A telemeter for telemetry of diagnostic messages from a mobile asset to a remote station comprises a processor coupled to the output of one or more condition sensors. The processor converts the output of the condition sensors to a diagnostic message, and provides the diagnostic message at a processor output. A transmitter is coupled to the processor output. The transmitter is adapted to transmit the diagnostic messages in the Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) frequency band. An exemplary embodiment of a telemetry system of the invention comprises a telemeter adapted to transmit diagnostic messages in the ISM frequency band, and a remote station including a receiver for receiving the diagnostic messages in the ISM band.

A method of coding and compressing telemetry data makes use of the fact that the telemetry frames are typically highly correlated at a distance, .delta., corresponding to commutation or data periodicities. The existence of such periodicity is used to render a portion of each frame to zeros. The next steps are to search for and remove correlations between the bits in a set of frames, denoted {F.sub.i *}. The compression algorithm implementing the method according to the invention has four sub-steps; Data preconditioning, Compression and coding of first frame, F.sub.1, Compression and coding of frames 2-.delta., F.sub.1 -F.sub..delta., and Compression and coding of F.sub..delta.+1 and on, the steady-state mode.

A system for filtering digital television signals is provided. The system comprises a generator for providing a first data sequence to a private data packetizer, and a transmitter for transmitting the packetized first data sequence in a data channel of a digital television signal. The system further includes a receiver for receiving the digital television signal and recovering the first data sequence. The receiver includes a channel estimator for providing an estimate of channel characteristics, such as estimated channel impulse estimate and estimated noise variance. The receiver further includes an adaptive equalizer filter having an input for receiving the digital television signal and an input for receiving adaptive filter coefficients. The receiver further includes a coefficient processor for calculating adaptive filter coefficients based on the channel estimate, and providing the adaptive filter coefficients to the adaptive equalizer filter. The digital television signal is thus filtered to remove undesired channel effects.

Characteristics of the radio channel are used to establish pseudorandom sequences for use in communicating information. These characteristics are the short-term reciprocity and rapid spatial decorrelation of phase of the radio channel. Due to the reciprocal nature of these radio channel characteristics, the transceivers which are communicating via the radio channel will generally both determine the same sequence. Although the determined sequences are not always sufficiently random for use in pseudorandom functions, a randomness tester can be provided to discard those sequences which are not sufficiently random. Exemplary pseudorandom communication functions include the selection of a spreading sequence in CDMA systems and the selection of a hopping sequence in a TDMA or CDMA system.

In a time division multiple access spacecraft communication system, each ground station determines when to send its information packets to arrive at the spacecraft at the beginning of a time slot. The calculation is based upon knowledge of the location of the spacecraft. A master ground station determines the location of the spacecraft by the use of the propagation delays between the various ground stations (including itself) and the spacecraft, together with knowledge of the locations of the ground stations. The spacecraft location is then transmitted back to the various ground stations. The determination of propagation delay by each ground station is performed in two major steps. The first step determines coarse time delay to within one bit interval by repeatedly transmitting a multibit unique word to the spacecraft, and counting bits until the next unique word is received from the spacecraft. To determine fine propagation delay, a high-frequency clock signal is counted from the time of transmission of each bit edge until the reception of the next bit edge. The sum of the coarse and fine delays, together with a plurality of frame intervals, establishes the range to the spacecraft.

A system for determining a maximum length digital sequence is constructed by selecting a Mersenne Prime integer and a primitive polynomial having an ORDER equal to the Mersenne Prime integer. An arbitrarily selected mask m is either provided to the transmitter and receiver, or constructed, at either, or both. The mask is used to create a decimated M sequence, and work backwards to define a recursion rule vector r which is associated with another primitive polynomial corresponding to the decimated M sequence. This recursion rule vector r is used to create a new feedback shift register which produces a maximum length sequence. An initialization vector i is provided to the transmitter and receiver and used as an initial load of the shift register. A selected stage of this register is exclusive-ORed ("XORed") with each bit of a plaintext message to be sent to result in cipher text. At the receiver, the same process is performed with the same mask m, and initialization vector i, to create the same recursion rule vector r, and shift register. The same stage of this shift register is then XORed with the received ciphertext message to result in the original plaintext message.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for establishing a key sequence for secure communication through a communication channel between a first transceiver and a second transceiver. Each transceiver transmits to the other transceiver a plurality of tones having predetermined phases and frequencies. Each transceiver transmits back to the other transceiver, without substantial change, the plurality of tones transmitted by the other transceiver. The transceivers determine a key based on the differences in the phases of transmitted and received plurality of tones.

Techniques are provided for using a multi-stage actuator to actuate one or more optical components of an optical head. The multi-stage actuator includes a cross-layer displacement component which actuates an optical component to change the beam focus in a displacement range corresponding to the thickness of the data layers in a holographic disk, such that a beam is impinged on the target data layer. The multi-stage actuator also includes a intra-layer focusing component which actuates the optical component in a smaller range to focus the beam on the target data position. The cross-layer displacement component and the intra-layer focusing component may each include more than one actuator. In some embodiments, the focusing component also actuates the optical component in a tilting motion to compensate for movement or imperfections of the disk during a reading or recording process.
