A CIRCUIT FOR GENERATING A SPECIAL SIGNAL FOR SYNCHRONIZING THE RECEIVERS OF A MASTER-REMOTE SYSTEM OF THE KIND USED FOR THE SUPERVISION AND CONTROL OF APPARATUS FROM A REMOTE LOCATION, AND IN WHICH THE INFORMATION SIGNALS USED FOR SUPERVISION AND CONTROL CONSIST OF TRAINS OF ELECTRICAL PULSES, ALL THE PULSES OF EACH TRAIN BEING OF THE SAME LENGTH. TWO SPECIAL PULSES ARE TRANSMITTED FOR SYNCHRONIZATION JUST PRIOR TO THE START OF EACH TRAIN OF INFORMATION PULSES. THE SPECIAL PULSES ARE OF PREDETERMINED POLARITY, AND ARE EACH ONE AND ONE-HALF TIMES AS LONG AS THE INFORMATION PULSES. THE CIRCUIT USES A COUNTER AND A SERIES OF FLIP-FLOPS AND GATES TO PRODUCE THE DESIRED SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS, AND ALSO TO DEFINE THE PROPER DURATIONS OF THE INFORMATION PULSES. IN ADDITION, A GATE ARRANGEMENT IS USED TO PRODUCE A SPECIAL START DATA PULSE AT A PREDETERMINED TIME AFTER THE SYNCHRONIZING PULSES ARE COMPLETED.

An apparatus includes an input port, an output port, a resistor, and a current amplifier. The current amplifier includes an input circuit and an output circuit. The resistor is coupled to the input port. The input circuit is coupled to the resistor and the output circuit. The output circuit is coupled to the output port, the input circuit and the output circuit. The input circuit and output circuit have substantially identical topologies. A method includes receiving an input voltage signal, converting the input voltage signal to a current signal, and processing the current signal to form a feedback signal and an output current signal that is a substantially linear representation of the input voltage signal.

In a radio receiver for receiving vestigial sideband (VSB) signals including symbol codes descriptive of digital signals, HDTV signals being exemplary of such VSB signals, a tuner provides for selecting one of channels at different locations in a frequency band used for transmitting such VSB signals. The tuner also includes mixers for performing plural conversion of the selected channel to a final intermediate-frequency signal, which is digitized by an analog-to-digital converter. A phase tracker, operative on narrow-bandpass filtered portions of the digitized final intermediate frequency signal centering on its carrier frequency, suppresses an imaginary portion of the final intermediate-frequency signal, arising from multipath distortion or from phase incoherency in local oscillations used during frequency conversion. A digital controlled oscillator in the phase tracker supplies digital descriptions of the carrier wave for the final intermediate-frequency signal to a synchronous detector, which synchronous detector detects the real portion of the digitized final intermediate-frequency signal in accordance with those digital descriptions of the carrier wave pair of all-pass digital filters, which exhibit a constant .pi./2 difference in phase response for the digitized bandpass signals and are designed based on Jacobian elliptic functions as described by C. M. Rader, are used in the phase tracker for generating the real and imaginary portions of the digitized final intermediate-frequency signal.

In a binary system, for example, the "0" and the "1" are rendered more equi-probable in the output pseudo-random sequences of a switch controlled in a pseudo-random way by feeding to the inputs of the switch input sequences which are two and two complementary, i.e. the sum of two simultaneous digits of two such sequences is always 1.

摘要:
A digital-to-analog converter of the type formed with a plurality of current source transistors arranged to carry different levels of current according to a predetermined weighting pattern, e.g., a binary weighting pattern. In the converter, a plurality of identically sized current source transistors carry the different levels of current and thus operate at different current densities with different base-to-emitter voltages subject to temperature drift. Stable emitter voltages, providing accurate levels of weighted current, are developed by means of resistances between the bases of successive current source transistors and a current source for developing across the interbase resistances a voltage linearly varying with absolute temperature, corresponding to the difference between base-to-emitter voltages of the successive current source transistors.The apparatus for generating a current linearly varying with absolute temperature is formed with first and second transistors forced to carry the same current at different current densities to produce different base-to-emitter voltages, and means such as an emitter resistor responsive to the difference in the base-to-emitter voltages for developing a current, corresponding to the difference in base-to-emitter voltages, which varies linearly with temperature.
