Abstract

Systems and methods are described for carrier-frequency synchronization for improved AM and TV broadcast reception. A method includes synchronizing a carrier frequency of a broadcast signal with a remote reference frequency. An apparatus includes a reference signal receiver; a phase comparator coupled to the reference signal receiver; a voltage controlled oscillator coupled to the phase comparator; and a radio frequency output coupled to the voltage controlled oscillator.

Systems and methods for synchronizing converter modules

Patent Cox, Robert Williams; Evans, Daniel Wade

Various examples are directed to a converter system comprising first and second series-connected converter modules and a synchronization circuit. The synchronization circuit may modulate a reference signal onto a carrier signal to generate a synchronization current signal and the synchronization current signal to an output current of the converter system to generate an aggregated output current. A first converter module may receive the aggregated output current from a first current sensor and generate a first reproduced synchronization signal at least in part from the aggregated output current. A first switch control signal for switching at least one switch at themore »« less

Chaotic carrier pulse position modulation communication system and method

Patent Abarbanel, Henry D. I. [Del Mar, CA]; Larson, Lawrence E [Del Mar, CA]; Rulkov, Nikolai F [San Diego, CA]; ...

A chaotic carrier pulse position modulation communication system and method is disclosed. The system includes a transmitter and receiver having matched chaotic pulse regenerators. The chaotic pulse regenerator in the receiver produces a synchronized replica of a chaotic pulse train generated by the regenerator in the transmitter. The pulse train from the transmitter can therefore act as a carrier signal. Data is encoded by the transmitter through selectively altering the interpulse timing between pulses in the chaotic pulse train. The altered pulse train is transmitted as a pulse signal. The receiver can detect whether a particular interpulse interval in themore »« less

System and method for optimizing fundamental frequency modulation for a cascaded multilevel inverter

Patent Peng, Fang Zheng; Yang, Shuitao

A system and a method for optimizing fundamental frequency modulation in a cascaded multilevel inverter (CMI) are provided. The CMI includes at least a first H-bridge module and a second H-bridge module connected in series with the first H-bridge module. The first H-bridge module is operated according to a first duty cycle and the second H-bridge module is operated according to a second duty cycle. The first duty cycle is greater than the second duty cycle. The first and second H-bridge modules are controlled utilizing fundamental frequency modulation. A portion of the first duty cycle is transferred to the secondmore »« less

System and method for investigating sub-surface features of a rock formation with acoustic sources generating conical broadcast signals

Patent Vu, Cung Khac; Skelt, Christopher; Nihei, Kurt; ...

A method of interrogating a formation includes generating a conical acoustic signal, at a first frequency--a second conical acoustic signal at a second frequency each in the between approximately 500 Hz and 500 kHz such that the signals intersect in a desired intersection volume outside the borehole. The method further includes receiving, a difference signal returning to the borehole resulting from a non-linear mixing of the signals in a mixing zone within the intersection volume.
