    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for generating dual outputs in a digital exciter system. A first signal path produces one of a frequency modulated audio signal, a digital information signal, and a signal comprising both frequency modulated audio and digital information. A second signal path produces one of a frequency modulated audio signal, a digital information signal, and a signal comprising both frequency modulated audio and digital information. A main exciter output provides one of the signal produced at the first signal path and the signal produced at the second signal path to an associated first signal destination. An auxiliary exciter output provides one of the signal produced at the first signal path and the signal produced at the auxiliary signal path to an associated second signal destination

    摘要: A directional coupler comprises a coupler circuit board which is mounted substantially perpendicular to the surface of a parent circuit board. First and second upper traces are disposed on the opposing surfaces of the coupler circuit board. The coupling between the upper electrically conductive traces determines the odd mode impedance of the coupler. First and second lower traces are also disposed on opposing surfaces and connected to ground. The upper and lower traces are arranged such that the even mode of the impedance is determined by the coupling between the first upper trace and the second lower trace and the coupling between the second upper trace and the first lower trace.

    摘要: An amplification system is provided that comprises a push-pull amplifier system having a first power transistor series coupled with a second power transistor that alternately switch between a push-pull amplifier mode of operation and a single-ended amplifier mode of operation. In the push-pull amplifier mode, both the first power transistor and the second power transistor alternately conduct to provide an amplified output signal to an output load in response to an input signal having an amplitude that is greater than or equal to a threshold level. In the single-ended amplifier mode of operation, the first power transistor conducts and the second power transistor is disabled for amplification purposes in response to the input signal having an amplitude that is less than the threshold level.
