Title: Discriminator for echo canceller using far-end signal
Inventor: FRATILA ADRIAN
IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 2005-06-01
Abstract: An echo canceller for telephone circuits has an adaptive filter for deriving an echo model for subtracting from an outgoing near-end signal. The filter adaptation is frozen if double talk is detected. Discrimination of double talk from echo path change is made more reliable and independent of signal level, by using a comparison between two correlations. The first correlation is between the far-end signal and the near-end signal, and the second correlation is between the echo-cancelled output signal and the far-end signal. There is no need to set and adjust thresholds, making the canceller easier to install, and there is no need to adjust the thresholds for each telephone call to suit different line attenuations.

Title: A Doherty amplifier with feedback control of gain and phase
Inventor: KIJIMA TOORU
IPC: H03G3/30
Filed: 2005-12-05
Abstract: The gain of a Doherty microwave FET amplifier is stabilized at high output levels by feedback control of the gate bias voltage Vgg for the peaking amplifier 2. The levels of the input and output signals are detected 6,7 and compared 8. Alternatively the ratio of the input and output levels may be detected. When the main amplifier 1 begins to saturate, the peaking amplifier 2 is automatically activated. The use of feedback overcomes thermal drift and transistor characteristic variation. A temperature compensation attenuator 11 assists the feedback circuit by reducing thermal drift of gain in amplifiers 1 and 2. The output of the differential circuit 8 is fed to the peaking amplifier through a limiter 9 which protects the peaking amplifier from overload. Further peaking amplifiers may be added (figure 5). The phase response of the amplifier may be stabilized by a phase comparator 15 driving a phase compensator 12.
