An apparatus is disclosed for use with teletypewriter consoles in teleprinter communication networks for providing transmission time information during message preparation; namely, the number of whole minutes of message time plus either the number of characters remaining to the next full minute, or tenths of minutes of additional message time used. Such information enables the user to anticipate and thus optimize message time for which he is charged in a rounding-up charge procedure commonly used in such teleprinter communication networks. A preferred embodiment consists of a microprocessor-based computer for converting each character on a perforated tape to a sub-unit of time corresponding to the appropriate transmission rate of either TELEX or TWX network services. A 6-digit display permits the user to observe the actual number of whole minutes and either number of characters to the next whole minute or number of tenths of minutes already used in addition to whole minutes as he is preparing a perforated tape containing the message to be transmitted at a subsequent time. By merely checking the display, the operator may be continuously apprised of the time in minutes and tenths of minutes, or time in whole minutes plus the number of characters remaining until the next whole minute of message time, based on the characters already punched onto the perforated tape. In addition, in the preferred embodiment the user may preset a minimum on-line time to account for time lost during answer-back and signing-off which does not ordinarily constitute actual message time but which is still charged to the user. A keyboard is provided for selecting the appropriate message rate for either TELEX or TWX and for entering the appropriate sign-on and sign-off additional time for which he is charged. A particularly novel feature of the invention, which precludes the need for modifying a teletypewriter console device with which the present invention is to be used, is a photosensor circuit through which perforated tape passes as it emanates from the tape perforating device connected to the teletypewriter console.

Predetermined characters or graphic patterns are transmitted from a transmitting station to a receiving station in a system wherein a printing head is provided with at least one printing component in the receiving station and is supplied with binary character sequences which trigger printing commands. The binary character sequences which represent the predetermined characters are stored in the receiving station in a character generator from which the sequences are read following the transmission of data words assigned to the predetermined characters, and are fed to the printing head. When graphic patterns are transmitted, code words are produced in the transmitting station to describe the graphic patterns, which words possess the same format as the data words. The code words are transmitted in place of the data words to the receiving station and in the receiving station the code words are converted into binary character sequences which are fed to the printing head in the place of the binary character sequences emitted from the character generator.

In a phase-shift-keying (PSK) signaling system with or without amplitude modulation, using two channel carriers of like frequency in relative phase quadrature to identify one of eight signal levels, each signal level is associated with one of eight equispaced radii emanating from the center of an orthogonal matrix or coordinate system. That matrix is divided by its coordinate axes into four quadrants each encompassing three zones of potential signal deviation, i.e. a middle zone centered on the bisector of the quadrant and two lateral zones whose outer boundaries coincide with those of the quadrant. The signals incoming at a receiver input over the two channels are coherently detected and filtered to supply a pair of coordinates defining a point on the matrix generally falling into one of the three zones of a quadrant; upon conversion into digital form, with six modular bits and one sign bit each, these signals by their modular bits address one of 4,096 cells of a first read-only memory to call forth one of three two-bit combinations stored in these cells. The bit combination so read out identifies the zone -- irrespective of quadrant -- defined by the detected coordinates; these bits, together with the sign bits derived from the incoming signals, address one of 12 cells in a second read-only memory which thereupon delivers a three-bit word indicating the corresponding signal level and, if desired, two collateral multibit words fed back to the receiver input for correcting distortions of the next-following signals.

In a receiver of a transmission system for binary pulse signals whose DC level is disturbed during transmission, an accurate correction of the disturbing DC components is obtained even for pulse signals deviating considerably from the nominal transmission speeds and peak values, by using a correction circuit having two parallel branches between input and output. The first branch includes a capacitor between input and output and the second branch includes a peak detector and a comparator which co-operate for generating a binary decision signal which is applied to the output via a resistor. The AC components of the pulse signals are only passed through the first branch and the DC components inherent in the pulse signals are only passed through the second branch.
摘要:
A phase modulated carrier wave, in which a phase reversal represents one of two binary values is demodulated by sampling at a rate f.sub.s greater than the frequency of the carrier, comparing the phase of each sample with a sample delayed a nominal bit period in one channel, a sample delayed less than the nominal bit period in a second channel, and a sample delayed more than the nominal bit period in a third channel to compensate for positive and negative Doppler shift of the carrier from its nominal frequency in the second and third channels, respectively. A code word is detected in each of the three channels by comparing each demodulated sample bit with a replica of the code word, and correlating the results separately for each channel. The channel with the highest correlation is selected as the one most closely tuned to the carrier frequency received.
摘要:
A digital phase locked loop is described which includes a first gate through which incoming pulses are passed to subsequent data processing circuits, a second gate through which reference pulses having a predetermined pulse repetition rate equal to the repetition rate of the wanted incoming pulses are fed to a reset input of a counter such that each reference pulse resets the counter to zero, and a clock generator for feeding clock pulses to the counter. The counter is thereby repeatedly stepped through a predetermined cycle, the nominal period of the counter cycle being equal to the nominal period of the reference pulses, and means responsive to the number stored in the counter reaching a first predetermined value then latches both the first and second gates open for a predetermined relatively short period in each counter cycle during which the counter passes through its zero state.

A system for detecting frequency shift keying information on a real time basis independent of the amplitude of the input FSK signal. The second derivative of the input voltage waveform signal which is in exact phase with the input signal is obtained. The gain of the differentiated voltage signal is controlled so that when the input signal has a frequency below predetermined frequency, the magnitude o2 the differentiated voltage signal will be less than the magnitude of the input voltage signal at all points except zero; and when the input signal exceeds the predetermined frequency, the magnitude of the differentiated voltage signal exceeds that of the input voltage signal. The input signal and the gain controlled differentiated signal are magnitude compared and an output signal representative of the result of the comparison and hence of the frequency of the input signal is supplied. A low pass filter introducing minimal signal delay is utilized to remove possible logic silvers at the time when both signals are zero and when there is an input frequency change.
