14 Claims. 1
This invention relates to radio impulse systems and more particularly to systems for receiving and filtering or discriminating between impulses of different width characteristics.
In the case of impulse transmission where the impulses are modulated for transmission of intelligence or transmitted for obstacle detection purposes, additional impulses may be imposed upon the carrier wave by an enemy to interfere and jam the impulse transmission. Additional impulses differing in character such as width may be added to the carrier Wave to confuse the enemy and render it diflicult for him to determine which of the impulses of the wave carries intelligence or is used for obstacle detection purposes. Then again the transmitting system may be arranged to transmit a series of differently shaped impulses each representing a different channel of intelligence. In other words, each series of impulses may distinguish from the other series in width or some other characteristic, and be modulated with a different intelligence thereby providing plural channel transmission.
Where impulses carrying intelligence are transmitted at a given frequency or in a given time relationship, interfering or-additional impulses, except in the case of superposition, can be eliminated by blocking. A system providing such blocking to eliminate unwanted impulses is disclosed in my copending application Serial No. 386,282, filed April 1, 1941. Should the impulses carrying intelligence be transmitted at irregular timing, this frequency or time selection method of blocking is not entirely satisfactory.
It is an object of this invention, therefore, to provide a method and means to selectively lter a wave modulated with impulses differing in a characteristic such as Width so as to eliminate all impulses differing from a given width.
The method of this invention comprises, for example, iirst time differentiating the pulse modulated wave to obtain a first series of pulses made up of pulses of a given polarity such as positive corresponding to the leading edges of the impulses and pulses of opposite polarity such as negative corresponding to the trailing edges thereof. I then produce a second series of pulses, including at least pulses of negative polarity, one each disposed from one of the positive pulses of the rst series a time interval equal to a given Width impulse the detection of which is desired. This second series of pulses is combined with the positive and negative pulses of the first series. Since the negative pulses of the second series coincide with the negative pulses produced from different methods.
the wanted impulses, they add resulting in a pulse having an amplitude equal to the sum of the coinciding pulses. The resulting pulse energy is clipped at a threshold level selected beyond the amplitude of the pulses before the combining operation so as to obtain a pulse output in accordance with the occurrence of the impulses wanted for detection.
The second series of pulses may be produced by One of the methods may comprise producing a series of impulses of the given width in synchronism with the positive pulses and then differentiating the series of impulses of given width thereby producing a second series of alternate positive and negative pulses,
the latter of which are the negative pulses to be combined with the negativepulses of the rst series.
Another method of producing the pulses of negative polarity comprises inverting the first series of positive and negative pulses and then retarding for a time interval equal to the width of the selected impulses the pulses thus inverted. The retarded pulses are combined with the positive and negativeA pulse energy of the first series so that inverted positive pulses add to the negative pulses of those impulses having the width of the selected impulse. A subsequent clipping operation at an amplitude level beyond the amplitude of the pulses before the combining operation produces a pulse output corresponding to the occurrence of the pulses of the desired Width. The inversion of the original negativepulses will provide additional positive pulses in the combining operation, but since the clipping occurs on the negative side of the wave, the
addition of pulses on the positive side doesnt matter.
For a better understanding of the method,
40 reference may be had to the following detailed description of systems by which the method may be practiced, to be read in connection 'with the accompanying drawings, in which;
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an impulse filtering system in accordance with this invention;
Fig. 2 is a schematic wiring diagram of the system shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a graphical illustration of the steps performed by the system shown in Figs. 1 and 2;
Fig. 4 is a block diagram of another system by Which the method of this invention may be practiced, and;
Fig. 5 is a graphical illustration of the steps performed by the system shown in Fig. 4.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, an impulse moduimpulses A, B, C, and D. The desired impulse or' channel to be detected may be represented by the impulse width A. It may also be assumed that lthe impulses A occur irregularly so that frequency and time selection by blocking is not a satisfactory method of eliminating the unwanted impulses B, C and D.
