A sampled speech compression and expansion system, for two-dimensional prssing of speech or other type of audio signal, comprises transmit/encode apparatus and receive/decode apparatus.The transmit/encode apparatus comprises a low-pass filter, adapted to receive an input signal, for passing through low-frequency analog signals. A converter is connected to the low-pass filter for converting the analog signal into a digital signal. A buffer memory, whose input is connected to the converting means, stores the digitized signals.A correlator, having inputs from the A/D converter and the buffer memory, correlates the digital signal received directly from the converter with a delayed signal from the buffer memory. An "interval-select" circuit, whose input is connected to the output of the correlator, uses the autocorrelation value as a basis for comparison with subsequent peaks in the correlation value which are greater than a specified fraction of the autocorrelation value. The interval-select circuit has an output which is connected to the buffer memory, the value of the fractional peaks and their timing being stored in the buffer memory.A transform circuit, whose input is connected to the buffer memory, performs an even discrete cosine transform (EDCT) of the stored signal. A first modulator, whose input is connected to the output of the EDCT means, differentially pulse code modulates (DPCM) its input signal. A second modulator, whose input is connected to the output of the interval select circuit, differentially pulse code modulates its input signal. A multiplexer, having an input connected to the output of the first and second modulating means, combines the two differentially pulse code modulated signals. A receiver/decoder has circuits which perform an inverse function to those of the transmitter/coder and are arranged in inverse order, from input to output, to those of the transmitter/coder.

A charge-coupled device (CCD) analog and digital correlator comprises identical modules, each of which is a simple analog CCD correlator with digital input and output. Circuits are included:(1) for injecting charges proportional to the voltage sequences s(n) and r(n), where s(n) refers to the input signal, and r(n) relates to a reference signal, against which the input signal is correlated;(2) for non-destructively sensing and tapping each sample s(n) and r(n);(3) for forming the summation s(n)+r(n);(4) and finally for squaring s(n), r(n), and [s(n)+r(n)] in simple, floating gate MOSFET amplifiers. The amplifiers operate in their saturation region, and have outputs proportional to s.sup.2 (n), r.sup.2 (n), and [s(n)+r(n)].sup.2, which are then fed into a differential amplifier to produce s(n)r(n).

A frequency synthesizer, for use with a means for generating two sequences of electrical pulses, one sequence having a delay with respect to the other, comprises a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device, adapted to receive one of the sequences of electrical pulses from the generating means. The SAW device comprises a substrate, on the surface of which is disposed a first set of interdigitated electrodes. The electrodes receive the electrical pulses and tranduce them to acoustic waves, which traverse the surface of the substrate. The lengths of the electrodes are configured as a function of m, where m is defined by the relation m = R.sup.n mod P, where P is a prime number, R is a primitive root of P, and 1.ltoreq.n.ltoreq.P-1. A second set of interdigitated electrodes, approximately N-1 in number, is also disposed on the surface of the substrate, the electrodes of the first and second sets being parallel. The second set of electrodes is so disposed as to receive the acoustic waves generated by the first set of electrodes, and transduce them back to electrical signals, which are conducted on a set of leads connected to the electrodes. Means, adapted to receive pulses from the electrical pulse generating means, selectively receives the electrical signals from the second set of electrodes. The receiving means has as an output a signal whose frequency is determined by the order in which the signals are received from the second set of electrodes.

