Abstract:
A transmitter (100 or 300) and receiver (205 or 305) for use in a data transmission system are disclosed. In order to provide reliable communication, data to be transmitted is both encoded and encrypted. An EXCLUSIVE OR operation is utilized for encryption and decryption of the data.
Abstract:
An acknowledge back (ack-back) paging system (100) is provided which includes a central station (110) which transmits a group of message signals to a group of ack-back pagers (121, 122,...) which are addressed as a group. The users of the group of addressed ack-back pagers indicate a response to their respective pagers thus providing ack-back data. The pagers in the group of addressed ack-back pagers then simultaneously transmit back to the central station their ack-back signals using different respective pseudorandom codes, a different pseudorandom code being dynamically allocated to each of the pagers in the group.
Abstract:
A receiver (200) includes an automatic frequency controller that determines the frequency of a received signal (408), and calculates a frequency error (410) from the received signal. The frequency error is used to calculate a correction factor that is used to adjust the frequency (412) of an oscillator (308) in response to the determined error.

Abstract:
A satellite communication system (100) includes a satellite (102) in a predefined orbit projecting a plurality of beams (1-48) designating a coverage area (115). The satellite (102) has a communication device (200), a frequency synthesizer (222) for setting a frequency of the communication device for communicating via a beam of the plurality of beams (1-48) and a controller (216) coupled to the frequency synthesizer (222) for compensating for a Doppler frequency shift associated with the beam.
Abstract:
A satellite receiver system (400) provides acquisition and frequency tracking of a Doppler-shifted radio signal received from an orbiting satellite. The satellite receiver system (400) includes a Costas phase-lock loop (100) that receives the radio signal and provides an error signal at an error signal output (134) for controlling a conversion frequency generated by a voltage controlled oscillator (200). The voltage controlled oscillator (200) is coupled to the Costas phase-lock loop (100) and generates the conversion frequency for down-converting the radio signal in the Costas phase-lock loop (100). The satellite receiver system (400) further includes a Doppler frequency acquisition and tracking element (300) coupled to the voltage controlled oscillator (200). The Doppler frequency acquisition and tracking element (300) adjusts the conversion frequency to compensate for a Doppler frequency shift occuring in the radio signal due to orbital motion of the orbiting satellite.
Abstract:
Le dispositif de recherche de personnes avec rétro-accusé de réception (121, 122, ...) est utilisé dans un système de recherche de personnes (100) lequel comprend une station centrale (110) qui transmet un groupe de signaux de message à un groupe de dispositifs de recherche de personnes avec rétro-accusé de réception (121, 122, ...) qui sont adressés en tant que groupe. Les utilisateurs du groupe de dispositifs de recherche de personnes adressés (121, 122, ...) indiquent une réponse à leurs dispositifs de recherche de personnes respectifs, fournissant ainsi des données de rétro-accusé de réception. Les dispositifs de recherche de personnes (121, 122, ...) dans le groupe de dispositifs de recherche de personnes avec rétro-accusé de réception adressés (121, 122, ...) transmettent en retour simultanément à la station centrale (110) leur données de rétro-accusé de réception sur des sous-bandes de fréquence différentes, une sous-bande de fréquence différente étant affectée à chacun des dispositifs de recherche de personnes (121, 122, ...) dans le groupe. L'invention concerne également un appareil permettant de commander la fréquence de la sous-bande sélectionnée avec une très grande précision.

Abstract:
A combination radio paging receiver and radio telephone (40) includes a receiver (214) for receiving paging signals provided from a paging terminal (32), a decoder (216) for decoding the paging sgnals to recover a page, and a controller (220) for determining whether the page requests an acknowledge back signal. A radio telephone section (205) couples the controller (220) to a radio telephone system (15) to form a radio telephone link with the paging terminal (32) for communicating the acknowledge back signal to the paging terminal (32) via the radio telephone link in response to determining that the page requests the acknowledge back signal (304).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus in a data communication receiver (100) for diversity reception of a radio signal including a predictably repetitive, predetermined data bit pattern (304) comprises a processor (114) controlling (600) an antenna switch (106) to select between a first antenna feed (102) and a second antenna feed (104) as a momentary source of the radio signal during transmissions of the predetermined data bit pattern (304). The radio signal received from the momentary source is monitored by a data receiver (110) during the transmission of the predetermined bit pattern (304) to derive the data therefrom, and at least one bit error count is determined (604, 610) by the processor (114). After completion of the predetermined bit pattern (304), an antenna feed (102, 104) for the radio signal is selected (616, 620) in response to the at least one bit error count.
