Abstract: 1,079,918. Data transmission; transistor gating circuits. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. Oct. 29, 1964 [Nov. 4, 1963], No. 44107/64. Headings H3T and H4P. The invention provides a receiver for data transmitted by phase-reversal suppressed carrier vestigial sideband technique, in which, prior to transmission, a carrier having a level less than that of the data-modulated signal is inserted such that the transmitted signals lead and lag the inserted carrier by less than 90 degrees. The received signals pass to a phase-locked circuit comprising oscillator 24, modulator 22 and filter 23, the circuit having a short time constant and giving a shift of + 90 degrees to the signals. Tuned circuit 25 applies the output of oscillator 22 to phase shifters 26, 27. A transistor gating circuit 28 selects the output of one or other unit so that the signal fed to phaselocked circuit 29 has a constant phase +180 degrees relative to the inserted carrier. Circuit 29 shifts this signal a further +90 degrees and feeds modulator 32 which is fed also by the received signals. The demodulated signal, the receiver output, controls the gating circuit 28. The gating circuit, Fig. 3 (not shown), comprises an NPN and a PNP transistor. The units which they are to gate are connected by a chain of resistors, from the centrepoint of which the output is taken. The collectors are connected to either side of the resistor chain. Upon application of a potential to the commoned bases one transistor conducts, shorting out one of the units, and the other transistor is blocked. When an opposite potential is applied the situation reverses.
