    Abstract: Trans-filter/Detectors are extremely sensitive circuits that recover exponentially modulated signals buried in noise. They can be used wherever Matched Filter/Coherent Detectors are used and operate at negative input signal-to-noise ratios to recover RADAR, SONAR, communications, or data signals, as well as reduce phase noise of precision oscillators. Input signal and noise is split into two paths where complementary derivatives are extracted. Outputs of the two paths are equal in amplitude and 180 degrees relative to each other at the band center frequency. The outputs are summed, causing stationary in-band noise to be reduced by cancellation while exponentially modulated signals are undiminished. Trans-filters are Linear Time Invariant circuits, have no noise x noise threshold and can be cascaded, increasing output signal-to-noise ratio prior to detection. Trans-filters are most sensitive to all types of digital modulation, producing easily detected polarized pulses synchronous with data transitions. Trans-filters do not require coherent conversion oscillators and complex synchronizing circuits.

    Abstract: An input signal comprising a carrier wave whose frequency may vary is applied to two complementary conductivity type transistors. Two resonant circuits, one tuned to a frequency slightly higher than and the other tuned to a frequency slightly lower than that of the nominal center frequency of the carrier wave are coupled between the respective drain electrodes of these transistors and a circuit node. The voltages developed across these resonant circuits are detected and the detection components subtracted from one another to obtain the circuit output signal.

    Abstract: The inventive system demodulates angle-modulated signals. A tracking band-pass filter responds to an input angle-modulated wave signal. The tracking filter has a pass band with a center frequency controlled by a control signal. A first amplitude limiter limits the amplitude of the input angle-modulated wave signal. A differentiation circuit establishes a 90.degree. phase difference between a signal passing through the tracking band-pass filter and a signal passing through the amplitude limiter. A phase comparator responds to an input with the two signals with a 90.degree. phase difference therebetween and produces an output error signal in accordance with this phase difference. This output error signal is supplied as the control signal to the tracking band-pass filter. This output error signal is also passed through a low pass filter to produce the demodulated signal.

    Abstract: A transducer and frequency discriminator circuit including a four-terminal circulating diode bridge, a first pair of capacitors connected in series across two terminals of the bridge, and a second pair of capacitors, or other impedance elements, connected in series across the other two terminals of the bridge. A source of balanced alternating electrical energy for energizing the circuit is coupled between the commonly connected plates of the first pair of capacitors and the commonly connected plates of the second pair of capacitors. Due to the operation of the diode bridge, the sum of the resultant charges developed on the first pair of capacitors is proportional to the relationship between the respective capacitors of the second pair, and consequently, an output voltage taken across the first pair of capacitors will be proportional to that relationship.
