  • Publication number: 20150169281
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for a first controlled device, such as a wireless local transmitter that accepts a plurality of digital audio signals and corresponding program information signals converted from a controlled source, such as the encoded digital data provided by a digital data signal source, typically a community antenna television (CATV) cable or direct broadcast satellite, then modulates said digital audio and corresponding program information signals on different carrier frequencies and transmits the modulated signals to a plurality of second controlled devices, such as remote digital receiver/tuners that demodulate said signals to output music in stereophonic sound and display the corresponding program information by means of an alphanumeric display. The first and second controlled devices contain microprocessor systems for communicating, controlling, storing, processing, and display of digital data within the operation of the respective system.

  • Patent number: 5784388
    Abstract: A system for decoding encoded data from the control channel of a trunked dispatch system, and for detecting the presence of subaudible handshake data on an assigned voice channel of the trunked dispatch system. The decoder includes a de-interleave, an auto synchronization sequence combiner, and a table lookup error detector to recover the transmitted information and also indicates whether any errors are present in the recovered information. The subaudible handshake detector includes a comparator/limiter, a data sampler, a pattern matcher, and a signal/noise discriminator to indicate the presence of the subaudible handshake on an assigned voice channel of the trunked dispatch system.
