    摘要: A dc-coupled receiver for a shared optical system includes an input feedback amplifier circuit which establishes a dc reference baseline voltage level for incoming packets of data. A pair of sample-and-hold circuits are connected in parallel to receive and sample signals from the feedback amplifier circuit when no data is being transmitted and at the initial edge of incoming packets of data. A voltage divider circuit receiving signals from the sample-and-hold circuits establishes a dc slicing level for each incoming packet of data. An output feedback circuit can be added to compensate for offset error without affecting the performance of the sample-and-hold circuitry.

    摘要: A protocol for fiber-optic communication systems, or other communication systems based on transmission of unipolar pulses having wide dynamic range provides for information to be transmitted in packets having a predictable time slot for each transmitter. The receiver for such protocol has a first relatively long RC time constant mode conditioned for reception of data packets whose time of arrival is well predictable and a second relatively short RC time constant mode conditioned for reception of asynchronous randomly received packets. In the relatively long RC time constant mode, each packet includes a preamble having a first clamp interval in which no pulse is transmitted, and a second clamp interval in which a continual pulse is transmitted. A transducer on the receiver translates the packets of pulses into differential electronic signals on first and second outputs. First and second coupling capacitors, receive respective outputs of the transducer and AC couples the signals to respective second terminals of the capacitors. First and second switches connect the second terminals of the respective coupling capacitors to ground during the first and second clamping intervals, respectively, of the preamble. By clamping the outputs of the transducer to ground during the first and second clamping intervals, a DC level for each incoming packet is instantly established independent of the magnitude of the incoming packet. In the asynchronous mode, relatively low impedance discharge paths are established to reduce the time constant of the receiver. An output circuit, connected to the second terminal of each of the first and second coupling capacitors, supplies sequences of digital output signals in response to the differential signals.

    摘要: Sensing apparatus for monitoring the passage of objects, including people, through a doorway. A source of radiant energy is positioned at one side of the doorway and two spaced-apart detectors are positioned at the opposite side to receive beams of radiant energy from the source. A receiver is connected to each detector and produces a signal indicating whether the beam of radiation from the source is impinging on its associated detector or is being blocked by a passing object. Logic circuitry responds to the signals from the receivers and produces a first or second output condition depending upon which beam from the source is the last one to be interrupted by a passing object. Output circuitry coupled to the logic circuitry produces a pulse at one output terminal on a transition from the first to the second output condition indicating passage of an object through the doorway in one direction and produces a pulse at another output terminal on a transition from the second to the first output condition indicating passage of an object through the doorway in the opposite direction.

    摘要: Band gap voltage regulator employing a self-balancing bridge circuit for controlling current flow through two parallel branches. Voltage points in each branch are alternately sampled and applied to one input of a comparator in a delta modulator circuit. The output of the delta modulator circuit is applied to the other input of the comparator. The output of the comparator is applied to a control circuit which controls a current source in each of the two branches. The voltages at each voltage point are alternately compared with the voltage at the other input of the comparator, and the result is employed to control the current sources so that the voltages at both points are equalized despite any offset voltage in the comparator.

    摘要: A comparator circuit of one type, prior to this invention, had a reliability problem due to an undesirable conductive path, and had limited speed due to stray capacitances. Reliability is achieved through separate triodes for coupling an inverted storage pulse to a primary electrode of each of two triodes of a differential amplifier. Speed is achieved through coupling a transistor across the other primary electrodes of the differential amplifier, the transistor's gate electrode receiving a narrow pulse upon termination of the storage pulse.

    摘要: A comparator circuit having offset correction circuitry for use in an analog-to-digital converter. The first input of the comparator circuit is periodically connected to ground. The second input of the comparator circuit is connected through a capacitance to ground. The offset voltage generated within the comparator circuit can be considered as being present at the first input. When the offset voltage at the first input is greater than the voltage at the second input a fixed increment of electrical charge is added to the capacitance. When it is less, a fixed increment of electrical charge is subtracted from the capacitance. Thus, increments of electrical charge are accumulated in the capacitance producing a compensating voltage thereacross to correct for the offset voltage.

    摘要: Receiving apparatus for receiving and detecting binary encoded continuous wave RF signals. The binary signal is detected by a superregenerative detector. The detected signal and a DC reference voltage are applied to an amplifier which produces a signal corresponding to the detected signal but shifted to vary in amplitude about an axis at the DC reference voltage. The shifted signal and the DC reference voltage are applied to a comparator which produces an output signal at a predetermined voltage level when the shifted signal is greater than the DC reference voltage and at 0 volts when the shifted signal is less than the DC reference voltage. Thus a noise-free binary signal having sharply defined voltage transitions is obtained.

    摘要: Variable phase shift apparatus employing two transistors having their bases connected together and their collectors connected together. The input terminal is coupled to the emitter of the first transistor. A phase control arrangement of a capacitance and a variable resistance in series is connected between the input terminal and ground. The juncture of the capacitance and the variable resistance is connected to the bases of both transistors. A phase control signal is present at this juncture. The collector current in the first transistor is in phase with the difference between the input signal and the phase control signal. The collector current in the second transistor is 180.degree. out of phase with the phase control signal. The two collector currents are combined by flowing through a common load resistance to produce an output signal which is the resultant of the collector currents in the two transistors. By decreasing the variable resistance the collector current in the first transistor is increased and that in the second transistor decreased. By increasing the variable resistance the collector current in the first transistor is decreased and that in the second transistor increased. Thus by varying the variable resistance the phase of the output signal with respect to the input signal can be varied between 0.degree. and 180.degree..

    摘要: Color demodulating apparatus for a color television receiver. The chrominance signal is separated from other components of the composite video signal and sampled at the color subcarrier frequency to produce charges representative of the synchronously detected chrominance signal. The charges are applied to two CCD delay lines which introduce a delay differential at their outputs equal to the horizontal line period of the television receiver. The outputs of the CCD delay lines are combined in a summing network. Due to the interleaving principle present with standard NTSC signals the demodulated chrominance signals add and any unwanted high frequency luminance components cancel. The output of the summing network is lowpass filtered to produce a continuous color video signal which is free of cross-color effects.
