    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: A microwave frequency discriminator, i.e. an electronic device for directly transforming frequency modulation on a microwave carrier into a demodulated lower frequency signal. The discriminator is similar to a Travis discriminator and includes an inlet microstrip line, two resonant circuits (R.sub.1, R.sub.2) constituted by dielectric resonators and coupled to said inlet microstrip line to receive the modulated microwave signal, two outlet microstrip lines coupling each resonator to a respective microwave detector circuit, said detector circuits including loads (r.sub.1, r.sub.2) in series-opposition in the manner of a Travis discriminator. The microwave frequency discriminator can be used in a demodulator and/or receiver for frequency modulated microwaves.

    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 frequency discriminating circuit having a double tuned circuit with a transformer, which has a first and second resonant circuits. The first resonant circuit is composed of a capacitor, a primary winding of the transformer and a first variable inductance element and the second resonant circuit is composed of a capacitor, a secondary winding of the transformer and second and third variable inductance elements, wherein the quality factor Q of the second resonant circuit is much larger than that Q of the first resonant circuit. The center frequency of the frequency-response characteristic (so-called S characteristic) of the discriminating circuit can be adjusted by adjusting the second and third variable inductance elements and the linearity of the frequency response characteristic of the discriminating circuit can be adjusted by adjusting the first variable inductance element.

    Abstract: An improved electronic circuit and technique for providing a trigger pulse synchronized with the maximum pulse density in a random pulse train. A frequency modulated pulse train having uniform amplitude pulses is delivered to an RC circuit which provides an output waveform having maximum amplitude at the highest input frequency or maximum pulse density. The waveform is passed through a smoothing filter and amplifier to more particularly define the waveform peak, and then to a peak detector where the point of maximum amplitude is sensed using a transistor sensing circuit. A pulse output from the transistor sensing circuit is electronically modified to produce an impulse trigger spike that corresponds to the point of maximum pulse density over a wide range of input conditions.
