摘要:
Digital loop circuit for controlling synchronization around a closed loop communication system. The control circuit (20) is designed to automatically adjust the delay of the loop to maintain a constant frame bit length without regard to the number of stations connected into the loop. As stations are added or subtracted from the loop, the system operates to subtract or add delay as necessary. A first in and first out (FIFO) register having a bit capacity equal to the frame size is inserted serially in the loop and a separate clock is used to control the input and the output of the first in and first out register (FIFO). If a unique frame bit is not received in the anticipated position then the clock output skips one count per frame thereby adding delay to the loop. The loop control circuit operates for situations where the framing bit is on a separate channel and also when the framing bit is on the actual data channel.

A TV tuner (100,200) includes a plurality of amplifiers (120,122,220,222,224,226) having inputs for coupling to an antenna (110,210), a plurality of filters (140,142,230,232,234,236) having inputs coupled to outputs of the plurality of amplifiers (120,122,220,222,224,226), and a first multiplexer (150,240) having inputs coupled to outputs of the plurality of filters (140,142,230,232,234,236), the first multiplexer (150,240) for selecting an output of one of the filters (140,142,230,232,234,236). The TV tuner (100,200) further includes a mixer (160,250) having an input coupled to an output of the first multiplexer (150,240), and an output amplifier (180,270) having an input coupled to an output of the mixer (160,250) and an output for providing output of the TV tuner (100,200).
摘要:
A signal receiver generates a reference signal that sweeps frequencies of desired channel bands, and then feeds the reference signal to an input terminal of receiver unit via a signet-switching circuit that performs switching of the desired-channel signal and the reference signal. The signal receiver then detects the signal strength present in plural frequencies of intermediate frequencies delivered to an output terminal of the reference signal, and after storing detected signal data in a memory, the signal receiver compares the detected signal data to aimed frequency characteristics. Then, the signal receiver determines tuning voltages of respective tuning circuits so that difference arose from the comparison can be minimized. After determining the tuning voltages, these voltages are delivered to respective tuning circuits, and then switching operation between the reference signal and the desired channel signal is executed before the signal receiver eventually receives the switched signal.
