    摘要: The median value of a set of voltage values is found by a technique that minimizes the circuitry while maximizing the speed, and also provides for dropouts. The voltage values, illustratively five in number (e.g., V₁ ... V₅), are applied in pairs to the inputs of ten comparators (e.g., 100 ... 109). The outputs of the comparators, and their complements, are formed into five "status words" (e.g., W₁ ... W₅) of four bits each (e.g., C₁₂, C₁₃, C₁₄, C₁₅, ... C₅₁, C₅₂, C₅₃, C₅₄), such that each bit of a given status word represents the comparison of a given value with another of the values. status word represents the comparison of a given value with another of the values. The status word that contains two l's and two 0's represents the median value. In a preferred circuit embodiment, this status word is rapidly determined in a series of three logic stages, wherein the highest and lowest values are eliminated in the first stage (e.g., Fig. 2), the next highest and lowest are eliminated in the second stage (e.g., Fig. 3), and the last stage (e.g., 400 ... 404) determines the remaining status word that is associated with the median value. This technique also readily provides for dropouts by initializing the logic circuitry. For example, the fifth status word (associated with the fifth value) is preset to 1111, so that if any single value is not received, the missing value is not chosen as the median. Additional dropouts may be similarly treated to ensure that the median is chosen only from the voltage values actually received. This technique may be used, for example, in a disk drive system, where the position of a servo head must be precisely controlled.

    摘要: In an ADPCM coder l00 and decoder including a so-called locking-unlocking adaptation speed control l06, the adaptation speed is locked to a very slow, almost constant, speed of adaptation for voiceband data and partial band energy signals, i.e., tones and tone like signals, and is unlocked to achieve a fast speed of adaptation for speech. When a so-called partial band energy signal is being inputted, the adaptation speed is biased (via l06) toward the unlocked state and when a transition occurs from a partial band energy signal to another such signal, the adaptation speed is set to the totally unlocked state and coefficients of an adaptive predictor l02 are set to prescribed values. This is done in both the coder and decoder to minimize generation of impulse noise in the decoder output.

    摘要: A parallel data transmission system (20) comprises a cable (40) which is capable of balanced mode transmission but which is driven in an unbalanced mode. The cable includes a plurality of twisted pairs of individually insulated conductors (42-42) enclosed by a metallic shield (54). The twist lengths are relatively short to cause the pairs to be decoupled sufficiently from one another to allow substantially error-free, parallel transmission over relatively long distances. Interposed between the core and the shield is a spacing member (52) which has a relatively low dielectric constant. Receiving facilities are provided for detecting whether the level of transmitted signals is above or below predetermined threshold values and for converting the received signals into one of two or more logic levels. Advantageously, this system increases substantially the distances over which substantially error-free transmission in an unbalanced mode can be accomplished.

    摘要: An adaptive equalizer 200 is disclosed which includes a plurality of multiply-accumulate devices 201, 202, 203 and a rotating coefficient register 212. Each multiply-accumulate device multiplies each input signal sample by an associated coefficient in an ensemble, stores the result and periodically outputs the accumulated results as the equalized input signal. The rotating coefficient register successively associates each coefficient in the ensemble with a different multiply-accumulate device. Coefficient update circuitry 213, 230, 214, 216, 21 is also provided which periodically updates the coefficients in the ensemble so as to optimize equalizer performance.
