Abstract: A method of reducing distortion in the output of an amplifier is provided. The method comprises subtractively combining baseband error signals with the appropriate phase shift with baseband input signals, the baseband error signals generated by subtractively combining delayed fed-forward portions of the baseband input signals with baseband converted portions of a fed-back amplified output signal, the amplified output signal being a distorted replica of combined up-converted baseband input signals. The baseband error signals being filtered prior to the combining function, and also providing inputs to a controller which adjusts active elements of the amplification and fed-back paths in order to minimize the distortion within the output of the amplifier.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for facilitating the mounting components of a modular system involving a plurality of separate components that are required operationally to interrelate relative to each other when in use so that the relative setting of such components in vertical, horizontal and/or annular orientations with respect to the datum direction is facilitated. A main unit is adapted for mounting to a column support, the main unit being adapted for mounting said components by way of a connection arrangement enabling relative displacement and relative angular setting of the components relative to the base unit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for limiting the effect of interfering transmission on a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver is disclosed. A first mode of operation of the GPS receiver is provided wherein the AGC of the receiver is operated in a linear state. A second mode of operation of the GPS receiver is provided wherein the AGC of the receiver is operated in a non-linear state. A first signal is provided indicating a presence of a jamming signal. In response to the first signal the GPS receiver is switched from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation.
