Overmodulation Prevention Patents (Class 332/156)
  • Patent number: 9164134
    Abstract: A method and a system are provided for clock phase detection. A set of delayed versions of a first clock signal is generated. The set of delayed versions of the first clock is used to sample a second clock signal, producing a sequence of samples in a domain corresponding to the first clock signal. At least one edge indication is located within the sequence of samples.

  • Patent number: 7933320
    Abstract: A communication system using a length shift keying (LSK) modulation method provides a transmitter having a carrier signal generator for generating carrier signals, and a modulator for modulating lengths of the carrier signals from the carrier signal generator according to combinations of data bits, and a receiver having an integrator for calculating an energy value by integrating the carrier signal that corresponds to a data bit combination, and a data judgment unit for judging the data bit combination by comparing the energy value with a predetermined threshold value. Power is maintained without changing the bandwidth of a communication signal when the communication signal is modulated.

  • Publication number: 20090141817
    Abstract: A method that uses time-domain processing on a spectrally efficient digital modulation scheme to reduce the bandwidth expansion in envelope elimination and restoration (EER) amplifiers is disclosed. The method identifies and localizes sections of the signal responsible for the out of band emissions, or spectral regrowth, using a filter. The detected sections are flagged and extended to allow for introduction of a lower frequency transition in place of the extended section, thus reducing spectral regrowth from the output of an EER amplifier. The method is particularly useful for improving the quality of digital AM radio transmission.
