Abstract: An electronic data transmission system has a low peak-to-average power ratio by including a transmitter circuit which receives an input signal and in response generates a distorted output signal. This distorted output signal is generated by amplifying the input signal with one particular gain when the input signal is at a maximum magnitude which gives the distorted output signal a corresponding maximum magnitude, and by amplifying the input signal with a larger gain when the input signal is in a predetermined range below the maximum magnitude. The distorted output signal travels over a communication channel to a receiver circuit, which regenerates the input signal by amplifying the distorted output signal with a gain that is the inverse of the gain by which the distorted signal is generated.

Abstract: A high speed bit synchronizer is provided with a digital phase detector and a digital offset eliminating circuit. The output of the digital offset eliminating circuit is summed together with the output of the digital phase detector to compensate for the DC offset voltage generated by unsymmetrical digital data received at the input of the phase detector. Further, the phase error offset voltage produced at the output of the digital phase detector is linearized so that the lock point of the phase S-curve located on a linearized portion of a phase offset S-curve, thus, substantially eliminating all seeking and jitter that normally occurs at the lock point.

Abstract: An improved quadrature phase shift key modulator circuit of the type which includes a non-linear amplifier in the transmitter and includes a frequency select logic circuit for receiving the in phase and quadrature phase digital data to be modulated onto a carrier frequency signal. The output of the frequency select circuit produces select signals that are coupled to the input of a digital carrier frequency generator. The digital carrier frequency generator synthesizes and increases, decreases, or leaves unchanged the carrier frequency as a representation of the data occurring on the in phase and quadrature phase input lines. The output of the digital carrier frequency generator is smoothed and converted to an analog signal which has a constant vector power magnitude during phase change.
