A ferrite phase shifter having a pair of nonreciprocal circular polarizers with a nonreciprocal phase shifter between them, including an electronic control for altering the magnetization of the nonreciprocal circular polarizers. This arrangement may be used to compensate for temperature and power changes and may provide a bandwidth substantially equal to the theoretical for a ferrite loaded waveguide of the same configuration. In the preferred embodiment the waveguide is square, the nonreciprocal circular polarizer (NRCP) is of the transversely magnetized quadrupole field type, and electronically controllable electromagnets at each corner of the NRCP sections provide the required level of magnetization to maintain accurate 90* phase shift of orthogonal vector components of the propagating electromagnetic wave. Also in the preferred embodiment, a linear polarizer at one end of the phase shifter includes a resistive film, and a detector diode is attached to the film to detect deviations of the propagating wave from the desired linear polarization. The detector diode is a part of a control circuit which adjusts the NRCP control magnet settings.

An equalizer network that exhibits stability and may be cascaded with a transmission channel is disclosed. The network includes only two operational amplifiers, resistors and capacitors and provides a bump shaped amplitude characteristic at resonance frequency. The equalizer may be modified to exhibit selectively a `bump` or `dip` at resonance, and may be so constructed that trimming operations and the independent selection of parameters is facilitated.

The adverse effects of node slips on the operation of an adaptive equalizer are corrected by determining phase and amplitude errors in the received vector signal relative to phase and amplitude estimates, based on node decisions. The phase and amplitude error signals are aligned in a prescribed fashion with the tip of the received signal vector and, from this alignment, respective X and Y components of the error signals are obtained and fed back to the equalizer as projected X and projected Y errors for updating the equalizer weights.

A low loss corrective network for obtaining a desired overall frequency response comprises a plurality of tunable resonant circuit stages which are operative for modifying the frequency response over respective portions of the frequency spectrum. Each resonant stage comprises a variable differential capacitor having two stator plate input terminals and a rotor plate output terminal. Each stator plate input terminal is connected to respective end terminals of a source. A single voltage divider common to all of the stages has two end terminals which are connected with the source and which are also commonly connected with all of the respective stator plate input terminals of the individual stages, and a tap point located intermediate the end terminals of the divider which is commonly connected with all of the respective rotor plate output terminals of the individual stages. Moreover, matching resistors and inductors are employed to compensate for the capacitive loading presented by the differential capacitors. Finally, decoupling resistors are connected between the respective rotor plate output terminals of successive pairs of resonant stages.

摘要:
An equalizer of a coaxial transmission system is automatically adjusted by applying a sweep signal to the equalizer and comparing the output of the equalizer with a predetermined reference signal to develop an error signal. The output signal of the equalizer is simultaneously converted into a plurality of weighting signals, each representing the energy content of the output signal within a passband which includes one equalizer transmission network characteristic, i.e., ''''bump.'''' Each weighting signal is multiplied by the error signal and integrated to develop a control signal for the associated equalizer transmission network.
摘要:
The invention consists in an equalization system with two sections, one at each end of a transmission channel. The section at the transmission end adds control signals to information signals to be transmitted over the line. The section at the reception end generates control signals identical to those added at the transmission end and in phase with the control signals received over the transmission channel, which are separated from the received information signals by means of a first transversal filter with controllable weighting coefficients, the reciprocal transfer function of the transmission channel being synthesized from the locally generated and the received control signals by means of a second transversal filter with controllable weighting coefficients, equalization being achieved by means of a third transversal filter with the same design and same weighting coefficients as the second transversal filter. The invention is applicable to the transmission of data over telephone lines.
摘要:
An improved frequency sensitive circuit capable of adjusting one or more of its parameters in order to shunt an adjustable amount of electrical signal to a current sink, thereby controlling the amplitude of the signal. The frequency sensitive circuit is connected to the wiper of a potentiometer that is placed across the inputs of a difference amplifier in order to control the peak value of the cut or boost in the signal. The frequency sensitive circuit includes a shunt impedance connected between the wiper of the potentiometer and the current sink. A resonant circuit is connected to the impedance and is tuned to an adjustable resonant frequency. A compensation circuit, such as a difference amplifier referenced to the wiper, couples the output of the resonant circuit to the shunt impedance so that the impedance of the frequency sensitive circuit approaches infinity as the frequency of the electrical signal is displaced from the resonant frequency. As a result, the frequency sensitive circuit has substantially no effect on the overall amplitude of the electrical signal at frequencies widely displaced from the resonant frequency.
