摘要:
Input codes are sequenced at a lower-resolution linear DAC and the output is converted to a linear current waveform. A first of two interconnected analog current multipliers multiplies the linear current by itself and by the inverse of a first constant current source to create a quadratic current output. A second current multiplier multiplies the quadratic output current by the linear current and by the inverse of a second constant current source to generate a cubic current output. The quadratic and cubic currents are subtracted from the linear current to generate an approximation of the first 180 degrees of a sine wave current. Alternate (pi to 2*pi) positive-going one-half sine waves may be polarity reversed to create a complete positive-going and negative-going sine-shaped electrical current of higher resolution than is available from a sine DAC of resolution equivalent to that of the lower-resolution linear DAC.

A method and circuit arrangement for frequency multiplication. A plurality of circuit modules for realizing Chebyshev polynomials of the nth order Tn(x)) are provided. The Chebyshev polynomials have arithmetic properties and are defined by Tn(cos(&ohgr;t))=cos(n&ohgr;t). The circuit modules are interconnected to form a modular circuit array or a modular circuit structure using one or more of the relations Tnm(x)=Tn(Tm(x)) and Tn+m(x)=Tn(x)Tm(x)−Tn−m(x). A cosinusoidal oscillation of a frequency is input into the Chebyshev circuit module (Tn(x)) to generate a cosinusoidal oscillation having n-fold frequency. Frequency multiplier circuits may be produced very simply and in modular form, making applications in telecommunications, in particular, very cost-effective.

A high-speed discrete cosine transformation circuit includes the one-dimensional input signals x(0) to x(7) being input in parallel to the positive input terminals "+" or the negative input terminals "-" of eight neural operation units (NOU) 11 to 18 through capacitors d0 to d6. In each NOU 11 to 18, input signals x(0) to x(7) are added and subtracted. Input signals x(0) to x(7) are multiplied beforehand by the coefficient in proportion to the capacities of capacitors d0 to d6 which are connected to NOU 11 to 18. Thereafter, discrete cosine transforming coefficients y(0) to y(7) are output. A two-dimensional discrete cosine transformation circuit is realized by using the one-dimensional discrete cosine transforming circuit.

A capacitive coupling is used with a plurality of parallel capacitances corresponding to weights of bits of real and imaginary parts of the multiplier. The sign of the multiplier is represented by selection of output paths. A complex number calculation circuit for calculating approximated absolute values is suitable for an analog architecture. Inverter circuits are used for linear inversion of analog values, and capacitive couplings are used for weighted addition. Analog maximum and minimum circuits with parallel MOSs are used for maximum and minimum calculation.

The invention provides an opto-electronic scale reading apparatus comprising a read head in which a plurality of optical emitter and receiver pairs are arranged so that beams of collimated light generated by the respective emitters fall on a common region of a scale. Compared to arrangements where the light beams fall on separate regions of the scale, the apparatus according to the invention is relatively immune to the effects of certain misalignments between the scale and the read head.

A universal trigonometric function generator which is selectively programmable by pin-strapping to generate any of the standard trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant). The circuit includes two identical sine-function generating networks each of which produces an output signal proportional to the sine of a corresponding angle input. These networks are so interrelated that the composite output signal is proportional to the angle input of one network and inversely proportional to the angle input of the other network, producing an output ##EQU1## where A is a controllable amplitude, .theta..sub.1 -.theta..sub.2 is the angle input to one network, and .phi..sub.1 -.phi..sub.2 is the angle input to the other network. By selectively connecting the input terminals for .theta..sub.1, .theta..sub.2, .phi..sub.1, .phi..sub.2 to an angle control signal and reference voltages corresponding to 0.degree. and 90.degree., any one of the standard trigonometric functions can be generated.

The circuit of the angle resolver compares a first angle to a second angle and produces an output voltage which is an analog representation of the angular difference between the two. One of the angles, which might be a controlled variable is represented by a pair of electrical signals from an electronic compass, for example, which are analog representations of the sine and cosine of the angle. Within the angle resolver circuitry, an analog switch and integrator form an output voltage which is accurately proportional to the sine of the angular difference between the two angles in accordance with: sine (A--B)=(sin A) (cos B)--(cos A) (sin B), where B might be the reference angle, and A, the unknown angle. For cases where A is nearly equal to B, A--B is a small angle, and sin (A--B)=A--B. The values of cos B and sin B are very simply linearly approximated in the present invention by the technique of sampling and integrating the sin A and cos A inputs. By the use of RC differentiators at the sin A and cos A inputs to the circuitry, the errors introduced by the linear approximations of cos B and sin B are compensated to a high degree with minimum cost and complexity.

A Constant Velocity Vector Generator is disclosed for connecting X, Y coordinate points of a rectangular coordinate display system. A pair of absolute value amplifier circuits, a square-root-of-the-sum-of-the-squares circuit, a pair of dividers, and a pair of integrators are employed to convert simultaneous .DELTA.X and .DELTA.Y step voltages to ramp voltage pairs which are applied to appropriate X and Y deflection circuits of a graphic display device to produce straight-line traces whose velocities are constant for all vectors regardless of magnitude (line length) or direction (angle). Each vector may be drawn to any length or direction, immediately after which new data may be applied to the vector generator to initiate a new vector whose origin is the end point of the preceding vector. Such a system is particularly applicable to computer-drawn displays. The vector generating circuits are suitable for realization in a monolithic integrated circuit.
