Abstract:
A wireless telephone using an RF receiver unit and an RF transmitter unit and having a removable headset, the telephone and headset particularly suitable for applications where the RF transmitter unit is switched on and off at a frequency less than twenty kilohertz. The wireless telephone is coupled to the headset using a conventional stereo plug and jack. A headset detect logic signal is generated from the speaker audio line. A microphone current detect logic signal is generated from the microphone audio line. A digital logic circuit, preferably including a microprocessor, monitors the headset detect logic signal and microphone current detect logic signals and generates a programmed response to the headset detect logic signal. The programmed response reduces audible noise to the headset user, generates a ringing signal on the speaker audio line when an incoming call is received and allows the headset user to answer incoming calls, and place outgoing calls while touching only the headset. The wireless telephone and headset include circuitry to reject RF noise and circuitry to attenuate RF noise passed into the wireless telephone by a long multi-conductor wire coupling the headset to the wireless telephone.
Abstract:
A phase locked loop including a switch between a phase detector output and a VCO input to open the PLL during a frequency change is provided. While the PLL is open, an analog error correction signal is generated by sampling any residual error coming from the phase detector, and generating the analog error correction signal to counter the residual error. Once analog error correction signal is available, the switch is closed and the error correction signal is added to the phase detector output and the PLL is allowed to settle to an optimized frequency.
Abstract:
A unique method and system is disclosed for generating digital clock timing in a receiver for use in direct-sequence spread-spectrum digital communication systems wherein spread data is delivered from a transmitter to a receiver. The present invention provides at the transmitter frames of digital communication data with each frame having a plurality of time slots and with each time slot having a plurality of digital bits. The transmitter utilizes direct-sequence spreading codes for spreading the digital bits in the time frame. The direct sequence spreading codes each have the same fixed sequence length of M chips and, furthermore, the number of chips per bit CB to spread each digital bit is constant and fully aligned with each digital bit. The ration of M:CB is an integer and the ratio of time of each time slot to the time of the M chips also equals an integer. The spread frames of digital information are despread at the receiver with receiver provided identical direct-sequence codes. The digital clock timing is generated from the receiver's pseudo random sequence generator. Bit timing equals CB*8, nibble timing equals 4*CB, and byte timing equals CB.
