Abstract:
An apparatus and method for indicating sources of high error conditions, including out-of-range and interference conditions, to a user of a digital voice communication system. When the vocoder (206) of a communication unit (200, 450) silences due to high error conditions, a source of the high error conditions (e.g., out-of-range or interference) is determined based on the signal strength, and a source indicator (218, 220) is generated to inform the user of the source of the high error conditions. In one embodiment, where a repeater (400) is used, sources of high error conditions are detected both inbound to and outbound from the repeater. In an event of high error conditions on the inbound signal path (404), the repeater puts out a distinctive erasure (420, 422, 424) identifying the source. The communication unit (450) detects the erasure and generates a source indicator associated with the erasure. In the event of high error conditions on the outbound signal path, the communication unit determines the source based on the signal strength and generates an appropriate source indicator. By using distinctive source indicators (470, 472, 474, 476), the communication unit thereby informs the user of error conditions on the inbound or outbound path from the repeater.
Abstract:
CVSD modulation is detected by applying a digital signal containing CVSD information to a digital filter that is in the CVSD loop that includes a syllabic filter and a rule circuit. The digital filter includes voltage-operated switches that switch one of two voltages to a resistor network and thereby combine multiplication and digital filtering. The output of the digital filter is the output of the circuit.

Abstract:
Une modulation CVSD (delta a pente variable en continu) est detectee en appliquant un signal numerique contenant des informations CVSD sur un filtre numerique (12) qui est dans la boucle CVSD. Le filtre numerique comprend des commutateurs fonctionnant avec la tension (40) qui commutent l'une des deux tensions sur un reseau de resistances. La sortie du filtre numerique est controlee par un circuit de regle (18) qui commande un filtre syllabique (20) pour generer un signal qui est multiplie par la sortie du filtre numerique dans le multiplicateur (16). Le produit multiplie est ensuite filtre par le filtre (24) en un signal analogique CVSD.
