Abstract:
@ A low power line driving transmission apparatus is described in which TDM signals are transmitted between points over a transmission line comprising a pair of conductors and in which the characteristic impedance of the transmission line and the source impedance of the transmitters is matched and wherein the input impedance of the receivers is sufficiently high to present an effective open circuit to received signals. Under these conditions the transmitter dissipates power only during logical transitions of the input signals.
Abstract:
A digital transmission system comprising at least two transmitting-receiving (T/R) units (40,50) and a single transmission line (30) connected therebetween. One of the T/R unit (40) transmits a control signal to the other T/R unit (50) in which a frame synchronization and timing recovery is carried out with the use of the thus transmitted control signal. At the same time, the other T/R unit (5) inhibits transmission of an own side send signal to the first T/R unit (40). Further, the send signal from one T/R unit to the other T/R unit is transmitted in the form of a frame. Each frame includes, at its end portion, a non-signal duration part.
Abstract:
A communication adapter circuit (10) is connected to a processor through processor I/0 interface buses (12, 14). Data and control signals are provided through the buses (12, 14) to a timer circuit (18), a programmable peripheral interface circuit (20), an asynchronous and bisynchronous control circuit (22) and an SDLC/HDLC control circuit (24). Each of the control circuits (22, 24) includes parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversion circuitry. A clock select circuit (32) operates in conjunction with the timer circuit (18) and the programmable peripheral interface circuit (20) to establish a data transmission rate for the data flow through the adapter circuit (10). From the control circuits (22, 24) the data is transmitted through a modem interface bus (44) to a dual modem switch (56). From the switch (56) the data is transmitted to either an EIA RS 232 interface circuit (60) to a conventional modem or through a bus (64) to an internal modem. A phase locked loop circuit in the control circuit (24) generates a data clock signal on a line (33) for operation of the adapter circuit (0) in the bisynchronous protocol with a non-clock-generating modem.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method and apparatus providing a common handshaking protocol for the 201, 202 and 208 modems in long distance data transmission. According to the present invention a novel handshaking sequence trains up any echo canceller 74 in the circuit, detects the presence of any echo suppressor 82 and uses a conventional signal preamble in the presence of echo cancellers 74 and a sacrificial carrier sequence in the presence of echo suppressors 82. As in the prior art, a ringing signal is applied to an answer modem 40 in response to a signal from an originate modem 30. The answer modem 40 is connected to the communication line after receipt of the ringing signal, and an answerback tone is transmitted from the answer modem to the originate modem after a period of silence following connection of the answer modem to the line. After receipt of the answerback tone, the originate modem 30 is connected to the communication line. In accordance with the invention, this is followed by a period of silence that is sufficiently long to reactivate any echo suppressors 82 in the communication line. Thereafter at least two training sequences are transmitted, one from the originate modem 30 to the answer modem 40 and the other from the answer modem 40 to the originate modem 30, each training sequence being sufficiently long to train up any echo canceller 74 in the line. The lengths of the training sequences as received are compared with their lengths as transmitted to determine if the length of the sequence was shortened by an echo suppressor 82. If the length of the training sequences as received are significantly shorter than their lengths as transmitted, a sacrificial carrier is transmitted at the beginning of each transmission of data in a new direction. In the event the training sequences as received are not significantly shorter, each transmission of data in a new direction begins without a sacrificial carrier. As a result, greater data throughput can be achieved in the absence of echo suppressors 82 and errors can be avoided while echo cancellers 74 are being trained.
Abstract:
A duplex digital transmitter system is disclosed which permits simultaneous digital signal exchange over a two-wire loop. Two sets are provided at the ends of the loop, each having a three-port lattice adapted to separate the transmitted and received digital signals. The digital signals are encoded using a biphase scheme so that they have a zero D.C. component. Therefore the loop is used simultaneously to transmit D.C. power from one set to the other.

Das erfindungsgemäße System ist besonders für Elektrizitäts versorgungsunternehmen geeignet, da ein Kabel mit Licht leitfasern unmittelbar von Störspannungen unbeeinflußt ne ben Stromversorgungsleitungen verlegt werden kann und gleichzeitig die vertrauten Trägerfrequenzsysteme einge setzt werden können.
Abstract:
@ A monitoring unit supplied with a signal to be measured which can control the operation of actuator elements such as electro-mechanical relays, is connected through a single transmission line to a visual display unit for the presentation of the signal to be measured in visual form. The visual display unit has associated regulating elements which allow threshold values of the signal to be selected (for example minimum and maximum values) in correspondence with which it is wished to vary the operating conditions of the said relays. Indicator lights associated with an indicator module indicate the operating conditions of these actuator elements. The monitoring unit includes a power source which causes an electrical current flow in the transmission line, the average magnitude of which represents the value of the signal being measured. The visual display unit on the other hand includes a current meter which is sensitive to the current flowing in the transmission line and comparator elements, the switching threshold of which is at a level which can be selected by means of regulating members. When the signal being measured reaches one of these treshold levels, a voltage generator in the visual display unit applies a corresponding voltage to the transmission line. This voltage is detected by a voltage meter present in the monitoring unit. The voltage meter acts on a corresponding relay causing it to change its state. Furthermore, an auxiliary oscillator associated with the voltage meter passes a pulse signal into the transmission line through the current generator with an average value of zero, this pulsed signal being receveid by the visual display unit and activating the corresponding indicator light. The remote supply of the visual display unit is provided for by an alternating current signal with an average value of zero fed through the transmission line.
