    摘要: A circuit that combines the functions of audio compression and voice detection comprises an amplifier in a negative-feedback configuration in which the feedback signal is the product of the output of the amplifier and a syllabic voltage derived from that output. The syllabic voltage is compared with a threshold level to provide an output that is a measure of the presence of a voice signal. In an alternate embodiment, the syllabic voltage is compared with the sum of a threshold level and a detected syllabic voltage to generate a signal that is a measure of the presence of voice. The syllabic detector may be either an averaging detector or a valley detector.

    摘要: During operation of a secondary communication system, cells (106) are formed by a plurality of localized nodes (104) to alert other nodes within the cell of frequencies which must be protected or otherwise avoided. All nodes within the cell monitor a differing subset of all frequencies available, and share information with respect to acceptable and protected frequencies with each other via low-power, short-range communication. Each node then forms a list of available channels for communication, and chooses a single node to report this information back to controller.

    摘要: During operation of a secondary communication system 100, a device will perform spectrum sensing of certain channels (either by itself or as part of a group of nodes 104). When activity is found on a channel from a primary user, other devices will be notified that the channel is not available for use. The device may then modify its spectrum sensing to assist another device (or group of devices) that have not yet found activity on a different set of channels. By assigning additional channels to devices with extra capacity, the overall spectrum-sensing efficiency and performance of the communication system 100 is raised.

    摘要: A sample circuit (10) maintains linear operation over frequency. A switchable diode bridge (12) passes the analog input signal when enabled to one terminal of a sample storage capacitor (14). The second terminal of the capacitor is coupled through a closed FET switch (16) to a reference node (18). Once the analog input signal is stored across the capacitor, the FET switch opens before the diode bridge disables. When the second terminal of the capacitor floats and prevents any further charge from altering the sample voltage across the capacitor. When the diode bridge is disabled, the sample voltage across the capacitor does not change. The sample voltage may be amplified and digitized for further processing in the cellular system.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for operating a phase locked loop frequency synthesizer responsive to radio frequency channel spacing. The phase locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer (300) tunes a radio frequency transceiver (100) to a radio frequency channel. A processor (110) in the transceiver (100) determines the channel spacing of the radio frequency channels in a portion of a radio frequency band including the radio frequency channel, and controls the PLL frequency synthesizer (300) responsive to the determined channel spacing. The present invention advantageously provides the PLL frequency synthesizer (300) with faster lock time and lower noise.

    摘要: A unique automatic battery charger (100) is described that recharges a battery (202) including a thermistor (206) for sensing the battery temperature. The charger (100) produces both a slow-charge current and a fast-charge current. Upon detecting the presence of the battery (202), the unique charger (100) turns on a fast-charge current produced by a switchable current source (110-113). The fast-charge current is subsequently turned off when the battery (202) is fully charged as indicated by the status of monitored temperature and voltage conditions. Comparators (180-184) are utilized to monitor these voltage and temperature conditions. According to a novel feature of the present invention, the monitored temperature thresholds are changed in response to the supply voltage. The automatic battery charging apparatus of the present invention may be advantageously utilized in a variety of applications for rapidly and safely charging batteries used in battery-operated electrical apparatus.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for allocating spectrum within a wireless communication system is provided herein. During operation, a first base station will determine a location of a UE wishing to transmit. A database will be accessed containing wireless coverage area information for base stations with overlapping coverage with the first base station. Based on this information the first base station will determine if the UE is within an overlapping coverage area of multiple base stations. Spectrum will be assigned to the wireless equipment in a guard band, based at least in part on the determination that the UE is not within the overlapping coverage area.

    摘要: An improved phase synchronization circuit (301) and method therefor for a phase locked loop (300). Each of a divided reference frequency signal (206) and a feedback signal (209) is held in a predetermined state. The divided reference frequency signal (206) is enabled responsive to the phase of a reference frequency signal (115). A phase relationship between the reference frequency signal (115) and an output frequency signal (116 or 117) is determined. The feedback signal (209) is enabled responsive to enabling the divided reference frequency signal (206) and the determined phase relationship. The present invention advantageously provides a rapid and accurate phase synchronization for the PLL (300) with minimum additional hardware and without introducing phase error into the PLL (300).

    摘要: A .pi./4-shift DQPSK modulator modulates a digitized voice signal and other information. An FM modulator modulates the analog voice signal and other information. The FM modulator is coupled to the quadrature mixers (109 and 110) of the .pi./4-shift DQPSK modulator. When an FM modulated signal is required, the mixers (109 and 110) are biased (114) to allow carrier feedthrough by applying a fixed, non-zero DC signal to one or both mixers (109 and 110). The carrier is then FM modulated using conventional methods such as voltage-modulation of a phase locked loop (PPL) (113). When .pi./4-shift DQPSK is to be generated, the conventional baseband I and Q vector-length signals (101 and 102) are applied to the mixers (109 and 110), and the carrier is left unmodulated by switching (115) out the input signal to the PLL (113). The PPL (113) will then generate only the carrier frequency to be mixed with the I and Q vector-length signals (101 and 102).
