  • Position coded pulse communication system
    Patent number: 4764769
    Abstract: Pulse position coding is used to transmit several channels of data from a ground radar transmitter to a receiver in an airborne, remotely-piloted vehicle. The system is designed to ignore interfering pulses, especially those which are synchronized with the transmitter's PRF, by combining a number of noise reduction devices. These include the redundant transmission of address and channel information, the transmission of true and complemented data, the tracking of channels transmitted in a predetermined order, developing an interference count to recognize synchronous pulses, comparing data received for a given channel with data subsequently received for that channel, the use of windows around the expected positions of pulses, and the use of parity. There is also a novel programming arrangement which enables several programs to be stored in a reduced amount of memory space.
    Type: Grant
