    摘要: A VIR signal detector circuit for a color television receiver identifies the repetitive reception of a VIR color information signal on a predetermined horizontal line of video signal. The detection is accomplished with minimum interference from Gaussian and pulse-type noise to assure that VIR color control circuits in the receiver are activated only upon receipt of an actual VIR signal. The VIR signal detector operates by generating a viewing pulse of short duration during each horizontal line in which a VIR signal may be present. An accumulator, set to respond to a predetermined number of simultaneous detections of the viewing pulse and a video signal exceeding a predetermined value, generates a control signal indicating that a VIR signal is being received.

    摘要: A dipole antenna adjustable in span and distance to the reflector provides higher gain reception for a television receiver. By maintaining the ratio of span to distance constant optimum tuning is possible over a given band of frequencies. Tuning adjustment control is obtained from behind the reflector to eliminate interference with the radiation pattern of the antenna. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to tunable communication antennas and more specifically to a directional antenna tunable over the UHF band of television frequencies.More and more in recent times VHF channels for television broadcasting in many areas of the country has become limited and the need has greatly increased for UHF channel utilization. Broadcasting in the UHF band, however, presents the problem of greater transmission path loss and higher gain antenna systems are required. Where high quality outside antennas are utilized in the reception of the broadcasted television signals, these conditions of increased channel utilization presents little or no problem. However, for television reception where indoor antennas are relied upon such as, for example, with portable receivers, the normal loop UHF antenna has been found to be inadequate. This is due in part to two factors. The first is that the loop antenna lacks directivity. The second factor is that this antenna is relatively broad band in its receiving characteristic thus being a compromise presenting less than optimum gain for the various channels in the UHF band.It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide an improved UHF antenna for television receivers capable of portable and indoor use.Another object of the present invention is to provide a directional antenna that is tunable over a band of frequencies to provide higher gain communication.Another object of the present invention is to provide a dipole antenna with reflector that is tunable by simultaneous adjustment of dipole span and distance from the reflector.A further object is to provide a tunable dipole antenna tunable from behind the reflector to avoid interference with the radiation characteristics during tuning.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThese and other objects are realized by providing an antenna which includes a dipole or folded dipole adjustably supported parallel to the plane of the reflector. The span of the dipole is selected to be a half wave length at one of the frequencies in the band over which tuning is desired, e.g., the UHF band, and the distance of the dipole from the reflector is selected to be one quarter wave length. Dipole span and distance adjusting means are coupled to the dipole to change the span and distance of the dipole to the reflector simultaneously maintaining the ratio of span to distance constant throughout the band. The adjusting means may extend through the reflector to be actuated behind the reflector thereby avoiding interference with the radiation pattern during tuning.

    摘要: Small, low cost, notch antennas are provided that can be internally incorporated into the existing structure of wireless communicators, and that are functional in a variety of orientations of the wireless communicator. The notch antenna is preferably formed in the ground plane conductor of a printed circuit board (PCB) that has RF circuitry thereon for receiving and transmitting RF signals. The notch preferably has a configuration that results in electromagnetic waves having a substantially omnidirectional radiation pattern being radiated from the notch when RF signals are applied to the notch. Integrating the antenna function into the same printed circuit board (PCB) on which the transmitter and/or receiver functions are also located eliminates the need for an additional antenna component. However, if necessary, a notch antenna surface component is also provided.

    摘要: Antenna systems for use within wireless communication devices such as radiotelephones are provided and include an internal multi-frequency band antenna and an elongated antenna member that is retractable. The elongated antenna member is extendible from the housing of a communications device so as to have an extended position and a retracted position. The elongated antenna member includes an elongated conductive element that is capacitively coupled with the multi-frequency band antenna when the elongated antenna member is in the extended position. The multi-frequency band antenna is electrically isolated from the elongated conductive element when the elongated antenna member is in the retracted position. When the elongated antenna member is in an extended position, the elongated conductive element is configured to resonate as a half-wave monopole antenna when the internal antenna resonates within a first frequency band. The elongated conductive element is configured to resonate as a full-wave monopole antenna when the internal antenna resonates within a second frequency band.

    摘要: A system for the automatic correction of convergence and gray scale in color television employs light sensors, either singly or in an array, on the beam landing face of a cathode ray tube or on the screen of a projection receiver. The sensors can be placed in the overscanned area of the raster, such that they are outside the normal viewing area, or in the viewing area if the sensors are made sufficiently small. In the vicinity of a sensor, two of the three cathode ray tubes or electron guns are blanked. As the light beam, in the case of a projection system, crosses the sensor, an output is produced. This output is processed to obtain accurate timing characteristics. Since the position of the sensor is known in terms of counts in both the vertical and horizontal directions, error signals can be developed by comparing the timing of the sensor output with the proper count. These error signals are used to develop vertical and horizontal correction signals to correct the convergence of the one cathode ray tube or gun. The process is then repeated for the remaining two cathode ray tubes or guns. The output of the sensor is also amplified by gated amplifiers for each of the cathode ray tubes or guns in sequential order, and the outputs of these amplifiers are compared to a preset value to develop error signals. These error signals are used to set gun drives to correct the gray scale.

    摘要: Viewer preference adjustment of saturation is realized in a VIR controlled color television receiver by provision of a closed loop control circuit exclusive of the RGB matrix. During the presence of the VIR signal a control signal is generated within the closed loop that controls the chrominance to luminance ratio of the chrominance and luminance signals applied to the RGB matrix and to the blue matrix contained within the closed loop. Adjustment of the level of either the luminance signal or the chrominance signal applied to the blue matrix affects the control signal which in turn adjusts said chrominance to luminance ratio to compensate and thereby brings about a shift in the levels of the red, green and blue signals outputted by the RGB matrix to change the saturation of the color picture.