摘要:
A sonar system that includes a new comb-like waveform constructed by modulating the tines of a comb spectrum according to a set of Hermite functions defining a Hermite Function Space (HFS), and a processing method that reduces the sidelobes of the ambiguity function associated with the normally-processed HFS comb waveform. Noise-limited performance remains high, because the waveform is designed to be power-efficient; range ambiguity is superior to the highly-rated sinusoidal frequency-modulation (SFM) waveform; and reverberation-limited performance is equal to or better than that offered by any other waveform designed for this purpose. The full Doppler sensitivity normally associated with pulsed CW can be realized by the application to HFS signals of the constrained, regularized deconvolution method of this invention. The deconvolutionally-processed Hermite-function comb waveform offers better reverberation-limited performance than does the triplet-pair comb waveform or any of its predecessors, while maintaining a noise-limited performance equal to the best of these.
摘要:
An automatic frequency-hop controller for a surface acoustic wave (SAW) shesizer is used with a means for generating two chirp signals, one having a delay with respect to the other. It comprises a SAW device, adapted to receive the chirp signals. The SAW device comprises a substrate and a pair of sets of interdigitated electrodes, disposed on the surface of the substrate, one set at each end, the electrodes receiving the electrical chirp signals or corresponding impulse signals. Another set of interdigitated electrodes, which are output electrodes, are also disposed on the surface of the substrate, the electrodes of all sets being parallel. The output set of electrodes are so disposed as to receive the acoustic waves generated by the pair of sets of electrodes, and transduce them back to electrical signals. For the case when quadrature summation is performed by offset acoustic delays on the substrate, the pair of sets of electrodes and the output set of electrodes are so disposed with respect to each other that the signal received from the top parts of the output set of electrodes has a phase shift of 90.degree., at a frequency f.sub.c, with respect to the phase shift of the signal received from the bottom parts of the output electrodes.The controller further comprises means connected to the output set of electrodes, which selectively controls/mixes the transmission of the electrical signals received from the output set of electrodes. The controlling/mixing means has the capability of transmitting signals from the output set in any sequence, the frequency of the output signal being determined by the particular signal path which is activated.Another embodiment of the invention includes the means for generating the two chirp signals.
摘要:
A carrier-compatible device for computing the discrete Fourier transform of an input signal, using the chirp-Z transform (CZT) algorithm, comprising means for connecting to a real and imaginary part of an input signal g.sub.k. A pulse generator generates a sequence of very short pulses. A surface acoustic wave (SAW) chirp generator, whose input is connected to the output of the pulse generator, generates cosine chirp signals and sine chirp signals. Four input mixers have as their two inputs a real or imaginary part of the signal g.sub.k and a sine or cosine chirp signal from the SAW chirp generator. First and second summers have as their two inputs the outputs from two of the input mixers. A SAW chirp filter, whose two inputs are the outputs of the summers, filters out the higher components from the input signal and passes the lower components. Third and fourth summers are connected to the SAW chirp filter, whose two inputs are components from the SAW chirp filter. First and second delay lines, whose inputs are connected to the output of the sine or cosine SAW chirp generator, delay their input signals an amount of time such that their output signals are coincident in time with the output signals from the summers. Four output mixers have as their inputs the output from the first or second delay lines and the output of the third or fourth summer. Fifth and sixth summers have as their two inputs the positive or negative components from two of the four output mixers. First and second low-pass filters have as their input the output of the fifth or sixth summer, and their output comprising the real or imaginary part of a complex number G.sub.k at zero frequency.

摘要:
An acoustic communication method and system are disclosed for transmitting information through a well-bore drill string by using the acoustic noise inherently generated in the drill string by drilling operations as a "carrier" propagated therealong to be modulated by the information to be transmitted. In the drilling of wells, the action of the drill tool on the bottom of the bore hole creates acoustic noise within the drill string. Other suitable sources of "noise" are often present during "drilling operations", as broadly defined, even while bore drilling, as such, is suspended. This noise usually consists both of wide-band continuous acoustic energy and of narrow spectral lines of acoustic energy and is usually present in a variety of acoustic modes such as longitudinal and torsional acoustic waves. The detailed characteristic of this acoustic noise depends on the type of drill tool used, the drilling speed and the type of formation being drilled.When this inherently generated noise is modulated by an information containing signal at a signal-transmitting station, acoustic communication of information is possible while drilling is in progress, or, in some cases, while drilling as such is suspended. The communication occurs between the transmitting station and a signal-receiving station spaced along the drill string, using the intervening length of drill string between the signal-transmitting and signal-receiving stations as an acoustic transmission channel.

摘要:
An apparatus multiplies two sequences of digital numbers a.sub.i and b.su, which may represent signal pulses of various amplitudes. A first plurality of t read-only memories (ROMs), have a common input adapted to receive the sequence of numbers a.sub.i, each ROM coding the numbers a.sub.i into a.sub.j,i =a.sub.j modulo m.sub.i, 0.ltoreq.a.sub.j,i .ltoreq.m.sub.i -1. A first plurality of t means, extend the digital signal with zero values, the number of zeroes being determined by the length N of the sequences being convolved. A first plurality of t D/A converters, convert the digital quantity received from the extender into its corresponding analog value.Similar ROMs, extending means, and D/A converters process the sequence numbers b.sub.i.A plurality of t means convolve two input analog signals, one from each of the first and second D/A converters, the output of each convolving means being an analog signal, approximately equal to the convolution (a.sub.j,i) * (b.sub.j,i) modulo m.sub.i. A plurality of t A/D converters, convert the analog signal back to digital form. A plurality of t means multiply by an integer u.sub.i. The integer u.sub.i is defined by the relationship u.sub.i =1 mod m; for j=i and u.sub.j =0 and m.sub.j for j.noteq.i, where the m.sub.i represent integers and the u.sub.i represent integers pairwise relatively prime. Means are provided for summing the outputs of the multiplying means. Further means reduce the output of the summing means to a value between 0.ltoreq.m(=m.sub.i, m.sub.2, . . . , m.sub.t) -1 congruent to the output of the summing means modulo.
