摘要： A receiver for a unique word sequence or a spreading code sequence includes a memory which is preloaded with all possible phases of the code. The sequence in the received signal is correlated, in parallel, with sums of various ones of the different phases of the code. Thus, the received code is correlated with all possible phases of a replica of its own code. Consequently, one of the sums will exhibit a correlation peak, which indicates that the desired phase of the code is included in that particular sum. The other sums will not exhibit a correlation peak, and are is discarded. The different phases in the one sum which displayed correlation are divided into new sums, each having fewer phases, and the correlation is again performed. Again, those sums exhibiting no correlation are discarded, and the sum exhibiting correlation is divided into sums of fewer codes.

摘要： A system for spread spectrum power line communications employs a harmonic modulation (HM) transmitter coupled to the power line for transmitting message bits to an HM receiver. The spread spectrum accommodates a plurality of HM transmitters simultaneously occupying the same bandwidth. The spectrum of HM, in a frequency range above 60 Hz but below the maximum frequency that will carry through a distribution transformer, is ideal in combating carrier synchronous noise since it can be interleaved with the noise harmonics and therefore be effectively spectrally disjoint with the synchronous noise process spectrum.

摘要： In a time division multiple access spacecraft communication system, each ground station determines when to send its information packets to arrive at the spacecraft at the beginning of a time slot. The calculation is based upon knowledge of the location of the spacecraft. A master ground station determines the location of the spacecraft by the use of the propagation delays between the various ground stations (including itself) and the spacecraft, together with knowledge of the locations of the ground stations. The spacecraft location is then transmitted back to the various ground stations. The determination of propagation delay by each ground station is performed in two major steps. The first step determines coarse time delay to within one bit interval by repeatedly transmitting a multibit unique word to the spacecraft, and counting bits until the next unique word is received from the spacecraft. To determine fine propagation delay, a high-frequency clock signal is counted from the time of transmission of each bit edge until the reception of the next bit edge. The sum of the coarse and fine delays, together with a plurality of frame intervals, establishes the range to the spacecraft.

摘要： A system for communicating digital information over wires having a great deal of harmonic distortion, such as a power line, employs a transmitter which transmitter which creates a carrier wave for each of a plurality of signals to be sent. This carrier wave has frequency lobes positioned between the frequency lobes of the harmonic distortion. Each of the lobes of a single carrier signal is encoded with the same bit value during a given bit period. This signal is then mixed with any existing signal on the wire. At a remote receiver coupled to the wires, the signal is sensed, filtered, and Fourier transformed into coefficients. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of each Fourier coefficient is determined by a novel S/N estimation technique. The coefficients are weighted based upon the S/N ratio estimation, and decoded, preferably by an inner product of the weighted Fourier coefficients. Additionally, the S/N ratio estimates could be time averaged before being used in the weighting and bit decoding.

摘要： A method allows determination of the presence of, the frequency of, and or the timing of a coded signal distributed in time, as for example a direct-sequence spread-spectrum signal or a signal having a coded header. According to the method, the received signal is correlated (16, 216, 316) with small sections of the spreading or header code, to produce partial correlations, as for example a 1024-chip spreading code is correlated in eight- or sixteen-chip portions. The result of each partial correlation is delayed (32, 232, 332/350) by an amount which results in temporal congruence or simultaneous occurrence of the partial correlations at a Doppler processor. The processor processes the simultaneous partial correlations, to produce signals which recur in the appropriate frequency bin at the recurrence rate of the spreading code. The frequency bin identifies the frequency of the received signals, and the time of the appearance of the signals at the bins is indicative of the time.

摘要： A control system for the uplink transmitter of a ground station communicating with a spacecraft includes an antenna located at the ground station, pointed toward the spacecraft for receiving downlink signals transmitted therefrom. The received signals are accompanied by noise attributable to ambient, sky and ground temperatures. A low-noise receiver is coupled to the output port of the antenna, for establishing the receiver noise temperature. A processor is coupled to the low-noise receiver apparatus and to the power control input port of the uplink transmitter, for responding to changes in the received noise power attributable to the presence or absence of precipitation in the downlink. The processor does this by producing an estimate of the attenuation attributable to the rain in the downlink, and generates the control signal in response to the estimate of the attenuation. The control signal increases the signal power of the uplink transmitter in response to increases in the estimate of the rain attenuation, and decreases the signal power of the uplink transmitter in response to decreases in the estimate of the rain attenuation. The processor determines the downlink rain attenuation L.sub.a,D by L.sub.a,D f(.DELTA.N.sub.R)=T.sub.eff /(1+T.sub.eff -.DELTA.N.sub.R) where T.sub.eff =(T.sub.amb -T.sub.sky)/(T.sub.LNA +T.sub.g +T.sub.sky)

摘要： A communications system includes first and second ground stations and a spacecraft repeater. Data signals are transmitted between ground stations by way of the repeater, together with spread-spectrum ranging signals. Uplink rain attenuation is compensated for changing the transmitted power at the ground stations. The amount of downlink attenuation is determined by measuring the total carrier-to-noise ratio in three paths, station 1 to station 2, station 2 to station 1, and station 1 to station 1. With these three values of total attenuation, the two downlink attenuations and the number of active signals traversing the repeater can be determined. The downlink attenuations are converted to uplink attenuations, and used to control the transmitters.
