Abstract: A methodology is provided for processing carriers in a wireless application whereby the outputs of a multiplicity of modulated RF signal sources are combined into a single RF signal stream, that single RF signal stream being thereafter divided among the inputs of another multiplicity of RF power amplifiers. The outputs of that multiplicity of RF power amplifiers are then recombined, filtered and provided as an input to a transmission antenna.

Abstract: A low distortion amplifier circuit employing a main amplifier and a correction amplifier in a feed-forward loop, is particularly adapted for amplifying multi-tone signals. The main amplifier produces fundamental frequency power along with undesirable distortion products. The correction amplifier provides correction signals at the distortion product frequencies to cancel the distortion products of the main amplifier. In addition, the correction amplifier produces fundamental frequency power which is combined with the fundamental frequency power of the main amplifier, thereby increasing the amplifier circuit output power.

Abstract: A detector circuit is shown for detecting off-hook and dial pulse signals in a telephone system which, under the control of a ringing relay, reconfigures itself to provide ring-trip detection. The detection circuit includes a bridge which is responsive to circulating loop currents, while at the same time unresponsive to longitudinally balanced currents, and a two-stage voltage level detector circuit. An RC timing circuit is included between the two stages to insure that the detector is unresponsive to short duration pulses and, at the same time, once energized, will bridge over short duration interruptions of detected pulses.
