A network including a bus through which data is transmitted and a plurality of network devices connected to the bus to form the network. In the network, at least one of the network devices performs measurement at timings in a predetermined cycle T and outputs data concerning the measurement result on the bus. Another network device detects the cycle T in which the data concerning the measurement result is output, performs measurement at the timings in the predetermined cycle T, and outputs the m…

The present invention relates to a divider network for dividing an HF signal into n output signals of the same power and phase at the same impedance as the input, where n is a positive integer greater than 1. Each of the n signals is fed to an output port. Each of the output ports has associated therewith a transformer. Each of the ports is connected to ground via at least one winding of the transformer. Each of the ports is connected to a common point by a winding of the transformer so that eac…

In a switching network having cross-points constituted by semiconductor switch elements of four-layer structure of PNPN, communication channels are connected in an unbalanced configuration, and all vertical or column buses and horizontal or row buses constituting the switching matrix are individually grounded through respective capacitors, whereby the semiconductor switch elements are inhibited from erroneous firings due to application of voltages having a high raise-up rate such as high frequen…

The instant invention relates to a unique logic network whereby data into and out of the memory array of a specialized digital computer will be permuted such that the data will maintain a convenient and consistent order on a data interface. The network may be constructed using commonly-available n-channel data selectors. Fundamentally, the invention functions in conjunction with a digital computer memory array whose data storage pattern is such that accesses to the stored data may be made in wor…

A linearizing circuit is described which gives a nonlinear relation between an input and an output signal of the circuit. Such a circuit can be used to compensate for the nonlinearity in, for example, a frequency modulator. The circuit includes a nonlinear element, preferably a PIN-diode connected in a voltage divider to provide a biasing current to the element. An attenuating and an amplifying circuit are connected to the input and to the output, respectively, of the circuit. By varying the val…

An RC network is disclosed in which two electrically conducting regions and a dielectric lying between these regions form a capacitor. At least one of the electrically conducting regions consists of resistance material and is designed in the shape of a meandering path. This network can be balanced while still guaranteeing a uniform region distribution of the resistance and the capacitance, by means of a laser beam. Upon a carrier of heat-resistant material, a resistance layer, a dielectric of gl…
