Abstract:
Receiver for the reception of pulses modulated on a carrier wave, comprising a device forming frequencies F1+f2 and f1-f2 from two transmitted pilot frequencies f1 and f2 from which the local carrier and clock signals respectively are derived. In order to reduce the phase shifts of these signals due to frequency shifts on the transmission path, the device comprises two automatic phase correction (AFC)-loops each including a phase discriminator and an oscillator, the incoming signals being applied to the phase discriminator of the first AFC-loop and the associated oscillator being tuned to f1 or f2, while the output voltage of said phase discriminator is applied both to the phase discriminator of the second AFC-loop whose oscillator is tuned to f1+f2 and to a selective circuit tuned to f1-f2.
Abstract:
A modulator for modulating a digital carrier with digital information pulses features logic gates, inverters and a switch. The switch has three positions for connecting the circuit into three different configurations for achieving AM, FM and PM. A digital filter is used in conjunction with the modulator for attenuating any possible undesired sidebands resulting from the modulation.
Abstract:
A receiver for use with orthogonal modulation signals transmitted along a transmission link having a particular phase shift characteristic features predetection and postdetection phase equalizers. The predetection equalizer produces with the link phase characteristic a symmetrical about the carrier frequency phase characteristic. The postdetection equalizer produces with both the transmission link and predetection equalizer a linear phase characteristic.
