    摘要: The present invention relates to a linear, class A FET amplifier circuit capable of providing linear amplifier of input signals with a time-varying envelope function. An envelope detector (12) is responsive to an input signal (v.sub.i (t)) for extracting the envelope signal (V.sub.i (t)) therefrom. A gate controller (16) subsequently adds the envelope signal to a predetermined gate bias voltage (E.sub.G) and applies the sum (E.sub.G (t)) as the "d-c" gate input to the FET amplifier (14). Therefore, the gate bias voltage is dynamically controlled by the envelope of the input signal, resulting in a significant improvement in the power-added efficiency (.eta..sub.added) over prior art class A FET amplifiers.

    摘要: An optical equalization receiver for countering the effects of delay distortion is realized by utilizing dynamically controllable Fabry-Perot etalon structures. By dynamically adjusting the frequency response of an etalon that is in a feedback loop configuration, the associated delay characteristic of the etalon may be used to counter the effects of delay distortion, thereby allowing higher transmission rates and transmission distances to be achieved. In one exemplary embodiment, an optical receiver comprising a reflective Fabry-Perot etalon and a piezoelectric transducer is used in a feedback loop configuration wherein a feedback control circuit monitors an output signal from the etalon for generating a control signal representing the amount of delay needed to compensate for distortion in an optical signal incident on the etalon. Specifically, the control signal causes a change in the optical path length of the etalon that results in a shift in its frequency response for producing a delay substantially equal and opposite to the associated delay distortion.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a N.times.N single-mode optical coupler employing evanescent wave coupling between mutually adjacent optical waveguides sufficiently close to one another to facilitate coupling among all the waveguides. An optical signal of a narrow frequency band, e.g. appreciably less than 100 gigahertz, introduced to an input port of one of the waveguides is found to be nonuniformly distributed among the output ports of the coupler. A first embodiment uses the nonuniform distributions of narrowband optical signals to the output ports of the coupler to enable the present invention to be used as essentially a selective switching device. A second embodiment introduces one or more predetermined broadband optical signals to one or more input ports of the coupler to produce an appreciably uniform power distribution among the output ports of the coupler. A third embodiment uses electrooptic or magnetooptic waveguides and the application of a high-frequency, continuously changing magnitude, oscillatory electric or magnetic field, respectively, throughout the coupling region of the waveguides to produce a substantially uniform power distribution among the output ports of the coupler for a narrowband optical signal applied to an input port of the coupler.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a technique for achieving cross-polarization interference (CPI) cancellation with or without equalization in a digital-radio, space-diversity communication system. More particularly, a present receiver includes a pair of spaced-apart diversity antennas, where each antenna is capable of receiving orthogonally polarized signals, e.g., Vertical and Horizontal polarizations, from a remote transmitter. The received orthogonally polarized signals from each antenna are separated and coupled to separate inputs of a separate cross-polarization canceler, where each canceler includes two straight-through and two cross-over paths including a separate complex gain multiplier disposed in each path. The correspondingly orthogonally polarized output signals from each of the cancelers are added to produce a first and a second orthogonally polarized overall canceler arrangement output signal. Power measurements are taken of the two overall output signals during predetermined periods of time to produce control signals in a Control and Dither means for appropriately adjusting the complex gain multipliers in each canceler and substantially cancel CPI while providing equalization where desired. Additionally, control signals can also be generated for transmission back to the remote transmitter for appropriately adjusting a canceler therein when CPI cancellation including a second order in frequency is desired.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an N-way non-hybrid power combiner arrangement for microwave amplifiers. In operation, sensing means (19.sub.1, 19.sub.2, . . . , 19.sub.N) are coupled in a one-to-one relationship with the individual amplifiers (12.sub.1, 12.sub.2, . . . , 12.sub.N) to monitor amplifier performance and sense amplifier failure. In one embodiment of the present invention, shorting devices (20.sub.1, 20.sub.2, . . . , 20.sub.N) are disposed adjacent to the outputs of the individual amplifiers and coupled to the associated sensing means in a one-to-one relationship. In an alternative embodiment, open-circuiting devices (30.sub.1, 30.sub.2, . . . , 30.sub.N) are disposed at a predetermined distance from the amplifier outputs along the transmission lines (24.sub.1, 24.sub.2, . . . , 24.sub.N) and coupled to their respective sensing means. Upon identifying amplifier failure, the sensing means coupled to that particular amplifier activates either its associated short-circuiting or open-circuiting device, which in turn uncouples the failed amplifier and the transmission line associated therewith.
