The oversampling device receives an input digital non-coherent frequency shift signal, and examines for transitions therein, and thereby generating data bit signals in the form of logic high level ‘1’ or logic low level ‘0’ accordingly.

Abstract: A multivalued FSK modulation system is provided in which when data to be transmitted is multivalued and transmitted/received, the detection level is different every symbol. When a two-valued signal is transmitted as one symbol, data (11), (01), (00) and (10) are previously set to be, for example, a shift of −6, a shift of +6, a shift of +2, and a shift of −2, respectively. When data to be input next is (00), mapping is performed so as to provide a sign weight of +2 from the sign weight at the position of current data. When the data to be input next is (10), mapping is performed so as to provide a sign weight of −2 from the position of the current sign weight. Thus, even if data of the same level is input, signals can be always detected in different levels, so that the sign detection point is not specified erroneously.

Abstract: A phase modulator for direct wideband linear phase modulation of a microwave continuous wave carrier signal which is suitable for many analog and digital phase or frequency modulation techniques. Linear phase modulation range in excess of 360 degrees is provided as a result of linear variation in the modulating signal.

Abstract: An impulse radio communications system using one or more subcarriers to communicate information from an impulse radio transmitter to an impulse radio receiver. The impulse radio communication system is an ultrawide-band time domain system. The use of subcarriers provides impulse radio transmissions added channelization, smoothing and fidelity. Subcarriers of different frequencies or waveforms can be used to add channelization of impulse radio signals. Thus, an impulse radio link can communicate many independent channels simultaneously by employing different subcarriers for each channel. The impulse radio uses modulated subcarrier(s) for time positioning a periodic timing signal or a coded timing signal. Alternatively, the coded timing signal can be summed or mixed with the modulated subcarrier(s) and the resultant signal is used to time modulate the periodic timing signal. Direct digital modulation of data is another form of subcarrier modulation for impulse radio signals.

Abstract: The present invention provides an FSK modulation circuit and technique that controls a prescaler to generate an FSK output. In particular, a VCO output is sent to a prescaler controlled by a modulus control signal. The modulus control signal contains a series of pulses having a first duty cycle to effect a mark frequency and a second duty cycle to effect a space frequency. During a given cycle, the prescaler divides the VCO output frequency by two different divisors. The resulting frequency is compared with a reference frequency using a phase detector. Changing the duty cycle of the modulus control signal controlling the prescaler causes the VCO to provide a corresponding, synthesized frequency from the VCO for FSK modulation.

Abstract: A frequency shift modulation circuit has a direct digital synthesizer DDS and a phase-locked loop PLL. DDS stores output signal frequency data in a plurality of registers. DDS selects the register storing the frequency data in accordance with a frequency shift keying FSK data signal whose voltage was controlled by a comparator. A signal output from DDS is input to PLL. PLL generates a signal whose phase is synchronized with the signal supplied from DDS, and outputs a frequency shift signal having a shift amount corresponding to the digital value of the FSK data signal. The FSK data signal is input via a balance adjustor to PLL so that a large frequency shift is possible. Since the frequency data is set to DDS, a stable modulation even for a low frequency is possible. In this manner, the frequency of an output signal can be stably shifted.

Abstract: A method of communicating FSK-modulated Caller ID signals through a network incompatible to the transmission of these signals is presented. A first network component couples between the incompatible network and a Central Office, and a second network component couples between the incompatible network and the telephone. In one embodiment, the call flow proceeds until the second network component would ring the line of the called party. The second network component seizes the line but does not apply a ringing signal. The second network component continues with the call flow as though the second network component had entered the silent interval after the first ring cycle at the called party. Subsequently, the CO transmits the FSK Caller ID information to the first network component which detects the FSK transmission and converts it into an out-of-band message and transmits the out-of-band message over the incompatible network to the second network component.

Abstract: In a broadband multicarrier modulator, all processing within a modulator is replaced by a pre-computed table so that a modulated signal can be produced as a function of the modulating signal merely by reading the table. The carrier frequency of the modulator is even programmable. The size of the pre-computed table is reduced by using an automation. With this automation the address for reading the table at a given time depends on preceding values of the modulating signal. By reading the table on a time sharing basis it is even possible, with a single modulator, to perform the work of several modulators. A multicarrier modulator is then easily implemented.
