摘要:
A circuit arrangement for deriving an output current from an input current, which output current is limited to a current range which is bounded by at least one limit value. It is possible to limit high-frequency currents by avoiding current distributions or saturation effects in that the circuit arrangement comprises a current combination element (1) for forming an at least substantially linear combination of the input current (IE), the output current (IA) and a fixed reference current (IR) and by at least a rectifier circuit (2) arranged in the current path of the input current (IE) and/or the output current (IA).

An automatic gain control circuit having different control loops which must each be controlled in a different control current range by one and the same control current, includes a current threshold circuit having an input to which a threshold current source (7) and the emitters of a complementary transistor pair are connected so that the collector current of each transistor can control a control loop.

A low cost, high frequency isolation amplifier includes a first voltage-to-frequency converter producing a first pair of complementary pulses in response to an analog input signal and applying them to a pair of low capacitance capacitors constituting the isolation barrier. The isolation barrier differentiates edges of the first pair of pulse signals and applies the resulting signals to inputs of a sense amplifier including a differential amplifier, a pair of comparators, and a flip-flop to precisely reconstruct the first pair of complementary pulse signals, which then are fed into a decoder circuit including a phase locked loop. The phase locked loop includes a phase detector receiving the reconstructed pair of complementary pulse signals and a second pair of complementary pulse signals produced by a second voltage-to-frequency converter. The output of the phase detector is integrated by a filter circuit, the output of which produces a voltage that represents the analog input signal and causes the output of the second voltage-to-frequency converter to be synchronized with the second pair of complementary pulse signals when the analog output signal matches the analog input signal.

An amplifier-limiter device intended to amplify a received signal up to a predetermined value. The device comprises 2n integrated circuits of the emitter coupled logic type which are connected in series, these integrated circuits forming n successive pairs and each pair having associated with it a compensating circuit which compensates for the linear distortion caused by the integrated circuits of the pair.

A peak limiter is described which employs the Hilbert transform. Effectively distinct processing occurs for low frequency and high frequency signals and harmonic distortion results only when the limiter is excited by high frequencies.

Several circuit detectors and noise reduction networks with circuit detectors are disclosed. Detectors and networks according to the invention generally include a discharge diode placed within a feedback loop of an operational amplifier so that the hold time of the system is unaffected by the detector level. Circuits according to the invention may also include a conductor to provide a dynamically controlled charge and/or discharge path in combination with an active signal amplifying device.
摘要:
A millimeter wave planar slot excited image guide ferrite power limiter crising a length of dielectric transmission line or waveguide for millimeter wave frequencies located on a relatively thin conductive ground plane, forming thereby an image guide. The ground plane includes a plurality of selectively positioned slots along the length of the ground plane under the dielectric waveguide in which bodies of high anisotropy uniaxial barium ferrite material are placed and which collectively act as a passive ferrite power limiter when biased by an externally applied biasing magnetic field. A biasing magnetic field is provided by a pair of rare earth permanent magnets located along the sides of the image guide perpendicular to the orientation of the RF magnetic fields of the signal propagating down the dielectric waveguide. This leaves the top surface of the image dielectric guide accessible for other integrated circuit fabrication.
摘要:
A circuit for limiting the magnitude of current sourced from a first load circuit to a second load circuit to a predetermined value. The circuit includes a current sourcing circuit for sourcing current from the first load circuit to the second and a feedback circuit which is responsive to the magnitude of the current sourced to the second load circuit reaching the predetermined value for supplying any additional current that the second load circuit may require while inhibiting additional current from being sourced from the first load circuit.
摘要:
Two parallel signal paths carry a composite signal having a narrow-band component such as an FM station's composite signal. The first path includes a notch filter that removes the narrow-band component, such as the FM stereo pilot tone, from the composite signal and also includes a reciprocal clipper coupled to the output of the notch filter that selects peaks beyond given maximum and minimum limits from the remainder of the composite signal. These peaks are then effectively subtracted from the corresponding peaks of the composite signal in the second path and the resultant signal is used to modulate the station's carrier frequency. The resultant signal is an amplitude limited composite signal in which the narrow-band component is substantially unimpaired even though the composite signal has been amplitude limited.
