  • Apparatus and method for providing digital and/or bar graph displays of measured quantities
    Patent number: 4283723
    Abstract: A font of characters including a first set defined by dots and a second set outlined by dots and used as a cursor, and a plurality of characters each forming a line segment and combinable in differing quantities and types to form a bar graph presentation, measured characteristics being displayed by digital and bar graph presentations simultaneously and the bar graphs being variable in either or both directions from a reference point such as zero.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 29, 1979
    Date of Patent: August 11, 1981
    Assignee: Motorola Inc.
    Inventors: Robert H. Bickley, Thad J. Genrich
  • High power RF relay switch
    Patent number: 4249150
    Abstract: A reed relay having pin diodes connected in parallel therewith and forward biased for conduction when the reed relay is actuated, said pin diodes being reversed biased once the reed relay closes so that they are removed from the circuits.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 1979
    Date of Patent: February 3, 1981
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert H. Bickley, James E. Olivenbaum
  • Communication tuning system utilizing local oscillator frequency selection for maximum RF filter bandwidth and method thereof
    Patent number: 4234965
    Abstract: The local oscillator frequency in a communication tuning system is selected to either high side mix or low side mix as appropriate to place the local oscillator frequency and image frequency outside the bandpass range of the bandpass filter. This allows bandpass filters having a frequency range equal to approximately twice the IF frequency in a transmitter, and approximately four times the IF frequency in a receiver.

    Date of Patent: November 18, 1980
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert H. Bickley, Ronald C. Briggs, Ronald C. Jost
  • DC Coupled, wide band width high voltage modulator
    Patent number: 4230973
    Abstract: Apparatus for controlling the intensity of a display on a cathode ray tube wherein the control signals are DC through several megahertz and a control loop maintains the average value of the control signal on the grid of a cathode ray tube relatively constant. Low frequency and high frequency signals are applied to the tube through separate circuits which are coupled together to provide coincident high pass and low pass -3 db crossover points so that all control signals applied to the tube are substantially equal over the entire bandwidth.

  • Amplifier
    Patent number: 3984783
    Abstract: An amplifying circuit capable of providing the gain and linearity of Class A amplifier and power conversion efficiency of a Class B or C amplifier is provided. The circuit includes an amplifying device, such as a power transistor, and a biasing network that permits the device to operate in Classes A, B or C depending upon the amplitude of the input signal.
