Petite ligne de transmission de micro-ondes de guides d'ondes coplanaires à très faible impédance. Une section de ligne de transmission de guides d'ondes coplanaires composites composée d'une pluralité de doigts entrelacés (14, 1; 21, 23) est couplée entre des sections d'entrée et de sortie de la ligne de transmission. Des doigts entrelacés alternés sont connectés à un conducteur principal (12) des sections d'entrée et de sortie de la ligne de transmission et à une couche (11) métallique horizontale de base. La section composite de la ligne de transmission peut être connectée aux sections d'entrée et de sortie de la ligne de transmission soit en un arrangement en cascade soit en un arrangement de dérivation. Des impédances caractéristiques composites de moins de 2 ohms sont obtenues.

A surface acoustic wave device is used as a unique word detector and coherent demodulator for a digital code differential phase-shift signal. The device improves code word detection by providing a coherent reference with a correlation gain of 10 log M dB. M is the additional number of fingers introduced into the surface acoustic wave device, which determine the phase of the unique word. To achieve this result with higher reliability and higher correlation coefficient, use is made also of a few bits of the clock recovery which precede the unique word in a preamble as used in Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems. The device requires two interdigital output transducers, one (23) of which provides maximum output in response to surface acoustic waves corresponding to a preassigned pattern of the unique word, such as a sequence of all zeros combined with a partial sequence of the clock recovery bits. The outputs of the two interdigital output transducers are maximized at the same instant to detect the auto-correlation peak of the unique word with performance equivalent to coherent demodulation. Also, clock and data are recovered in the second set of interdigital transducers.

A digital adaptive finite impulse response (AFIR) filter having a large number of coefficients is composed of two or more separate filter units. The first filter unit computes response samples h o - h n+1 in response to input signal samples to provide a partial estimated response during each sampling period. After the signal samples arefully processed by the first unit, they are transferred to a second filter unit which produces response samples h n+2 - h p±1 in response thereto to provide a second partial response. The sum of the two partial responses is computed to provide the total estimated system response. The two independent filter units thus act simultaneously to provide twice as many coefficients as prior art AFIR filters in the same amount of time.

A microprogrammable TDMA terminal controller is of modular construction. Frame reference and burst synchronization timing are resolved to the symbol level by a split frame counter, and a control RAM is reprogrammable "on-the-fly" to permit easy changes in terminal traffic assignments. The terminal controller includes a microprogrammed RAM controller (10) for performing real time burst and data path control functions, transmit and receive high-speed data path modules (12, 14) for interfacing with the modem and terrestrial interface ports and providing direct burst processing of the data, a microcomputer-based operation control (16) and a high stability oscillator (22)

A common memory is used for asynchronous interleaved read and write operations. TDMA data compression and expansion is performed without ping-pong memories and elastic buffering is also possible. A buffer reset method is used to automatically slip a fixed number of bits in response to excessive phase shift between the read and write clock.

A network of personal communications terminals communicating in a CDMA mode includes a reference station for transmitting a pilot tone that is pre-corrected at the reference station and is used at the remaining stations for frequency control, transmit power control and antenna acquisition and tracking. Voice activation is employed to permit the CDMA system to share the satellite transponder power and bandwidth in a fully Demand-Assignment-Multiple-Accessing (DAMA) manner. Burst-mode operation of a voice activated CDMA system is permitted by sending dummy data in the speech pausing period at a reduced (but not zero) power level, and the "near-far" problem inherent in a CDMA system is mitigated by the use of uplink power control.

In a flat antenna incorporating one or more low-noise amplifier circuits onto a power divider network, a stripline-to-microstrip transition is provided. The amplifier circuit (100) is mounted vertically on a block (110) between a ground plane (10) and the radiator level (30), so that, in the transition, the electric field of the stripline power divider is rotated 90° to the microstrip mode. A block (110) on which the circuit (100) is mounted forms a connection between the ground plane (10) and the layer of radiating elements (30) which constitutes the other ground plane for the antenna.
摘要:
A compact multi-layer flat antenna structure incorporating a low noise block down-converter on the power divider network layer of the antenna. RF circuit losses are reduced, and the antenna/receiver combination is made more compact, for flush mounting. The antenna/receiver combination finds particular utility in direct broadcast satellite (DBS) applications for single or dual orthogonal polarizations. The connection between the antenna and receiver may be implemented in stripline/ coplanar waveguide, or other known technologies such as microstrip, slotline, and finline.
