  • Patent number: 11582504
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a signal output circuit applying bandwidth broadening mechanism for an image signal transmission apparatus that includes a first driving circuit and a second driving circuit. The first driving circuit includes a continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) and is configured to receive a digital input signal to perform a high frequency enhancement thereon to increase a bandwidth of the digital input signal to generate a first output signal, in which a zero point and two poles of a frequency response of the first driving circuit are determined by circuit parameters thereof. The second driving circuit is configured to receive and amplify the first output signal to generate a second output signal for an image receiving apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9082526
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide shielded cables for reducing the incidence of ground loops between connected electronic devices. According to one aspect of the present invention, a shielded cable is disclosed having two inner shield segments and an outer shield. The inner shield segments can each be grounded, but are physically separated from each other by a gap. The external shield is not grounded, and serves to contain EMI generated by signal conductors within the shielded cable and shield the signal conductors against external electrical events.

  • Patent number: 9048521
    Abstract: A broadband waveguide incorporates various reflection suppression techniques to reduce reflections in signals communicated thereby. The waveguide includes one or more filaments that each include a first and second end. A first matrix may be configured proximate the first end(s) while a second matrix may be configured proximate an intermediate location between the first and second ends. A damping material may cover a portion of the filament(s) that extends from the second matrix to the second end(s) (including the second end(s) themselves) and/or the second end(s) of the filament(s) is/are shaped to at least partially suppress reflections of the signal therefrom. When configured with multiple filaments, at least two of the filaments may have differing lengths that extend from the second matrix and also operate to at least partially suppress reflections of a signal.

  • Patent number: 8154509
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide an electronic paper display system that can include an electronic paper and the writing device. The writing device transmits power and baseband signals by using an electromagnetic coupling between a coil of the writing device and a coil of the electronic paper. The baseband signals, which are encoded by the writing device, are decoded by a decoder of the electronic paper and fed to the control circuit to illustrate images on a bi-stable display unit. The electronic paper has a power storage that temporarily stores power transmitted by using electromagnetic coupling for absorbing fluctuation of power in both transmission and consumption. The asynchronous design of this invention brings both robustness and low-power consumption.

  • Patent number: 4920233
    Abstract: A cable for use in carrying electrical signals in the audio frequency range. The cable includes an elongate metallic core which can be positioned at the center of the cable. In the case of the coaxial cable, a sleeve of a dielectric material is positioned about the core and a metallic shield is located outwardly of the sleeve and coaxially with the core. The cable also includes a layer formed of ferrite positioned between the sleeve and the shield which substantially increases the inductance of the cable without a corresponding substantial increase in the energy loss so that the cable exhibits substantially constant phase velocity characteristics across the audio frequency band. The ferrite layer can be formed by a series of discrete ferrite sleeves or the ferrite layer might be formed by an extruded thermoplastic having a high loading of ferrite powder. A method of using the cable is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4638272
    Abstract: A lossy transmission line in which the effective length of the line is reduced by providing resistive ferrite beads spaced along the line to provide constant power loss per unit length. Inductance ferrite beads may be included equally spaced along the line. Resistive beads are located with increasing frequency per unit length from the beginning of the line until a maximum bead density per unit length is achieved. The lossy line is suitable as a terminating unit for a portable travelling wave antenna and in other situations where size reduction is desirable.

  • Patent number: 4413240
    Abstract: There is disclosed an automatic line buildout circuit which includes in its signal path two variable filters, each implemented by a transconductance operational amplifier circuit. Each filter exhibits a transfer function pole with a frequency which is directly related to a control current applied to that filter. At a point in the signal path after the two variable filters, there is a peak detector which provides an output level proportional to the peak amplitude of the signal in the path, and therefore proportional to the cable length. From the peak detector output level, there is derived for each of the variable filters a control current, related to the output level by a preselected function. For each variable filter, the associated function expresses the relation between cable length and the filter cutoff frequency which is required for proper equalization.

  • Patent number: 4027259
    Abstract: In a system employing half-span preemphasis of transmitted signals on a cable pair telephone line, equalization is accomplished in a circuit arrangement including first and second complementary constant-resistance networks having the input impedances thereof in the emitter and collector circuits, respectively, of a common emitter amplifier. These impedances control the feedback and gain of the amplifier such that their effects are additive in a particular manner in the collector-output circuit thereof. The terminating resistances of the networks are the resistances produced by a pair of differentially controlled thermistors. A DC error signal that is proportional to line length controls the current driving the thermistors and thus the resistances thereof. When the circuit arrangement is at half-span spacing, a difference circuit causes the terminating resistances of the thermistors to be the same values, which make the impedance characteristics of the networks such that the net gain of the amplifier is flat.
