In four microstriplines disposed close such that they are coupled with each other, the left-hand end of the third microstripline serves as an input, the left-hand ends of the first and second microstriplines and the right-hand ends of the first and fourth microstriplines serve as outputs, and the right-hand end of the second microstripline and the left-hand end of the fourth microstripline are grounded.

In a logic cell, a plurality of gates are serially connected and responsive to signals on a plurality of conductors to perform a particular logic function. The gates are responsive to subsystem clock signals which control the operation of the gates to delay the output of the logic cell. The cell includes at least one ratioless gate, and at least one ratioed gate. The ratioless gates provide high speed and reduced size, while the ratioed gates provide low noise characteristics. In combination, th...

A semiconductor valve type converter for supplying single phase load current at power frequency from an N phase polyphase power system without unbalance of polyphase current or voltage comprises a transformer having KN secondary phase voltages displaced by 180/KN electrical degress (where K is an integer) and a bridge type thyristor network for connecting each secondary phase voltage source alternately to positive and negative network buses. The network buses are connected through a centertapped...

Phase correlator between a wave having a frequency of F sent out by an oscillator and a useful signal having the same frequency F and having a relative phase .phi..sub.0, comprising a first and a second modulator effecting the modulation of the useful signal having a high noise level by the wave out by the oscillator on the one hand through an adjustable phase-shifter of .phi. and on the other hand through the phase-shifter of .phi. followed by a fixed phase-shifter of .phi..sub.1, an adjusting ...

A reference carrier signal is combined with a phase modulated signal of the same basic frequency to generate an output signal the amplitude of which varies in accordance with the phase difference between the phase modulated signal and the reference carrier. The permissible modulation angle is increased by vectorally adding the phase modulated signal with a reference signal having a phase different from the comparison reference carrier. The vector sum signal is amplitude-limited so that the signa...

A latching ferrite phase shifter having a ferrite toroid is provided with inexpensive means for adjusting its magnetization to account for manufacturing inaccuracies and temperature changes. A small permanent magnet is mounted externally of the transmission line in which the ferrite is positioned. The permanent magnet applies parallel fields to the opposite sides of the toroid, selectively reducing magnetic flux density on one side.

The binary value of coded signals having opposite going transitions normally in the center of a bit cell, wherein the direction of the transition determines the binary value of the bit cell, is detected. The repetition rate of bit cells of a coded signal control the rate which a signal to be integrated is accumulated by an integrator. The integration duration is controlled by the length of the bit cell. The direction of integration is controlled by the direction of the center transition of each ...

A phase plug structure is described which is an intermediate element between a conventional fiber cone loudspeaker and an exponential horn. The purpose of the phase plug is to equalize acoustical path lengths and thereby minimize high-frequency cancellations caused by phase differences. The design of the phase plug is based upon an analysis of both low-frequency and high-frequency horn behavior. A usable bandwidth of four octaves is obtained over a sharply-defined angle of radiation. In accordan...

A procedure for synthesizing any prescribed differential phase shift by means of passive lumped element, minimum phase networks is outlined. In a first embodiment of the invention, the phase shifters are made of quadrature couplers. In a second embodiment of the invention, bridged-T phase shifters are employed.

VLF phase tracker apparatus for comparing phase of individual cycles of received signals with a reference tracked phase. If minimal noise is present, received phase is within close tolerance of the reference. If more than minimal noise is present, departure from the reference indicates noise contamination whereby receiver apparatus are blanked to eliminate noise perturbations.
