Ranging code processor

System extracts range data from pseudorandom-coded range radar used to track a moving body. Pseudorandom binary waveforms with favorable correlation properties are transmitted and their reflections received and processed. The phase difference between the received and transmitted codes gives an accurate measure of the distance to the moving body.

Wide-range tracking oscillator generates phase and frequency coherent output

Tracking oscillator consists of modified phase-lock loop which controls voltage-controlled oscillator capable of automatic lock-on and track of periodic input waveform over frequency ratio 500-1. It is used in telemetry and communications systems where large signal fluctuations are encountered.

Digital input is buffered to real-time analog display

Buffering technique utilizes nine-bit binary counter and holding register of eight flip-flops. These flip-flops form the memory device that allows precise asynchronous conversion of the digital source data. Counter generates a waveform which is passed through a low pass filter to recover data in analog form.

Saturation current spikes eliminated in saturable core transformers

Unsaturating composite magnetic core transformer, consisting of two separate parallel cores designed so impending core saturation causes signal generation, terminates high current spike in converter primary circuit. Simplified waveform, demonstrates transformer effectiveness in eliminating current spikes.
