A circuit and method for correcting phase of a received phase modulated (PM) signal. The method uses k most recently received data bits, which alternate between in-phase I and quadrature Q bits, as an address for a lookup table 60. The lookup table outputs a phase figure 62 derived from a reconstructed waveform. When the most recent k bit is a Q bit, the complement 68 of the phase figure 62 is calculated to yield a phase correction. Otherwise, the phase figure is the phase correction, which is applied to adjust the phase of a delayed version of the received signal. The delayed, phase adjusted signal is then applied to correct the phase of a received signal. The circuit splits an input PM signal in parallel between a matched filter 54 and a delay block 76, 88. The matched filter output provides the input to a register 58 for storing the k data bits. The delay block holds the PM signal until it is input into a loop phase shifter 78 synchronously with the phase correction. The output of the loop phase filter is input, after filtering, to a primary phase shifter 52 that adjusts phase of a received PM signal.

An electron gun comprises a shell having distal and proximal ends, a cathode structure disposed within the shell and having an electron emitting surface, an anode physically coupled to the shell at the distal end and spaced a fixed distance from the emitting surface, and a plurality of leads adapted to apply a voltage to the cathode structure with respect to the anode sufficient to cause emission of the electrons from the emitting surface. The anode has an aperture for passage therethrough of the beam of electrons emitted by the emitting surface. A first insulator is disposed within the shell proximal to the cathode structure. The first insulator has plural apertures having respective sizes in relation to corresponding ones of the plurality of leads such that the plurality of leads pass therethrough without contacting the first insulator. The first insulator provides stand-off for the voltage between the anode and cathode. A second insulator is disposed with the shell proximal from the first insulator. The second insulator also has plural apertures permitting the plurality of leads to pass therethrough; however, the plurality of leads are tightly engaged within corresponding ones of the plural apertures of the second insulator to provide a vacuum barrier of the shell. A thermal choke is coupled between the first insulator and second insulator to provide an indirect thermal path therebetween.

A method and system for compensating digital data demodulation phase uncertainty is provided. The method includes the steps of identifying a phase reference quadrant, the phase reference quadrant having a phase reference axis and four quadrants, I, II, III, and IV; receiving known digital data; and forming a phase vector from the known digital data, determining which quadrant the phase vector is located in and rotating the phase vector to the phase reference quadrant if it is determined that the phase vector is not located in the phase reference quadrant. The last step generates a phase error signal proportional to the resulting angle by rotating the phase vector −45° and measuring the resulting angle between the phase vector and the phase reference axis.

A surveillance system for monitoring activity within at least the cabin portion of the aircraft in order to alert the flight crew within the cockpit of any emergency activity including, but not limited to, highjacking or terrorist activity. A video controller assembly is interconnected between a viewing assembly and a display assembly so as to distribute image data there between. The viewing assembly includes one or more cameras disposed to selectively capture images throughout the aircraft cabin interior and deliver the captured image data to the display assembly observable by the flight crew. Activation of the system is accomplished by controlled operation of one or more portable, wireless transmitters and at least one receiver which is operationally connected to the viewing assembly and the display assembly.

A method and system for open-loop acquisition of a pseudo-noise (PN) encoded QPSK burst signal is provided. The method includes the steps of determining a PN correlation accumulation (PNCA) threshold and a sync threshold. Searching for a burst signal synchronization by searching a burst preamble for a sync word exceeding the sync threshold. In response to detecting the sync word, performing a PNCA of at least 256 bits following the detected sync word and comparing the PNCA of the at least 256 bits with the PNCA threshold. The comparison further includes the step of verifying that the PNCA of the 256 bits following the detected sync word exceeds the PNCA threshold and then verifying sync word detection. Next, using the burst preamble an estimate of carrier signal frequency is determined; and using a subsequent burst preamble carrier signal frequency and carrier signal phase is determined.

An apparatus and method of determining a signal code. The method comprising steps of acquiring and correlating a signal with a first code sequence. In response to the correlation of the signal with a first code sequence a timing lock is achieved. Also in response to the signal correlation, an acknowledgement from a receiver of the signal to a transmitter of the signal is sent where upon the receiver and transmitter change to a second code sequence.

A chopper for an imaging system includes a frame and a sheet that have different coefficients of thermal expansion. The frame has a space within it, and has at least one opening that allows radiation to pass through the space. The sheet has structure which influences radiation passing through the sheet, and the sheet is movably disposed within the space in the frame, in a manner so that the sheet can expand and contract relative to the frame in a direction approximately parallel to the sheet. The frame prevents any significant movement of the sheet in a direction transverse to the sheet.
