    摘要: An amplifier (1) used with a pulse width modulated signal which improves the efficiency of a low level input signal comprises two or more switching devices (7,9) with common source/drain or emitter/collector connections. The gates or the bases of the devices are independently driven to optimize the efficiency of the various Rds (on) resistance values of the transistors (61, 63, 65, 89, 91, 93) used in the devices. The amplifier is operated so that during the highest output levels, select switching devices (61, 63, 65) are utilized to reduce in series resistance with the load (13). As output power decreases, devices (89, 91, 93) with higher Rds (on) resistance values are activated by a control signal which greatly improves DC to DC conversion efficiency with improved output voltage resolution, dynamic range and reduced electromagnetic interference potential.

    摘要: An audio amplifier (100) switches between a pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) mode to an analog mode when required in order to reduce unwanted EMI when the signals being reproduced fall within a predetermined threshold range such as when reproducing low amplitude signals. Amplifier (100) includes both a pulsewidth-modulator (114) and a low-level analog amplifier (126) coupled to a speaker bridge circuit. When controller (106) determines that the input signal (102) is at a predetermined level, controller (106) selectively applies to the load (164) an analog signal instead of the PWM signal, this provides for improved dynamic range and reduced amplifier produced EMI.

    摘要: The communication device (100) operates in full duplex mode by allowing its transmitter (106) to periodically interrupt transmission to allow for a second communication device (702) to send its request-to-transmit signal. This signal is received by the receiver (108) and coupled to a controller (110). The controller (110) dynamically reduces the rate at which it codes the voice in response to the activity on the channel. The coded signal is then coupled to the transmitter (108) for transmission. A sync and control header is included at the beginning of each transmission to allow the two communication devices (100 and 702) to remain in sync and to be aware of the coding rate each of the communication devices (100 and 702) has employed in its most recent transmission. With the two communication devices (100 and 702) operating at dynamically adjusted voice coding rates, each occupies the channel for a portion of time in each frame commensurate with the information flow, thereby providing for full duplex operation.

    摘要: Pulsewidth-modulated amplifier (100) includes a controller (102) which provides for a set of compensated signals (114, 158 and 160). The compensated signals are used for driving a speaker (136). Controller (100) includes a storage area for storing distortion characteristics for the amplifier for a predetermined operational frequency range. The compensated drive signals (114, 158 and 160) help compensate for the electrical non-linear distortions that occur in amplifier (100) and thereby help reduce the output distortion of amplifier (100).

    摘要: A decoder circuit is provided which employs digital sampling and correlation apparatus to detect the presence of a received tone signal exhibiting a predetermined frequency. Samples of received tone signals are taken and, in effect, multiplied by a substantially rectangular observation window which includes a bite interval of selected duration and location therein. A correlator correlates the windowed samples to detect samples corresponding to the predetermined frequency (main lobe frequency). A significant decrease in undesired side lobe response is thus achieved.

    摘要: A phase demodulator (101) is used for sensing the phase.sub.-- angle of a phasor represented by the I and Q signals by first producing the analog I and Q signals in a direct conversion receiver (104). A phase generator (106) is used to approximate the angle of the phasor as represented by the I and Q signals by scaling and comparing the magnitudes of the I and Q signals and making decisions based on their relative magnitudes. The scaling includes successive alteration of the magnitude of the I and Q signals.sub.-- depending on their relative magnitudes. A DSP (108) is used to receive this bit stream representation (302) of the phasor and recover the information signal.

    摘要: The accuracy of a required tone set, digitally synthesized by a microprocessor, is improved beyond the theoretical limit of the microprocessor circuitry by producing each tone at a frequency which is a sub-multiple of the desired frequency, then multiplying to provide the desired frequency. With the addition of a multiplier such as a doubler, a better choice of oscillator frequency becomes possible which further increases the tone frequency accuracy. The microprocessor can also reduce the start up time and the time between tones, eliminating delays in transmitting a series of coded tones.
