Patent GB-2218877-A (GB)
Title: Television display system with flicker reduction
Inventor: WILLIS DONALD HENRY
IPC: H04N9/896
Filed: 1989-06-27
Abstract: A speed-up memory 50 doubles the field rate of a video input signal by repeating each field to reduce flicker when the double field rate signal is displayed. Read/write clocks FR,FW for controlling the memory are locked 20 to the color subcarrier of the video input signal thereby tending to produce visual artifacts in the displayed image due to clock skew relative to sync when non-standard video signals are processed. The skew errors are corrected by circuitry 32, 70, 80 which measures the skew of the read and write clocks and delays 62 the video signal as a function of a dilierence between the clock skew measurements. A signal indicative of the write clock skew is stored 74 with the video input signal in the memory, recovered 76 from the video output signal from the memory, and subtracted 79 from a signal indicative of the read clock skew to provide a difference signal which is used to control delay 62. <IMAGE>

Title: Detecting speech or control channels in a mobile radio system
Inventor: FAERJH JAN FREDRIK
IPC: H03M13/23
Filed: 1992-09-09
Abstract: In a method of detecting the identity of a radio channel, and to ascertain whether the channel is a control channel (FACCH) or a traffic (speech) channel (UCH), in conjunction with convolution decoding in a mobile radio receiver, when convolution decoding, it is earlier known to use different coding rates (R1 and R2 respectively) for the different channels and to perform complete decoding. According to the proposed method, channel identification is effected without such complete decoding. Part of a data block is decoded in accordance with the Viterbi algorithm as though the block represented a control channel (FACCH). If the metric (m1) obtained after a given number of nodes is smaller than a given number of threshold values (T1), the channel is considered to be a control channel and is thereafter decoded as such a channel. If the metric (m1) is greater than the threshold value (T1), the channel is decoded as a speech channel (UCH). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A frequency mixing circuit comprises first and second differential pairs Q1, Q2 : Q3, Q4 each formed of two transistors different in emitter area from each other and constant current sources CS1, CS2 for respectively driving the first and second differential pairs. The collectors of the transistors having a large emitter area of K (K > 1) and the collectors of the transistors having a small emitter area of 1 of the first and second differential pairs are respectively connected in common. Between the both differential pairs. the bases of the transistors having an emitter area of K and the bases of the transistors having an emitter area of 1 are respectively connected in common. A first AC signal Vin to be mixed is applied to one of two sets of the commonly connected bases and a second AC signal VLO to be mixed is applied to the other thereof. Thus, the degradation of NF (noise factor) characteristic can be reduced and a good high frequency characteristic can be obtained at a low current. Current mirrors may be included in the collector, load circuits. <IMAGE>
