    摘要: The present invention is an integrated antenna assembly which allows for integration of a first radio system and a second radio system with the integrated antenna assembly. The integrated antenna assembly may include a coupler for providing sufficient isolation between the first radio system (ex.—a vertical polarization system) and the second radio system (ex.—a horizontal polarization system). The integrated antenna assembly may further include a common mode choke connected between a first antenna element and a second antenna element of the integrated antenna assembly. The coupler may produce a common mode based on signals received from the vertical polarization system and may also produce a differential mode based on signals received from the horizontal polarization system. The common mode choke may be configured for: preventing transmission of common mode currents from the first antenna element to the second antenna element; and being transparent to differential mode current flow.

    摘要: The present invention is a system and method for detecting devices with receivers, such as explosive devices with receivers used to remotely detonate the explosive devices. The system for detecting devices may include a transmitter which transmits a signal causing saturation of a device whereby harmonic content is emitted by the device. Receipt of an emitted harmonic signal which is coherent to the transmitted signal may indicate the presence of a device. A distance between the system and the detected device may be determined by modulating a frequency of the transmitted signal and measuring the time period between transmission of the signal and receipt of a harmonic signal. Additionally, direction information may be determined which may allow identification of a location of the device based upon the distance information and direction information.

    摘要: A phase locked loop with fast tune time and low phase noise contains a fast filter and a slow filter connected to a phase detector. The slow filter filters an error signal with a narrow bandwidth and provides a slow filter tune voltage. An integrator is connected to the slow filter for integrating the slow filter tune voltage and providing a tune voltage to a VCO. The integrator has a capacitor and operational amplifier. The fast filter filters and amplifies the error signal with a wide bandwidth and high gain to provide a fast filter tune voltage. A diode is connected to the fast filter output and to a non-inverting input of the operational amplifier. The diode is forward biased when the fast filter tune voltage is sufficient thereby causing an inverting input of the operational amplifier to change to the same level to rapidly change capacitor charge.

    摘要: An antenna having at least a directional mode of operation is mounted onto an aircraft for transmission of avionics waveforms. An orientating module minimizes the power requirements of the antenna by directing an orientation of transmission at least substantially toward a receiver. A processor is coupled with the orientating module for controlling the orientation of transmission. Control programming operates the processor to determine the orientation of transmission and activate the orientating module to direct the antenna to transmit in the determined orientation.

The sampling voltage controlled oscillator of the present invention may include a voltage controlled oscillator coupled with sample and hold circuitry. The voltage controlled oscillator frequency of the sampling voltage controlled oscillator may be a lower frequency whereby the voltage controlled oscillator frequency is sampled by the sample and hold circuitry to derive a higher frequency signal.

    摘要: A radio has a tunable bandpass filter that is tuned by apparatus within the radio. A reference generator generates a reference signal for use in tuning the tunable bandpass filter. The tunable bandpass filter receives the reference signal and provides a filter output signal. A digital signal processing and control processor is connected to the tunable bandpass filter to receive the filter output signal. The digital signal processing and control processor has a phase comparison function that provides a phase error metric from the filter output signal. The digital signal processing and control processor tunes the tunable bandpass filter to provide a desired phase error metric signal thereby tuning the tunable bandpass filter to the desired center frequency. The digital signal processing and control processor stores tunable filter parameters for the desired center frequency. The tuning process may be repeated for several desired center frequencies of the tunable bandpass filter.
