Abstract:
A frequency cancelling system is disclosed which improves reception of a communication signal which is transmitted at a communication frequency in the presence of an interference signal which occurs at the same communication frequency. The frequency cancelling system generates a reference signal at the communication frequency, and adjusts the reference signal to be opposite in phase and equal in amplitude to the interference signal. The reference signal and the communication signal are then combined to cancel the interference signal. In a preferred embodiment, the reference signal is generated from the same source as that from which the interference signal arises. Preferably, the interference signal is received during an interval in which the communication signal is not being transmitted, and the reference signal is adjusted to be opposite in phase and equal in amplitude to the interference signal during that interval.
Abstract:
A multimode radio communication terminal includes a tunable source of transmit and/or receive local oscillator signals for transmitting and/or receiving channels of different frequency bands in at least two radio communication systems. The terminal includes, downstream of the tunable source, a switchable frequency changer implementing a fixed frequency change and selectively insertable so that, the source responding directly to the requirements of one radio communication system, insertion of the frequency changer renders it capable of responding to the requirements of another radio communication system using different frequency bands. This is achieved by virtue of a particular change to the frequency produced by the tunable source, effected by the frequency changer.
Abstract:
Monostatic homodyne radar system, in particular for continuous wave operation, in which one input port of a balanced mixer (2) is connected to an oscillator (1) and another input port of the mixer is connected to an antenna (3). The mixer has a directional coupler with a 90.degree. phase difference between the coupling arms. The load impedances of the coupling arms have a reflection factor greater than 0.3, so that coupling of the power supplied from the oscillator to the antenna ensues, which coupling is sufficient for the radiation.
Abstract:
A demodulator for demodulating a binary frequency-modulated signal includes a demodulator with a quadrature tank circuit and a duty cycle monitor circuit. The quadrature tank circuit has a voltage-controllable resonant frequency for compensating for shifts in the carrier frequency of the incoming signal and shifts in the tank circuit component values so as to allow the use of a high-Q tank circuit and thereby maximize use of the incoming signal energy. The quadrature tank circuit is a reactive circuit (with both inductive and capacitive elements) which includes a varactor diode having a voltage-controllable capacitance. The duty cycle monitor circuit measures the duty cycle of the demodulated binary output from the demodulator, and provides a control voltage to the quadrature tank circuit for adjusting its center frequency of operation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus system for cancelling a leak-through signal component generated by an interfering transmitter from a received/leak-through signal comprising a multiplier for multiplying the received/leak-through signal by a reference signal provided from the interfering transmitter. The system further includes an integrator for integrating the output of the multiplier to generate an estimate of the gain and phase of the leak-through signal component. A gain and phase adjustor, responsive to the generated gain and phase estimates, is also included for adjusting the gain and phase of the reference signal to generate a cancellation signal that is a substantially gain and phase matched estimate of the leak-through signal. The generated cancellation signal is then subtracted from the received/leak-through signal to substantially cancel the leak-through signal component.
Abstract:
A bidirectional radio system for low cost, high through-put accumulation of data from a large number of site units. The site units are connected to remote radio transceivers in radio communication with a plurality of base stations. Accurate frequency synchronization allows multiple carriers within a 12.5 kHz FCC bandwidth. Frequency synchronization is achieved at low cost by transmitting a high accuracy carrier and clock signal at a base station, and using receiving circuitry a remote stations to extract the base clock signal and base carrier frequency and a phase-lock loop to stabilize the remote station carriers. The reception circuitry at a remote station provides independent carrier frequency and clock rate recovery, a phase-lock loop at baseband, and a coarse clock rate recovery circuit coupled to a fine clock rate recovery circuit. Remote station responses are time domain multiplexed. A base station receiver can decode a very short remote station response by scaling the response with the phase and amplitude of an initial segment of the response. Spatial reuse of carrier frequencies further increases the rate of data through-put.
Abstract:
An improved proximal cable-less communications system using at least two receivers is described. The system is significantly improved by utilizing an intentional signal path for the local oscillator signal to be radiated while maintaining the architecture of each receiver and the proximal cable-less communications system. The effectiveness of radiation can be increased by extending the length of the electrical interconnect which connects the local oscillator to the mixer. In addition, the effectiveness of radiation is increased by magnetically coupling the electrical interconnect which connects the local oscillator with the mixer with the electrical interconnect which connects the antenna and the mixer. By coupling the two electrical interconnect, the signal output by the local oscillator is induced on the electrical interconnect between the antenna and the mixer. The coupling is set such that the signal induced travels along the electrical interconnect and is radiated out of the antenna.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for a duplex communication system wherein a local station transmits a modulated signal at a nominal, fixed frequency f.sub.1 to a remote station which transmits, simultaneously, to the local station, a modulated signal at a nominal, fixed frequency f.sub.2, which frequency f.sub.2 is displaced from frequency f.sub.1, by a frequency .vertline.f.sub.2 =f.sub.1 .vertline. being the intermediate frequency of the receivers at both the first and second stations. Novel transmitter signal suppression is provided in the circuits of the local and remote stations so that a common transmit-receive antenna may be utilized at each station without swamping either receiver's front-end circuits on transmission and optimum conversion gain may be realized on reception.

Abstract:
A transceiver, adapted for use as either a master or a slave in a duplex pair, has a single, voltage-tunable, solid-state oscillator to provide the carrier frequency wave, a small portion of which is mixed with the received wave and applied therewith to a single ended mixer; an automatic gain-controlled loop cancels transmitter input modulation from the receiver output. The desired oscillator carrier frequency of the master transceiver is locked to a frequency within the pass band of an RF filter at the receiver input and separated from the center frequency of the filter by one-half the receiver IF frequency. The slave transceiver is first locked to a frequency within the pass band of the filter on the opposite side of its center frequency and separated therefrom by one-half the IF frequency (the slave thus offset from the master by their common IF frequency). Thereafter, upon sensing output from its IF amplifier (from the master), the slave is switched to operate in response to AFC developed by the received signal, such that the master and slave transceivers are locked together at frequencies differing by their common IF frequency. The RF filter also limits the signals to which the receiver can respond. An integrating amplifier provides demodulator and AFC filtering and, together with a bistable device, initial sweeping of the oscillator control voltage in respective directions depending on being in the master mode or the slave mode. Internal auxiliary modulation provides for pre-transmission transmitter modulation cancellation and frequency stability.
