned current return path.
摘要:
A method for detecting encoded digital data from a substantially sinusoidal waveform (10), the encoded digital data having one of a first value and a second value at selected phase angles θn comprises generating the waveform having an amplitude Y defined by a first function at phase angles lying outside of regions having a range Δθ beginning at each phase angle θn, said first function being Y = sinθ; generating the waveform having an amplitude Y defined by the first function at phase angles lying inside the regions having a range of Δθ beginning at each phase angle θn where data of the first value is to be encoded; and generating the waveform having an amplitude Y defined by a second function at phase angles lying inside the regions having a range of Δθ associated with each phase angle θn where data of the second value is to be encoded, the second function being different from Y = sinθ, the detection including deriving sync pulses (16) from minima and maxima of the substantially sinusoidal waveform (10) to frame data words.
