121 | Switching arrangement for converting analog signals into digital signals and digital signals into analog signals | US751980 | 1976-12-20 | US4118697A | 1978-10-03 | Max Schlichte |
Apparatus for converting analog to digital signals and vice versa is described wherein a storage capacitor provided at an input of a codec operating in accordance with the iterative method and designed for receiving analog signals to be converted into digital signals is further connected either to a constant current generator or to the digital-to-analog converter of the codec for a period during which a voltage may be applied to the capacitor which correponds to a digital signal that is to be converted into an analog signal and that has been applied to the digital-to-analog converter. A two-wire circuit transmitting analog signals in both directions of transmission is connected to the storage capacitor. The resonance-exchange-of-charge method is used for the transmission of the analog signals. | ||||||
122 | Reversible analog-to-digital converter | US715864 | 1976-08-19 | US4112427A | 1978-09-05 | Ernst Hofer; Peter Hirschmann; Klaus Wintzer |
A method and apparatus for a telecommunication installation is disclosed for converting PAM analog signals into PCM digital signals and vice versa. A conversion circuit which is connected to a telephone station comprises an input register for temporarily storing the incoming PCM digital signals and an output register for temporarily storing the outgoing PCM digital signals. This conversion circuit includes a clock pulse generator which enables a counter to count through all its counter positions upon the appearance of each channel time slot pulse of the incoming PCM channel time slot pulse train. The input register and counter are connected to an intermediate register which in turn is connected to a digital-to-analog converter for converting the incoming PCM digital signal into an analog signal. This analog signal is sent to the receiving unit of the telephone station in a first time interval of the counter. The conversion circuit also comprises an analog comparator which is connected to the transmitting unit of the telephone station for receiving PAM analog signals. This PAM analog signal is converted into a digital signal in the intermediate register during a second time interval of the counter. The converted analog signal is then fed to the output register to be sent to the PCM switching center. Thus, the conversion circuit of this invention is time shared for use in converting both digital and analog signals. | ||||||
123 | Reversible analog to digital converter | US709125 | 1976-07-27 | US4056820A | 1977-11-01 | Ernst Hofer |
A switching arrangement for converting analog signals into digital signals, and vice versa, is described. Conversions between pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) and pulse code modulated (PCM) signals are performed. In telecommunication systems having subscriber stations equipped to transmit and receive analog signals it is necessary to carry out these conversions to facilitate PCM transmission. An analog to digital converter is thus provided at each subscriber station for converting received digital signals into analog signals and analog signals to be transmitted into digital signals; the converter utilizes the iterative principle. | ||||||
124 | Overlap PCM coder/decoder with reaction time compensation | US687624 | 1976-05-19 | US4034294A | 1977-07-05 | James Edwin Dalley |
A PCM coder/decoder circuit is disclosed employing a counter that counts clock pulses until a transmitting ramp voltage equals that of an outgoing speech sample. The encoded count is transmitted in complemented form to the distant station where it is eventually entered into a counter similar to that of the transmitting station. Clock pulses are then applied to the receiving counter until a carry is generated at which time a receiving ramp waveform is disconnected from a decoding capacitor. The counter at the receiving station is enabled prematurely to generate the count so that the "reaction time" of the physical circuit components is compensated for. Compensation of this reaction time is important in reducing the nonlinear distortion that would otherwise be introduced when the ramp waveforms that are employed are of the companded type. The circuit operates in an overlap fashion, encoding and receiving in one field and decoding and transmitting in another field. Control time slots are interspersed between these fields and the control time slot intervals are advantageously employed to augment the code in the counter. | ||||||

PCM encoder-decoder having a digital code generator which counts through a digital count during a comparison period. An analog voltage waveform generator sweeps in a non-linear manner from a maximum negative to a maximum positive voltage during the same period. The digital code generator and analog voltage waveform generator are synchronized so that during each instant of each comparison period they have corresponding values. At the start of each comparison period a sample of an audio voice signal to be encoded is trapped in a capacitor. During a comparison period the sample is compared with the output of the waveform generator. When equality is detected the count of the digital code generator at that instant is stored as a PCM digital signal for transmission with other PCM signals in accordance with known TDM techniques. A PCM digital signal which is received in accordance with known TDM techniques is stored in a register prior to the start of a comparison period. During a comparison period the stored digital signal is compared with the output of the digital code generator. When equality is detected, the voltage of the analog signal from the analog voltage waveform generator at that instant is trapped in a capacitor. At the end of the comparison period the trapped charge is released as a pulse to a low-pass filter. A series of pulses is converted to a continuous audio signal by the low-pass filter.

128 | Encoder-decoder for pcm systems | US25994072 | 1972-06-05 | US3810020A | 1974-05-07 | FORTUNA A; PERSSON H |
High accuracy at low signal amplitudes is achieved in the encoder section of an encoder-decoder for PCM signals together with low cost by using a feedback linear encoder with a digital compandor, dividing the companding scale into two ranges having an equal number of segments, providing a separate comparator for each range, and using the same set of weights for both comparators. A shift weight is provided to go from the low-level comparison to the high-level comparison, and a ratio-producing network is provided to multiply the effect of each weight by the appropriate expansion factor in the high-level comparator as compared to the low-level comparator.
