摘要:
A data recovery device (208) for recovering data symbols having a period T from a received data stream. The data recovery device samples at least one data symbol in the received data stream at a rate determined by an integration envelope (301) having the period T. The samples are accumulated as a weighted sample count representing a recovered data symbol that is then stored as at least one recovered data bit.

A symbol synchronizer for a communication receiver receiving multi-level data signals includes a reference clock generator for generating a reference clock signal having a predetermined time period, a state change detector for detecting state changes occurring within the received multi-level data signals over the predetermined time period to enable determining a time location corresponding to the detected state change wherein the time locations are assigned predetermined numeric values corresponding to the time locations determined, an accumulator for accumulating a time location for the time locations selected, and a phase adjusting circuit which is responsive to the time location count for adjusting the phase of the reference clock signal relative to the received multi-level data signal.

A communication system (100) for selectively providing repeat messages includes a message transmission device (105) for normally transmitting messages a single time, for receiving repeat requests indicating that a previously transmitted message should be transmitted again, and for automatically transmitting future messages more than once in response to determining that a number of repeat requests exceeds a transmission threshold. A radio communication device (110) is included in the communication system (100) for receiving the messages and for generating a repeat request in response to determining that the previously transmitted message has not been correctly received.

A voltage potential monitoring circuit is operative to set a voltage potential threshold substantially independent of ambient temperature variation. The monitoring circuit includes a first circuit for generating a first current proportional to the voltage potential being monitored, and a second circuit responsive to the first circuit for generating a second current. The voltage potential threshold is set substantially as a function of the first and second currents. The monitoring circuit further includes a circuit responsive to the first and second currents for generating an undervoltage signal when the monitored voltage potential falls below the set voltage potential threshold. The voltage potential monitoring circuit has application in an electronic device which is operational over an ambient temperature range and includes a source of power for generating a voltage potential suitable for energizing the electronic device.

摘要:
In a heterodyne receiver having more than one selectable receive frequency and having at least one intermediate frequency circuit (102) capable of operation on at least two intermediate frequencies, a method for selecting one of the at least two intermediate frequencies is shown. The selection method includes selecting (402) one of the more than one selectable receive frequency, and then selecting (408, 410, 504, 506, 510, 512) at least one of the at least two intermediate frequencies for each of the at least one intermediate frequency circuit in response to the selected receive frequency. The selection of the intermediate frequency for each of the at least one intermediate frequency circuit is made such that the selected intermediate frequency does not cause the generation of one or more undesirable spurious frequencies as a result of mixing the selected receive frequency and the selected intermediate frequency.
摘要:
An LED and battery powered driver circuit provide efficient operation to conserve battery energy and maintain the intensity of light emitted from the LED at a substantially constant level despite changes in the battery voltage due to charging and discharging. A pulsed voltage output of a switching power supply is capacitively coupled to the LED. The voltage amplitude of the output pulses is maintained substantially constant by a duty cycle modulator which is connected in a feedback path of the switching power supply. A diode or a transistor circuit is provided to discharge the capacitor between voltage pulses.

A selective call receiver (500) includes a radio receiver (501) and a processor (508). The radio receiver includes an antenna (502), a combination circuit (204), a bandpass filter (208), mixers (212, 214), analog-to-digital converters (222, 224), digital mixers (234, 236), a second combination circuit (242), and a digital-to-analog converter (246). The combination circuit receives an analog signal from the antenna and combines the same with an analog feedback signal generated by the digital-to-analog converter. The bandpass filter filters the output of the combination circuit and supplies its output to the mixers which down-convert the signal to baseband signals. These signals are modified by the analog-to-digital converters to digital signals which are up-converted by the digital mixers. The outputs of the digital mixers are combined by the second combination circuit to a digital output that is modified by the digital-to-analog converter to the analog feedback signal.
摘要:
A voltage regulator circuit (100) for coupling to a power supply voltage (BPLUS) generates and regulates an output voltage (VREG). The voltage regulator circuit (100) includes a gain control element (148) for controlling the loop gain of the voltage regulator circuit (100) in response to the output current. Under heavy load conditions, the gain control element (148) functions to reduce (716) the output voltage (VREG) and thus the output current of the voltage regulator circuit (100) to avoid an overload that would pull the power supply voltage (BPLUS) below a predetermined level.
摘要:
A battery saving apparatus selectively supplies power to the receiver functions of a battery powered communication receiver at predetermined time intervals prior to the reception of coded message signal. The selective supplying of power to the receiver functions enables the reception of the coded message signal with the receiver functions being powered prior to and only as long as is required for the receiver functions to stabilize and to enable reception of a coded message signal. The predetermined time intervals for the receiver functions are programmed into a code plug to provide the capability to change the turn-on times when required.
