    摘要: An improved damping modulation circuit (140) for a transponder (14) receives energy transmitted from a transmitter/receiver antenna (16) to produce a unique recognition signal in the transponder. The improved damping modulation circuit (140) includes a high fieldstrength circuit (152, 160, 174) that protects full-duplex transponder (14) from over-voltage through the use of voltage limiters (132), while still providing power to transponder (14). Low fieldstrength circuit (152) activates only minimal circuitry to provide the highest possible amount of power to full-duplex transponder (14). Medium fieldstrength circuit (152, 160) increases the fieldstrength in full-duplex transponder (14) for establishing a sufficient amount of current flow for proper modulation using only a medium amount of transponder (14) circuit elements.

    摘要: A circuit arrangement is described with the aid of which a control signal can be generated in dependence upon the occurrence of an extreme value of a sinusoidal oscillation. The circuit arrangement (10) includes a storage member (22) which is adapted to be charged via a diode (20) to one of the extreme values of the sinusoidal oscillation. A discharge path (26) for the storage member (22) is present, the time constant of which is so dimensioned that within the period duration of the sinusoidal oscillation an appreciable discharge of the storage member (22) takes place. A switch element (24) controllable by the charge voltage of the storage member (22) furnishes the control signal at its output (14) for the period of time during which the charge voltage at the storage member (22) is smaller than the extreme value of the sinusoidal oscillation. The circuit arrangement can be used in maintaining the oscillations of a resonance circuit stimulated to oscillate by means of a momentary HF carrier wave pulse.

    摘要: A demodulator circuit for demodulating a signal ASK-modulated with modulation pulses equal in duration, and having a small depth of modulation and large dynamic range comprises an amplitude limiter (10) through which an amplitude-dependent current flows when the amplitude of the signal to be demodulated exceeds its limiting threshold value. Furthermore comprised is an envelope detector (12) to the input of which the signal to be demodulated is applied, as well as a differentiating network (14) configured so that it differentiates the output signal of the envelope detector (12) and outputs a signal pulse only when the change in amplitude of this output signal is in one direction. A bandpass filter (18) in the demodulator circuit passes, from a signal derived from an amplitude-dependent current from the amplitude limiter (10), the frequency component attributed to the duration of the modulation pulses. A comparator (20) compares the output signal of the bandpass filter (18) to a fixed threshold value and outputs a signal pulse when this output signal exceeds the threshold value. A logic circuit (15) outputs the signal pulse existing in each case as the demodulated signal.

    摘要: An analog switch includes two complementary MOS field-effect transitors (10, 12) whose source-drain circuits are located in parallel between the input terminal (18) and the output terminal (20) of the switch. A control signal for controlling the switch is applied to the gate of the MOS field-effect transistor (12) of the one channel type directly and to the gate of the MOS field-effect transistor (10) of the other channel type via a negator (16). Between the input terminal (18) and output terminal (20) of the switch the series source-drain circuits of three MOS field-effect transistors (22, 24, 26) are inserted, whereby the MOS field-effect transistor (24) located in the middle of the series circuit has a channel type opposite that of the other two MOS field-effect transistors (22, 26). The gates of all MOS field-effect transistors of the other channel type are each interconnected. The threshold voltages of the three MOS field-effect transistors (22, 24, 26) of the series circuit are lower than the threshold voltages of the two complementary MOS field-effect transitors (10, 12) whose source-drain circuits are connected in parallel.

    摘要: Analog AC to digital signal converter includes a sampling circuit which cyclically samples the analog AC signal to form analog sampling values, and an analog-digital converter for converting the analog sampling values to digital sampling values. A sign integrator integrates the sign of the digital sampling values, and a compensating voltage generator generates a compensating voltage in dependence upon the integration result. A combination circuit combines the compensating voltage with the analog sampling value from the sampling means and applies the combination result to the analog-digital converter. The circuit compensates any DC voltage component contained in the analog AC signal and avoids interferences resulting from such DC voltage component.
