    摘要: A speech encoder converts analog speech signals into a stream of binary coded speech samples. A circuit for performing analog to digital conversion compares an input speech signal with a signal from a digital integrator. Based on the comparison a series of decisions are registered which indicate a step sign of the input signal. A syllabic filter generates a step magnitude according to the registered decisions. The step sign and step magnitude are combined providing a sign/magnitude representation of the input signal. When the sign/magnitude representation is integrated digitally in a decimation filter a digital representation of the analog signal is formed. A speech decoder, the antithesis of the encoder, converts binary coded speech samples into an analog waveform in a manner opposite to the A/D conversion method.

    摘要: In a mobile radio telephone system employing TDMA or CDMA, mobile units often must determine the timing and appropriate power necessary for transmissions to a base station. Information broadcast by base stations allows the mobile station to approximate its distance from each base station based on an average signal strength received and thereby determine the coarse sector location. Broadcast information may include the mean radial distribution of signal strength versus distance. From the broadcast information, the mobile station determines the propagation loss for a transmission to the base station and the appropriate power level and timing for transmissions. Accordingly, the mobile station transmits signals to the base station at the determined signal timing and power level.

    摘要: A relaxation oscillator of reduced complexity is described which can be constructed as part of a silicon integrated circuit. The current controlled oscillator includes complementary field effect transistors operating in enhancement mode. The drain of one FET is connected to the gate of the other FET and vice versa. The resulting CMOS circuit functions as a four-layer diode. A resistor is connected between the drains of both transistors. A storage capacitor is connected between the sources of both transistors. A current source is connected to charge the storage capacitor such that the frequency of an oscillator output signal is determined by the current generated by the current source.

    摘要: A system for wireless communication between at least one first station and a plurality of second stations using a relay station is disclosed. The relay station contains, among other features, an antenna array and a multi-channel transponder. The antenna array has a plurality of antenna elements which are divided into two sets. The first set is used to provide transmission or reception using beams having a first beamwidth and the second set is used to provide transmission or reception using beams having a second beamwidth. The multi-channel transponder, which is connected to the antenna array and a feeder link antenna, receives feeder link signals from at least one of the first stations and converts the signals into drive signals for the antenna array elements. The multi-channel transponder has a first channel bandwidth for channels transponding signals for transmissions having the first beamwidth and a second channel bandwidth for channels transponding signals for transmissions having said second beamwidth. The plurality of second stations is divided dynamically by a switching system into at least a first group that use the narrowest beamwidth and a second group that use the widest beamwidth, according to the path loss requirements for each group.

    摘要: An amplifying apparatus for linearly amplifying a desired signal using a pair of coupled non-linear amplifiers is disclosed. The amplifying apparatus comprises a limiter for separating amplitude variations from the desired signal and producing a constant amplitude signal bearing the phase of the desired signal and an amplitude related signal. In addition, a drive signal generater produces two drive signals each dependent on the constant amplitude signal and the amplitude related signal such that each drive signal depends on the phase of the desired signal and such that the sum of the squares of the amplitudes of the drive signals is constant. Finally, a coupler couples the two drive signals to produce two constant amplitude signals for driving the pair of non-linear power amplifiers and for coupling the outputs of the power amplifiers to produce two amplified output signals, one of which is the linearly amplified desired signal and the other of which is a waste energy signal.

    摘要: A radio telephone which is capable of switching between operating through a land based cellular network and an orbiting satellite system is disclosed. First antenna and radio frequency circuits receive transmitted signals from the land-based network and form first conditioned Signals for subsequent numerical decoding. Second antenna and radio frequency circuits receive transmitted signals from the orbiting satellite system and form second conditioned signals for subsequent numerical decoding. Numerical decoders process either the first conditioned signals or the second conditioned signals to provide an automatic frequency control signal. Reference frequency oscillators controlled by the automatic frequency control signal provide a reference frequency signal. Radio frequency synthesizers using the reference frequency signal and having a first output at a first programmable frequency connected to the first radio frequency circuits determine reception of a channel frequency of the land-based network and a second output at a second programmable frequency connected to the second radio frequency circuits determine reception of a channel frequency of the orbiting satellite system.

    摘要: In an audio system, a loudspeaker responds to an input signal producing a sound pressure wave having a linear component, which is linear function of the input signal, and an undesired non-linear component, which is a non-linear function of the input signal. Accordingly, it is desirable to reduce the non-linear component of the output sound pressure wave. An adaptive precompensating audio system for reducing this non-linear component includes a loudspeaker for producing a sound pressure wave and a precompensating filter for precompensating an input signal representative of the desired sound pressure wave. In addition, a microphone may be used to convert the resulting sound pressure wave into a sound signal and a precompensating filter modifier may be used to modify the precompensating filter in response to the sound signal. Preferably, the precompensating filter transforms the input signal using an inverse of an estimated transfer function for the loudspeaker.
