摘要： A method for controlling code power levels of individual codes of a composite quadrature phase shift keyed (QPSK) signal. The method may involve obtaining a sample of the composite QPSK signal; separating the individual codes from the composite QPSK signal; analyzing the individual codes against corresponding commanded code power settings for the individual codes; and determining a code power correction signal needed for each of the individual codes needed to adjust a code power for each of the individual codes to match their corresponding commanded code power settings.

摘要： Circuits are disclosed for normalizing a device which has a current-controlled frequency response, such as a YIG or a TWM device, to a predetermined current-frequency (I-F) characteristic in order that a device equipped with such a circuit can be preadjusted for substitution in a system for a like device without realigning the system. The normalizing circuit is in parallel with the device, and is comprised of a transistor and a compensating current-sensing resistor in series with the transistor. A shunt compensating current, I.sub.C, through the transistor is set by a voltage on a potentiometer to offset the I-F characteristic of the composite device and circuit from that of the device to a predetermined level and also by a feedback control circuit connected to the compensating current-sensing resistor. The slope of the offset characteristic is then adjusted to a predetermined value by adjusting the gain of a feedback control circuit between the transistor and a resistor which senses a voltage, V.sub.S, proportional to the current, I.sub.T, which is the sum of the drive current, I.sub.Y, through the device and the shunted compensating current, I.sub.C, through the transistor.

摘要： A GPS transponder system incorporating a phase error monitoring and compensation subsystem. The phase error monitoring and compensation subsystem includes a demodulator subsystem that demodulates modulated carrier signals being output from each one of a pair of GPS transponders to obtain the navigation codes being generated by each of the transponders from their respective carrier signals. The navigation codes obtained from the modulated carrier signals are compared to separate navigation codes that are generated by a navigation data unit (NDU) of the system and supplied over a thermally stable signal transmission line. The signal transmission line has a known, fixed delay and is not affected by temperature changes that affect the modulated carrier signals. A phase comparator subsystem uses the comparison to generate needed error correction signals that are applied via phase shifters to each of the transponders. The error correction signals modify the modulated carrier signals to remove the influence caused by temperature variations that the transponders experience during operation.
