  • Digital phase locked loop
    Patent number: 5502751
    Abstract: A digital oscillator is synchronized to a master clock by comparing the master clock to an output of the digital oscillator by providing both to a first register which enables a counter. The counter increments while enabled until cleared. The output of the counter is then compared with a stored signal. Depending upon the match with the stored signal, the output of the digital oscillator is either slowed, advanced or maintained. The output from the digital oscillator is then fed back to an input of the digital phase locked loop.

  • Apparatus and method for encoding data
    Patent number: 5222141
    Abstract: A first bit of the communication signal is encrypted and forwarded to a CRC where it is processed in parallel with the encryption of the second bit. The first bit is then passed to the scrambler and the second bit is passed to the CRC where they are processed in parallel with a third bit which is encrypted. This process continues until the last bit is scrambled.
