Abstract:
The bits of the multiplier are multiplied by sequential bits of the multiplicand in ascending order of significance. These sequential products are supplied to a parallel adder, where each bit is added to the delayed sum of the preceding operation of the next higher bit in order of significance, including the carry bit as the most significant. After k bits of multiplicand have been used, truncated or rounded output becomes available at the output of the least significant stage of the adder. During the bit interval of the last bit of the multiplicand the outputs of the adder are loaded into a parallel input series output shift register, after which the remaining bits of the product are taken from the output of the shift register, the delayed flipflops associated with the adder are cleared and the adder begins to operate on the next multiplication while the shift register is unloading.
Abstract:
An adaptive filter system for determining characteristics of an electrical input signal, such as resonant frequencies, antiresonant frequencies, etc. which includes a plurality of antiresonance circuits and/or resonance circuits coupled to an input signal, means for developing indicator signals indicate the deviation of the anti-resonant and/or resonant frequencies of the circuits from the anti-resonant and/or resonant frequencies of the input signal, and means for cross-correlating the output from at least one of the circuits with the indicator signals, and for generating correction signals as a function of the crosscorrelation. The correction signals are fed to the circuits to vary the anti-resonant and/or resonant frequencies thereof so that the frequencies correspond to the respective resonant and/or anti-resonant frequencies in the input signal.
Abstract:
A digital frequency synthesizer using modulo 10N accumulator means for receiving signals corresponding to a predetermined frequency output and for successively generating signals corresponding to addresses in a storage means, each of the addresses corresponding to a storage location which stores digital values corresponding to at least the magnitude of a plurality of digital samples of the output signal from the synthesizer. A digital-to-analog converter converts the output of the storage means into a step-type waveform which is passed through a low pass filter to generate a smooth output waveform from the system. In order to reduce the size of the required storage device, sign and quadrature symmetry may be taken advantage of by making use of the redundancy of the magnitude of values in a sinusoidal signal generator.