The impulses of the wave I2 are first diiferentiated with respect to time by a differentiating circuit I4 comprising a condenser I4a and a resistor I4b. This results in the production of a1` ternate positive and negative pulses Ai and A2, B1 and B2, etc., for each of the impulses of the wave I2. Energy of the positive and negative pulses thus produced is applied to a multi-vibrator I6 in which the cathodes of the tube circuits thereof are provided with a variable resistor I1 whereby the multi-vibrator is adjustable to produce im pulses I8 of a given width in response to each of the positive pulses A1, Bi, etc. By adjusting the resistor Il to a desired value, the multi-vibrator is adapted to be triggered from one state of operation bythe positive pulses to another state ofA operation, and due to the biasing of the resistor 'I'I to reurn to the first state of operation a given time interval after the triggering thereof. This produces impulses I8 of a desired width and for the present illustration a width is selected equal to the width of the wanted impulses A.
The multi-vibrator outlet I9 is connected to a differentiating circuit comprising a, condenser 20a and a resistor 20h. This produces alternate positive and negative pulses I8a and I8b as indicated in Fig. 3. The positive and negative pulses A1 and A2, etc., and the-pulses |811 and I 8b, etc., are combined in a circuit 22 having a vacuum tube 23 which preferably is a pentode. The pentode circuit 22 is arranged so that the energy of the two series of pulses is mixed and the pulses coinciding in time are combined, and the resulting enery thereof is permittedto pass through the anode connection 25 when the combining Apulse energy exceeds a predetermined amplitude determined by the biasing of the tube circuit. The combining action of the circuit is illustrated by the curve 30. It will be readily observed that where the impulses A occur the negative pulses Az and I8 combine to produce a pulse 3| which is of greater amplitude than the uncombined pulses. The positive pulses A1 and it, B1 and I8'. etc., of course, combine to produce pulses 32 of amplitude similar to the amplitude of the negative pulses 3|. Since it is desirable to obtain pulses corresponding to the pulses A only, a threshold clipping operation as indicated by the line 34 produces a pulse output 35 which corresponds with the occurrence of the impulses A. It will thus be apparent that by my method the unwanted impulses B, C and D are eliminated and pulses corresponding to the wanted impulses A are obtained. Should the impulses A be modulated in time displacement the pulse output 35 will contain the displacement and the intelligence ,represented by the modulation can be obtained by known means.
Any desired impulse width may be selectively obtained .by the system by proper adjustmentof the biasing resistor I'I.
4 width is obtained by adding .to pulses corresponding to the trailing edge of the desired impulse other energy of 'the same polarity. In the example given, the trailing edge is indicated by a negative pulse and therefore the added pulse is also negative. trailing edge is positive in polarity the added pulse must be of the same polarity.
Referring to Figs. 4 and 5, another system is shown by which the method of this invention may be practiced. To illustrate that the impulses of the modulated wave source may vary in shape other than width and yet be filtered for a given width pulse only, I have shown a wave 40 with impulses E, F, G and H which vary in shape, amplitude and width. Most transmitting means, however, provide substantially constant amplitude impulses and impulses which vary in the manner shown in Fig. 5 are not usually transmitted by one system. This wave form, however, is shown for purposes of illustrating' that pulses of a given Width may be filtered in accordance with this invention either by the system shown in Figs. 1 to 3 or Figs. 4 and 5 regardless of the other characteristics thereof. Assuming that the impulses E are the wanted pulses, the system will be adjusted to select pulses of a time duration corresponding to the width of the impulses E. 'Ihis is accomplished by providing the system with a vmade negative and the negative pulses are made positive. These inverted pulses are then retarded in accordance with the adjustment of the delay device 45 so that the inverted pulses assume a time relation indicated by the pulses Eix, Ezx and Fix, etc., in curve 45. The energy of the inverted and retarded pulses is then mixed and combined as the case may be with energy of the positive and negative pulses produced at the output of the differentiating device 43 in a combining device 41 similar to the circuit 22 of Fig. 2. The device 41 is biased so that the resulting energy is threshold clipped on the negative side of the wave as indicated by the line 48. This produces output pulses Eo corresponding to the wanted impulses E.
While I have described above the principles of the method of my invention and two specific systems for' practicing the method, it will be clearly understood that this description is made only by' Way of vexample and not as a limitation on the scopeof my invention as set forth in the objects thereof and the appended claims..
