摘要:
Apparatus for detecting the closure of a subscriber's telephone line in the presence of an alternating ringing voltage superimposed on a direct voltage comprises circuitry for producing a unidirectional current from the combined alternating and direct voltages. When the line is open no direct current will flow and hence the peak value of successive half cycles will be equal whereas when the loop is closed and direct current flows the peak values of successive peaks will be different. A capacitor (26) is charged by a voltage (U.sub.1), which is proportional to the combined voltage, through a transistor (24), provided that the voltage (U.sub.1) is greater than the voltage across the capacitor, and discharged through a resistor (27). The time constant of the discharge circuit is selected so that when the line is looped the smaller peak is lower than the voltage to which the capacitor is discharged and hence charging current flows into capacitor (26) on alternate peaks of the voltage (U.sub.1) only. The intervals between pulses of charging current are determined by a comparator (33) which provides an output (S) which indicates whether the subscriber's line is closed.

In this subscriber line interface circuit which comprises a pair of amplifiers whose outputs are connected to the subscriber's line, the input terminals of these amplifiers receive by means of negative feedback voltages having opposite phases depending on the transversal current I produced by the line interface circuit and independent of the longitudinal currents I accidentally produced on the subscriber's line. The two load impedances, which are connected between the supply terminals of the amplifiers and the terminals of a d.c. voltage supply source are controlled by means of their control terminals by voltages which have the same characteristics as the voltages applied to the input terminals of the amplifiers but which in addition have been shifted with a certain shift voltage V.sub.z. Consequently, the amplifiers of the line interface circuit operate completely independent of the longitudinal currents.

"Hands free" telephone sets in which there is connected in parallel with the terminals (A) and (B) of a first path (C.sub.1) comprising the coupling circuit of the telephone set in series with a controllable amplifier (11) of the receiving path (6), a second path (C.sub.2) comprising a controllable amplifier (12) which is controlled by a linear regulator (13) which keeps its output signal constant. The gains of the two amplifiers (11) and (12) respond to each other. A device is provided so as to ensure that the gain in the second path remains higher than the gain in the first path. A third controllable amplifier (5) is provided between the microphone (4) and the input terminal (A) which is used in common by the first and second paths; the said means (14) are adjusted in such a way that the electro-acoustic loop which is closed by the second path (C.sub.2) is permanently the source of non-annoying oscillations. By inducing a gain variation of the second amplifier (6) a gain variation in the opposite sense is produced in the receiving path, it being possible for these two variations to have accurately the same amplitudes.

An echo canceller designed to cancel an echo signal [g(t)] generated in a send path (7) by a signal [f(t)] applied to a receive path (1) contains a subtractor (9) whose positive terminal receives a signal derived from the echo signal and whose negative terminal receives the output signal from a transversal filter (10) provided with means (12) for adjusting the filter coefficients in such a way that the component due to the echo signal is cancelled at the output of the subtractor (9).This echo canceller comprises a delta encoder (14) for encoding at a sampling rate 1/T the signal f(t) entering the receive path (1) and for supplying at the input of the transversal filter (10) a delta-encoded signal (.DELTA.F.sub.n), a circuit (22) for forming at the sampling rate 1/T the difference signal (d.sub.n) between two consecutive samples of the signal entering the send path (7) and for applying this signal to the positive terminal of the subtractor (9), and finally an integrator (13) connected to the output of the subtractor (9) and supplying the output signal of the send path (7).
摘要:
Circuitry for avoiding sustained oscillations in a closed-loop system, particularly a loud-speaking telephone set. The object is to avoid sustained annoying oscillations in a looped system, such as a looped electro-acoustic system or a control system. The circuitry comprises a variable-gain amplifier (11) incorporated in a first path (C.sub.1) which forms part of the loop. Connected between the input terminal (A) and the output terminal (B) of the said first path is a second path (C.sub.2) having at least one part which is separate from the first path. A device is provided to ensure that the gain in the second path remains higher than the gain in the first path in the overall frequency band where the oscillations are liable to be produced. A signal (W) formed in the part of the second path which is separate from the first path is applied to the input of a linear regulator 13, which controls the variable-gain amplifier (11) of the first path and a variable-gain amplifier (12) of the second path so as to keep the signal at the input of the regulator (13) constant for a certain value of the signal (W) formed in the second path.

Two time division multiplex switches connected to the ends of a time-division multiplex bus are controlled so that they are closed during a periodically repeated time interval. Connected to the terminals of each two-wire line circuit is a capacitor and a switch, which is synchronously controlled with the time-division multiplex switches so that during each time interval the capacitor is charged to a voltage present on the time-division multiplex bus and that during the successive time intervals the discharge time constant of the capacitor is so long that the voltage of the electrodes of the capacitor remains substantially constant. The voltage is connected across the impedance of the corresponding two-wire line circuit.

摘要:
A current mirror circuit for weighting a plurality of input currents and for forming their sum, the weighting coefficients of the input currents each being determined by the ratio between the value of first resistors present between an input terminal and a power supply terminal, and the value of a second resistor. Such circuits are suitable for use in subscriber line interface circuits in which the weighted sum is to be formed of the currents entering and leaving the subscriber's line with a precise adjustment of the weighting coefficients.
摘要:
For feeding a telephone subscriber's line without the use of a transformer, this junctor comprises a symmetrical amplifier whose two input terminals receive two negative feedback voltages derived from a weighted sum current of the currents entering and leaving the subscriber's line. To form this weighted sum current, use is made of a current mirror whose summing and input terminals are connected respectively to one terminal of the supply source and to the corresponding supply terminal of the amplifier, and a voltage divider connected between the output of the current mirror and the other terminal of the supply source and whose intermediate terminal is connected to the other supply terminal of the amplifier. The voltage ratio of the voltage divider is equal to the current ratio of the current mirror. The voltage at the ends of the voltage divider is applied to a voltage follower which is regulated to provide the weighted sum current with the desired amplitude.
