Abstract:
An adaptive equalizer performs equalization at IF, demodulates the input signal and then generates the equalization coefficients at baseband from the demodulated data. Coefficient updating can be done on a non-real time basis and coefficients for individual bursts stored in a coefficient memory for retrieval when the same burst occurs in the next frame, thus obtaining a pseudo-continuous equalization for each burst. The error signal is derived from demodulated equalized data and correlated with demodulated unequalized data to generate the correlation coefficients, and individual error signals from each channel can be combined into a single composite error signal for correlation purposes.

Abstract:
THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE DELAY LINES BASED UPON PROPAGATION OF A SURFACE VIBRATIONAL WAVE IN A PIEZOELECTRIC WAVE GUIDE WHICH IS PROVIDED AT ITS EXTREMITIES WITH INTERDIGITATED COMB-SHAPED ELECTRODES. THE DELAY LINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INVENTION COMPRISES AT LEAST ONE COMB STRUCTURE THE TEETH OF WHICH ARE LINKED TO A COMMON CONNECTION BY A SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER WHICH IS RENDERED LOCALLY CONDUCTIVE BY MEANS OF A DISPLACEABLE LIGHT SPOT. THIS TYPE OF LINE CAN BE UTILISED IN A FREQUENCY RANGE EXTENDING FROM ONE MEGACYCLE TO SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF MEGACYCLES, IN ORDER TO PRODUCE DELAYS ADJUSTABLE FROM A FRACTION OF A MICROSECOND TO SEVERAL TENS OF MICROSECONDS.
Abstract:
The automatic time-domain equalizer is modified to improve its signal-to-noise and impulse-response dispersal performance by supplementing the basic prior art equalizer with a final equalizer whose tap attenuators are controlled by correlations of the output of the basic equalizer with a distortion error signal. The reference input to the final equalizer is the appropriately delayed signal to be equalized. Two cascade equalization sections substantially eliminate from the final output the noise and echo components that are normally generated in the basic equalizer when used alone.

Abstract:
A phase tracking network comprising a phase correction network for correcting at least some of the phase error of an input signal to provide a phase corrected signal having components in first and second channels and a detector responsive to the phase corrected signal for providing a detected signal having first and second components in the first and second channels. An error calculator provides a phase correction signal back to the phase correction apparatus which responds to the phase correction signal to correct the phase error of the input signal. The phase error signal contains substantially no noise from the first channel at least when the first component of the detected signal is zero and contains substantially no noise from the second channel at least when the second component of the detected signal is zero. This is accomplished by utilizing the error calculator to provide a first control signal which represents a first fixed value, zero, and a second fixed value when the first component of the detected signal is ideally positive and not zero, ideally zero, and ideally negative and not zero, respectively. The error calculator similarly provides a second control signal for the second component of the detected signal.
Abstract:
A method of adjusting and readjusting an automatic corrector for a data signal transmission system, the corrector serving to restore pulse-amplitude-modulated signals which have suffered linear distortions in a transmission channel. A transversal filter of the corrector receives during a first adjustment phase a reference signal sequence transmitted over the transmission channel and an identical reference signal produced at the receiving end to produce error signals which serve to adjust the transversal filter coefficients stored in the corrector. The filter coefficients are subdivided into at least two groups and during the first phase one group of filter coefficients is calculated with a more attenuated error signal than the filter coefficients of the other group. In a second adjustment phase the filter coefficients of the transversal filter are readjusted in respect of alterations of the properties of the transmission channel, the error signal formed from the output signal of the transversal filter and the reference values for the latter signal being correlated with the data signal arriving at the input of the transversal filter.
Abstract:
A receiver includes means for sampling and noncoherently demodulating a received signal to provide digital symbols in each of a first and second channel. An equalization network equalizes the incoming signal and a phase correction network corrects the phase of the equalized signal. In response to the transmission of a preamble in the first channel, a fast learn network derives the phase error by determining the arc tangent of a quotient formed by dividing the signal in the first channel by the signal in the second channel. A course phase jump can be made to insure that the arc tangent is not greater than unity. The timing error of the sampling means can be derived by determining the arc tangent of a quotient formed by dividing the present digital symbol in the one channel by the preceding digital symbol in the one channel. In response to an impulse in the preamble, the lead-in samples of an impulse response can be stored while the phase error is computed from the major sample; then the phase of the lead-in samples can be corrected. Equalization coefficients can be derived from the phase corrected impulse response samples. With this apparatus, in accordance with the preferred method of the present invention, the receiver can be adapted to receive normal data in less than thirty milliseconds.
