摘要:
A data transmitting-receiving system including both a transmitter part and a receiver part. The transmitter part transmits a modulation signal on one of the vertically and horizontally polarized waves and, at the same time, transmits a carrier on the other of the waves. The modulation signal on one of the waves is received and demodulated by the receiver part with the carrier on the other of the waves also received by the receiver part.

A baseband discriminator decodes a pair of trigonometric transform function signals, sin f(t) and cos f(t), to provide an original audio signal f(t) by first deriving the derivative of the audio signal from the pair of trigonometric signals and integrating that derivative. The discriminator is used in a new system of SSB transmission termed "transform modulation" and also in FM transmission.

A single carrier is amplitude-modulated by a signal which is a transform (as the sine function) of the audio signal, and one set of sidebands is removed. In a receiver, the signal can be recovered by first deriving the Hilbert transform of the sine transform, and multiplying it by the signum of the derivative of the original audio signal to obtain the cosine transform. The sine and cosine transforms are then decoded to obtain the original audio signal. A circuit for deriving the signum of the derivative of a signal is disclosed.

A method and a circuit for transmitting or storing a wide-band signal in several, narrow-band channels, wherein frequency modulation and demodulation occur in the wideband channel. The uniformity of the transmission characteristics of the entire system is improved by obviating the necessity for multiple modulators and demodulators in the individual transmission channels.

An apparatus for encoding and decoding musical signals in digital form employs conversion to the frequency domain. Discrete Fourier transform coefficients are calculated from time domain digital data at selected frequencies which are organized in sets of octavely related frequencies. Selecting frequencies in this manner greatly reduces the data rate by eliminating coefficients for many higher frequencies without a great loss of fidelity because the provision of a predetermined number of frequencies in each octave approximates the tonal response of the human ear. A further refinement is selection of frequencies to correspond to the frequencies of musical notes where the greatest energy can be expected. The complex number discrete Fourier transform coefficients can be converted to polar form with logarithmic magnitude values resulting in a further data rate reduction because the human ear is responsive only to logarithmic amplitude and because the human ear is relatively insensitive to phase angle enabling fewer bits to be used to represent the angular part without loss of fidelity. A digital filter can be easily implemented by manipulation of the magnitude part of the discrete Fourier transform coefficients.

Simulcast distortion in a receiver when using a same-frequency repeater is minimized by applying double modulation to a signal that is broadcast to the same-frequency repeater. A voice signal is applied without delay as AM on a carrier to a modulation index of up to 30%, and the same signal is also applied as FM on the same carrier with a time delay equal to the time delay in the same-frequency repeater. The same-frequency repeater detects the AM and applies the detected signal as FM on a carrier that is rebroadcast. Received FM signals are thus delayed by substantially the same amount whether they are received from the original broadcast or the same-frequency repeater.
摘要:
A method and apparatus to reduce the redundancy for the transmission or storage of picture signals using transforms. The basis coefficients are arranged in a sequence and thereafter quantized in the customary manner. The basis coefficients obtained from the transformation are sequentially examined to see if they exceed a predetermined value, for example the average value across the entire picture. The number of times the value is exceeded is counted. If, in a sequence class, the number of coefficients exceeding the predetermined value is more than half the total number in the sequence class then the associated sequences are quantized with a larger number of bits. For this purpose, activity classes are formed which indicate which sequences in the picture are active and the characteristic of the quantizer is controlled by this class information.

Apparatus for baseline restoration in an AC-coupled signal is comprised of a differentiation circuit followed by an integration circuit to receive the signal and continually restore its DC reference. Both circuits are initially set to the DC reference, and reset after a lapse of some predetermined period based upon the worst case signal-to-noise ratio anticipated for the system. Transmission is terminated, or interrupted, before resetting. A header may be used to signal resumption of transmission to the apparatus in an asynchronous receiving mode. In a synchronous receiving mode, the transmission is simply interrupted at each time the apparatus is reset.

Power saving means is shown for use with a converter circuit in a telephone switching installation. The converter circuit comprises an analog-to-digital converter and a digital-to-analog converter. The voltage supply for the converter circuit is switched on only upon the appearance of analog signals to be converted into digital signals or digital signals to be converted into analog signals.

Parallel data transmission system in which the data signals are converted to multilevel digital signals and transmitted through the channels of a frequency division multiplex system. To compensate for the delays between the data signals received in the various channels of the multiplex, a pilot signal is transmitted in each channel in the form of a signal which only has a real component. At the receiver side a filter circuit is used which comprises a first fixed coefficient part at whose input the data signal is multiplied by a component of the received pilot signal and a second part having two variable coefficients which are derived from the two components of the received pilot signal.
