摘要:
An apparatus for controlling the output of a switching amplifier (38) includes a signal dividing circuit (14) which generates a delayed replica (S1) of the carrier signal and a doubled signal (S2) having twice the carrier frequency. The doubled signal is effective for establishing a second time delayed signal relative to the first time delayed signal (S1A). The first and second time delayed signals are logically operated on so that a three state output representing the carrier signal is attained. A summing amplifier (26) utilizes the two time delayed signals to generate this three state output whereby if the two time delayed signals are out-of-phase, a zero voltage is connected to the drive portion (40, 42) of the switching amplifier thereby limiting the output of the switching amplifier.
摘要:
A time diversity carrier signal sampler utilizes a shift register [Figs. 6, 7 (70); Fig 8 (170)] in conjunction with a timer (190) and a plurality of phase samples [Fig. 7 (61, 62, 63); Fig. 8 (196, 197, 198)]. The instantaneous logic level of each phase is measured on a time diversity basis in orderto avoid the disadvantageous affects of noise pulses [Fig. 5 (54, 55)] which can occur coincidently on all three phases. The resulting carrier signal data is then provided [Fig. 8 (199)] to a microprocessor [Fig. 7 (80); Fig. 8 [(180)] for subsequent analysis and phase characteristic determinations. By judiciously selecting the sample and clock frquencies of the shift register, the sampling frequency for each phase and the time between sampling each of the phases can be preselected.
