摘要:
Impedance matching between a helical resonator of a helical resonator filter and a circuit connected thereto is accomplished by the provision of a microstrip transmission line including a microstrip stub printed on a printed circuit board, the microstrip stub being short in comparison to the wavelength at the resonant frequency of the filter whereby the microstrip stub assumes the characteristics of an inductive impedance. A first electrical end of the microstrip stub is connected to a first terminal of the helical resonator and to a first terminal of the circuit, and a second electrical end of the microstrip stub is connected to a second terminal of the helical resonator and to a second terminal of the circuit.

A direct sequence digital spread spectrum receiver acquires and maintains synchronization in a reliable, yet simple manner, even under severe multipath and interference conditions. A sliding correlator and a voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) cooperate to acquire initial synchronization, and once synchronization is acquired, the VCXO is linearly frequency modulated (FM) for accurate tracking. The difficult problem of keeping the receiver code clock synchronized to that of the transmitter under severe multipath and interference conditions is solved by virtue of a dual switched bandwidth low pass filter section of the tracking circuit, allowing a wide bandwidth for initial acquisition and tracking but once the clocks are aligned, a narrow loop takes over that follows the transmitter closely. A commercially available intermediate frequency (IF) integrated circuit (IC) is used as an amplitude modulated (AM) detector to achieve the large dynamic range required. The IF IC has an internal received signal strength indicator (RSSI) output which is used to demodulate the amplitude variations generated by the tracking circuit.

An electronic article surveillance (EAS) system includes a transmitting antenna, a driver operable for exciting the transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna and circuitry connected to the receiving antenna for improving the quality of transmissions from the transmitting antenna. The driver excites the transmitting antenna at a preselected system operating frequency and the circuitry connected to the receiving antenna improves the quality of transmissions from the transmitting antenna by lessening harmonics of the operating frequency in the transmissions. The harmonics are attributable to protection diodes connected to the receiving antenna for limiting voltages impressed thereon and otherwise adversely impacting on the receiver tag signal processing circuitry. The harmonic lessening circuitry is connected in parallel with the protection diodes and is operative to lessen protection diode harmonic generation.

A technique for reducing low frequency baseband interference noise is disclosed. The low frequency baseband interference noise typically takes the form of low frequency magnetic interference emanating from a power source providing low frequency switching currents. The power source typically has a supply current terminal and an oppositely disposed return current terminal. The technique is realized by enclosing the power source in an electrically conductive sheath, wherein the electrically conductive sheath has an input terminal disposed proximate the supply current terminal and an output terminal disposed proximate the return current terminal. The output terminal is electrically connected to the return current terminal. Also, the electrically conductive sheath has an opening proximate the supply current terminal for allowing access to the supply current terminal.
