Abstract:
Remote control system for controlling radio at base station from remote point over single audio channel which provides voice signals between remote and base stations, and which does not require DC continuity and operates within a fixed maximum frequency. A short burst of high amplitude guard tone is applied over the channel from the remote station to the base station to actuate a control at the base station which renders the controls thereat operative and blocks transmission of audiosignals from the base station to the channel. The remote station then applies lower amplitude tones to the audiochannel to actuate controls at the base station, with guard tone being applied continuously at low level during application of audio signals from the remote station to the base station. The base station responds to termination of tone signals (or to disconnect tones) to provide disconnect action, reset the controls and permit the base station to apply signals to the audio channel.
Abstract:
A squelch circuit for a receiver wherein the detected signals at the discriminator are amplified and converted to pulses of constant period or width. The pulses are detected and used to develop a control voltage to actuate an audio or transmitter switch. A decrease in the noise signal due to the presence of a proper radio frequency signal will decrease the pulse rate, increase the control voltage and actuate the switches allowing the audio signal to pass through the audio stages of the receiver and activating an associated transmitter.

2055470 9014727 PCTABS00002 There is provided a scheme for centering data prior to detection. It comprises: determining carrier frequency error, and pre-adjusting the data detection process to compensate for that error throughout the ensuing data detection. This scheme for reliable multilevel data detection further comprises: upon detection of carrier (C2, R5, G1) presence, determining carrier frequency error, gating a voltage associated with the frequency error (R1, R3, C1) to the differential amplification process to establish common mode rejection and compensating for that error throughout the ensuing multi-level data detection, and then analog-to-digital conversion of the differentially amplified multi-level data. A scheme for computationally centering the subsequent data detected (C3, R4) to compensate for the error is also provided.
Abstract:
BASE STATION FEEDBACK REPORTING SYSTEM The operational status of equipment located at a base station is reported to a remote control terminal. The same audio channel that is used for sending audio signals and control signals to the base station is also used to carry the report signal. The control signals to the base station and the report signals from the base station are encoded tone burst signals. The report signal provides an indication of the proper receipt and execution of a control signal by the base station equipment. Equipment diagnostic signal and periodic checks of equipment performance are also reported by this system.
