    摘要: This invention enables voice energy to be distinguished from energy due to other sources such as telephone call progress signals. A portion of the audio spectrum is divided into a high and into a low frequency band and the energy content of these bands is examined. The audio energy of a signal is passed through a set of filters and compared. A frequency boundary crossing of an input signal subsequent to filtering is used to signify the receipt of a voice signal. By operating in this manner, voice, whose predominant frequency switches in a random fashion from being greater than to less than a cutoff frequency, can be distinguished from other signals either below or above the cutoff frequencies of the filters. The detection of voice energy is not begun until a predetermined threshold of energy has been received for a specified period of time. This specified period of time need not be continuous after a ringback signal is received. Subsequent to the receipt of a ringback signal, the voice detection mechanism will proceed as long as the total time above the threshold exceeds the specified time.

    摘要: Automatic gain control (AGC) is provided in a digital signal processor environment. A predetermined threshold value, a predetermined automatic gain control value, and a predetermined count threshold value are established and stored in a data memory associated with a signal processor. Each incoming signal sample that is received is multiplied by the AGC value with the product being temporarily stored in the data memory. The absolute value of the resulting product is taken and added to the predetermined threshold value. If the result of this operation results in a signal processor overflow, then the AGC value is reduced and stored back into the data memory. The adjustment period of the AGC value is chosen to be well under the allowable distortion time for speech, dual tone multi-frequency reception, and modem operation.

    摘要: A starloop communication network for intraestablishment communication in a multiterminal processing system includes a digital switch as its central terminal. In the basic mode, the switch is configured so that the input from each terminal is switched back to the next terminal forming a loop network. A central processor in the network need only service the output of the first terminal on the loop and the input from the last terminal. The digital switch includes a port connected to monitor activity on the loop. In the event of a failure, the monitor can determine the failing terminal in the loop by use of a binary search around the loop. The failing terminal will be detected by the monitor and automatically isolated from the loop by the digital switch. The communication network may also be configured to include a plurality of terminal devices of equal performance and intelligence, i.e. a plurality of central processors.

    摘要: A filter suppresses energy at time varying or ensemble varying frequencies. The filter comprises multiplier sections having sets of values which are dynamically varied during the receipt of time varying or ensemble varying energy. The variation of the values of the multiplier sections provides the suppression of energy at the time varying or ensemble varying frequencies. The sets of values for the multiplier sections are chosen such that the poles of such values lie within the unit circle of the z-plane locus. The location of the poles within the unit circle guarantees that the filter remain stable even though the multipliers may be located in a feedback path. In the preferred embodiment, the dynamically varying filter is used in a dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) receiver.

    摘要: In a time division multiple access (TDMA) system, for "multi-path" data communication via satellite repeater, the form of transmitted data is varied adaptively to maintain error-free transmission under varying noise conditions. Adjustments are made on a path selective and channel selective basis to protect only the most vulnerable data in specific transmission paths experiencing noise deterioration. Accordingly any multi-channel burst may contain channels of data in both protected and unprotected forms. A predetermined portion of each channel containing data in unprotected format is used explicitly to designate the destination of the accompanying data and implicitly to distinguish the data format as unprotected. In protected format data including error protective coding is transmitted in two contiguous channels along with information in the first channel explicitly distinguishing the protected format. This format-distinguishing information occupies the space allotted in the unprotected format for designating the data destination. The destination of protectively encoded data is explicitly designated in a separate predetermined space in the associated double-channel slot.

    摘要: Modular digital exchanges linked by earth satellite provide coordinated time division switching and time compressed communication services relative to externally attached telephone and data (user) trunks. Branch exchange modules (NCU's) perform call switching, buffer storage, time compression and activity selective channel assignment handling between individual external user trunks and multi-bit channels of external time division highways (digital links). The latter are linked pyramidally to time division multiple access nodes of the satellite through Network (Nodal) Access Unit modules (NAU's) which perform further time compression handling and adaptive assignment of satellite channels based upon nodal distribution of demand. The NCU modules also provide "local" switching between user trunks and "tandem" linkage directly between NCU's (without NAU and satellite handling). The modules have individual common control processors which inter-communicate via reserved signaling channels on the digital links and satellite. The modularity is in increments suitable for adaptive deployment of connection equipment relative to satellite access nodes (e.g. to adapt to shifts in user populations and/or plant facilities).

    摘要: Automatic gain control in a digital signal processor. An incoming electrical signal is sampled and multiplied by a gain factor with the resulting product compared to a constantly changing maximum value. If the magnitude of the changing maximum value lies outside a predetermined range of values, then the gain factor is adjusted proportionally to the error calculated by the amount the maximum value is outside the threshold range. In an alternative embodiment, the gain is adjusted according to whether or not one of the resulting products lies outside such upper and lower threshold range. The running maximum value decays with time in order to allow the automatic gain control to rack a signal which slowly weakens in strength. A time dependent factor enables the gain to be adjusted much more radically when a signal is first received.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for phase and frequency locking a reference oscillator to an incoming modulated signal. The method and apparatus enable the carrier recovery of the incoming modulated signal. Phase and frequency locking devices are connected in feedback loops with a coherent detector that determine the amount of phase and frequency error between the reference oscillator of the coherent detector and the incoming modulated signal. The feedback loops correct such frequency and phase error so as to enable the reference oscillator to be in phase and frequency step with the modulated signal.
