Automatic Leveling Stabilized Vhf-Fm Frequency Synthesizer

US Patent:
4189689, Feb 19, 1980
Filed:
Nov 13, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/959676
Inventors:
Gregory L. Triplett - Olathe KS
Assignee:
Wulfsberg Electronics, Inc. - Overland Park KS
International Classification:
H03C 304
US Classification:
332 18
Abstract:
An automatic modulation leveling circuit gain controlled by the tuning voltage level into the voltage controlled oscillator of an FM frequency synthesizer providing a normalized modulation gain. The automatic modulation leveling circuit is used in a basic 10 KHz tuning increment direct synthesizer with a skewed frequency standard deriving four intermediate tuning steps of 2. 5 KHz each. The leveling circuit includes an amplifier with gain to both DC and AC set by the ratio of a feedback resistor to the value of an input resistor that is a photo resistor subject to resistance change with light variance of a light emitting diode as driven by a second amplifier in the circuit. The second amplifier provides, in the circuit environment, an output responsive to frequency synthesizer tuning voltage with gain such as to result in a certain level of modulation across the RF tuning band being proportional to the tuning voltage and automatic adjustment of leveling circuit gain to the proper level as indicated and determined by the tuning voltage into the VCO for substantially uniform deviation across the entire tuning band.

Wideband Multi-Channel Receiver With Fixed-Frequency Notch Filter For Interference Rejection

US Patent:
2012014, Jun 14, 2012
Filed:
Dec 10, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/965444
Inventors:
Alfonso Malaga - Sammamish WA, US
Timothy P. Gibson - Overland Park KS, US
Jeffrey K. Hunter - Olathe KS, US
Gregory Triplett - Olathe KS, US
Assignee:
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
H04B 1/00
US Classification:
375147
Abstract:
A wideband multi-channel receiver comprises an antenna configured to receive a radio frequency band comprising an aviation VHF communication band, an aviation VHF navigation band, an aviation L-band, or combinations thereof. A band-pass filter is in signal communication with the antenna, and a low-noise amplifier is in signal communication with the band-pass filter. A mixer is in signal communication with the low-noise amplifier and is configured to translate a radio frequency band to an intermediate frequency (IF) band. A tunable local oscillator is in signal communication with the mixer. At least one fixed-frequency notch filter is in signal communication with the mixer, with the notch filter configured to reject at least one interference signal in the IF band while passing remaining signals in the IF band. An analog-to-digital converter is in signal communication with the notch filter and is configured to convert the remaining signals in the IF band to digital signals. A digital processing system is in signal communication with the analog-to-digital converter.

Reconfigurable Aircraft Radio Communications System

US Patent:
8081933, Dec 20, 2011
Filed:
Jul 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/777468
Inventors:
Alfonso Malaga - Sammamish WA, US
Palaniappan Meiyappan - Bellevue WA, US
Chad E. Wilson - Sammamish WA, US
Jeffrey K. Hunter - Olathe KS, US
Gregory Triplett - Olathe KS, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
H04B 1/38, H04W 4/00
US Classification:
455 902, 455431
Abstract:
A reconfigurable radio communications system is disclosed. The system comprises a digital data bus, a control bus, and first and second reconfigurable radio communication units responsive to the digital data bus and the control bus. Each of the first and second reconfigurable radio communication units further include a first and a second multifunction radio transceiver, with the first reconfigurable radio communication unit responsive to at least a first antenna, and the second reconfigurable radio communication unit responsive to at least a second antenna. Each of the first and the second multifunction radio transceivers of the first and the second reconfigurable radio communication units are operable to simultaneously transmit and receive data on at least two separate channels from different frequency bands. Within the system, one of the multifunction radio transceivers is automatically reconfigurable to maintain radio communication functions previously performed by a faulted multifunction radio transceiver.

Radio Receiver For Aviation Communications And Navigation

US Patent:
2007027, Nov 29, 2007
Filed:
Jul 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/563397
Inventors:
Timothy Gibson - Overland Park KS, US
Gregory Triplett - Olathe KS, US
Manuel Richey - Paola KS, US
Jeffrey Hunter - Olathe KS, US

Vhf-Fm Frequency Synthesizer

US Patent:
4320357, Mar 16, 1982
Filed:
Jul 1, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/165026
Inventors:
Paul G. Wulfsberg - Overland Park KS
Dennis L. Fredrickson - Leawood KS
Gregory L. Triplett - Olathe KS
Ralph J. Crumrine - Olathe KS
Cole E. Cunningham - Dallas TX
International Classification:
H03L 718, H03C 309
US Classification:
331 16
Abstract:
A frequency synthesizer employing direct FM, as opposed to phase modulation, so subaudible tones may be transmitted, in the form of a 10 KHz increment, direct synthesizer with a skewed frequency standard deriving four intermediate 2. 5 KHz tuning steps. Fast settling time of frequency change accommodates semi duplex operation, and a shaping network provides the amount of skewing changes required between band ends for substantially perfect tracking. A low division ratio programmed divider in the system maximizes transmitter signal to noise ratio, and a low pass filter in the synthesizer phase locked loop allows voice band moduation.
