Abstract:
Embodiments include methods performed by a network node in a wireless communication network. The node is part of a first BSS that is one of a plurality of BSS in a Mobility Domain (MD) that supports a Fast BSS Transition procedure. Such methods include transmitting one or more Fast Initial Link Setup Discovery (FD) frames. Each FD frame includes an identifier of the first MD, which enables receiving devices to determine, without receiving any non-FD frames from the network node, whether to associate with the network node via the Fast BSS Transition procedure. Such methods include associating with a first device through the Fast BSS procedure, wherein the first wireless communication device was previously associated with one of the BSS in the MD. Other embodiments include complementary methods performed by devices, as well as network nodes and devices configured to perform such methods.
Abstract:
The circuit comprises a surface acoustic wave device. On the substrate (32)f the surface acoustic wave device, are provided two pairs of input transducers (33, 34, 35, 36) connected, in parallel, to the input of the circuit. The transducers (33, 34, 35, 36) initiate surface acoustic waves corresponding to the signals applied on two pairs of paths (41, 42, 43, 44) ending at two pairs of reception transducers (37, 38, 39, 40). The outputs of the output transducers of the first pair (37, 38) are connected to the two inputs of a mixer (28) whose output yields the received digital signal. The outputs of the second pair of transducers (39, 40) are connected to the inputs of two limiters (26, 27) whose outputs are connected to the two inputs of a mixer (29) whose output yields the analog signal. The difference in path lengths of the first pair (41, 42) introduces a delay of the order of one bit and the difference in path lengths of the second pair (43, 44) introduces a delay equal to the inverse of twice the bandwidth between the peaks of the discriminator thus constituted.

Abstract:
A high frequency discriminator is disclosed with a phase shift circuit using a piezoelectric crystal and a series connected load resistor. The voltage across the load resistor is shifted in phase an amount corresponding to the deviation of the input signal voltage from its center frequency. This phase shifting circuit may be connected in cascade with a 90.degree. phase shift circuit to produce the quadrature voltage for the discriminator. The discriminator provides very low distortion in the output.
Abstract:
A two-pole fixed-tuned monolithic crystal frequency discriminator circuit is provided wherein a tuned circuit is utilized connected between the center pin of the two-pole crystal device and ground. In this manner, two bandpass filters are effectively provided wherein the respective outputs thereof may be rectified and combined so as to obtain the desired audio output. The result is a two-pole discriminator device with the linear portion of the conventional "S" curve having a substantially wider response characteristic than for any heretofore known monolithic crystal discriminator. Additionally, it does not need further tuning adjustments and it exhibits substantially better temperature stability and small size as well as a cost saving in manufacture as compared to a comparable three-pole device.

A differential demodulator of phase-modulated digital data trains includes a device, for example a piezoelectric substrate, which transmits acoustic surface waves and includes comb-shaped input and output transducers on the substrate. The delay in the transmission of acoustic surface waves between the input and output transducers is used in the process of demodulating the phase modulated digital data trains.
Abstract:
A damped piezoelectric ceramic resonator. The resonator is a thin flat plate of piezoelectric ceramic material which has parallel major planar surfaces and is polarized in one direction in such a way that said direction is at an angle of from 0.degree. to 60.degree. with respect to said major surfaces, the thickness dimension of said plate being such as to impart thereto a resonance of vibrations in a thickness-shear mode at a particularly selected frequency higher than one megacycle. Operating electrodes are applied to said major planar surfaces. Vibration damping means is attached tightly to the contour of the edge of said flat plate so as to suppress unwanted resonance vibrations in said flat plate during operating. The vibration damping means is a ring of a rubber material having a hardness from 20 to 70 on the Shore A Scale and is under a tension of 20-500 gm/cm.
Abstract:
A frequency discriminating apparatus is constituted by a piezoelectric ceramic resonator, a reference capacitor, a pre-amplifier including a broad tuning circuit, a pair of amplitude detectors, and a differential amplitude limiter. The piezoelectric ceramic resonator is made of a piezoelectric lead titanate ceramic plate having a pair of electrodes covering the entire area of the major surfaces thereof, and the plate is poled with a poling field of not less than 50 kV/cm in the thickness direction. The thickness of the plate is chosen so as to cause the plate to vibrate in the thickness-extensional vibration of the 3rd harmonic overtone at a preselected frequency when an electrical signal is applied to the pair of electrodes. The differential amplitude limiter differentially adds the two signals detected by the two amplitude detectors and limits the peak output voltage amplitudes to a predetermined amplitude. The center frequency for the frequency discrimination by this apparatus can be stably maintained according to this apparatus, and the apparatus can be easily manufactured in the form of integrated circuits without necessitating many value adjustments of circuit elements.
Abstract:
Frequency discriminators are disclosed employing a crystal filter having a predetermined voltage versus frequency characteristic including a discriminator operating portion slightly below the filter lower cutoff frequency along which the voltage varies substantially linearly as a function of frequency. Detector circuitry rectifies the output voltage from the crystal filter, while voltage level shifting circuitry algebraically combines the output voltage from the detector with a dc voltage such that the algebraic sum of the dc voltage and the detector output voltage is zero when the instantaneous frequency of the input signal to the discriminator is at the discriminator center frequency. The discriminator is constructed without the use of any crystal resonator having a series resonant frequency within the discriminator passband; hence spurious series resonances occur outside of the discriminator passband, thereby facilitating wideband operation.
