摘要： A receiver for detecting spread spectrum binary data particularly on a power line in the presence of channel distortion. In one embodiment a standard pattern ideally suited for minimal distortion in the channel is used in conjunction with an alternate pattern which is developed to better detect carrier and data in the presence of certain channel distortion. The receiver switches between the standard and alternate pattern to provide improved detection. In another embodiment an adaptive pattern is used which is developed from the receive signal. For instance, the signal over several bit times is averaged to provide a pattern which is correlated with a receive signal.

摘要： A transmitting box is connected to a first electrical outlet in a building. The phase of the first electrical outlet is used as the reference phase. The transmitter box senses each of the zero-cross-overs of the reference phase and injects a data packet of the data carrier frequency at each zero-cross-over. A receiving box is connected to a second electrical outlet in the building. The second electrical outlet has an unknown phase which may be different from the reference phase. The receiver box receives each data packet and senses each phase zero-cross-over of the unknown phase. The receiver box uses the time between each reception of a data packet and each detection of an unknown phase zero-cross-over to determine the phase angle of the unknown phase relative to the reference phase.

摘要： A method and apparatus for resolving connection conflicts in a network is provide. A network connection point on a node cannot be added to a first network connection when it already belongs to a second network connection. When a particular configuration would otherwise violate this rule, a network connection point on the node is established as an alias to the network connection point. The alias network connection point is added to the first network connection. A correlation is established between the alias network connection point and the network variable that is associated with the network connection point. If the network variable is an input network variable, then the value of the network variable is updated responsive to messages received on either the first or the second connection. If the network variable is an output network variable, then messages are sent over both the first and second connections when the network variable is updated. The correlation between the alias network connection point and the network variable may be established through tables in the apparatus, or through the use of an alias variable defined in the same application as the network variable.

摘要： An apparatus for snubbing or blanking digital signals representing a band of signals that includes an encoded carrier signal transmitted over a power line. An average signal level is compared with the instantaneous signal level to develop a blanking circuit control signal. Additionally, snubbing occurs in the circuit which determines the average signal level to prevent noise from building-up the average signal level. A hold-off signal is used in this circuit to prevent the average signal level from being latched permanently low. A unique infinite impulse filter subtracts out the D.C. offset thereby improving the dynamic range of the blanking. Additionally, the average signal level is used by AGC logic to control the gain at the front end of the apparatus. The state and switching of the AGC is controlled to minimize errors.

摘要： A power line communication (PLC) apparatus wherein a carrier is derived to avoid determinable interference harmonics. In order to transmit data on a power line containing the television interference or other determinable interference harmonics, the present invention uses redundant carriers at a frequency between the television interference harmonics. In the preferred embodiment, the first carrier is positioned at 118 KHz and the redundant carrier is positioned at 133.7 KHz for the PLC apparatus designed for use in the United States. Other carrier frequencies are used for other countries in order to avoid interference harmonics at a slightly different frequency. The present invention includes a waveshaping and modulation circuit for generating the modulated data waveform for output over the power line. In the preferred embodiment, the waveshaping and modulation circuit includes a waveshape ROM for storing samples that represent the appearance of the carrier waveshape. Once the appropriate waveshape is selected from the waveshape ROM, the 256 discrete points of the waveshape are clocked out an interface line to a DAC, a filter, an amplifier and on to a PLC coupling network for isolating and coupling the signal onto the power line. On the receive side, receive filters are used to separate the received data from determinable interference harmonics. These filters comprise four matched filters, two for each channel. These filters operate in cooperation with the waveshaping and modulation circuitry in order to capture the signals modulated between determinable interference harmonics such as television interference harmonics.

摘要： A method and apparatus for power line communications which utilizes common mode transmission and reception of communication signals over power lines. The communication signals are sent and received between the power and neutral lines, and the ground line. A common mode choke in the power lines presents a relatively high impedance to the communication signals and prevents them from being shorted to the ground line. The choke is substantially transparent to the power delivery current.

摘要： In a power line communications apparatus an improvement for blanking or snubbing impulse noise. The impulse noise is detected and used to snub the detected signal. The duration of the snubbing pulses is controlled to assure complete blanking of noise including the trailing noise signals following a main noise pulse which may not otherwise be detectable. Also, the number of snubbing pulses which can occur are limited to prevent too much energy from being snubbed during any given baud period.
