Abstract
Abstract A repeater station for a composite pulse information signal and a pseudo-random auxiliary signal has a local pseudo-random generator synchronized with the received auxiliary signal. The output of the local generator is combined with the proper amplitude with the output of a pulse regenerator to yield a regenerated output signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A repeater for a composite signal having a main signal component and a pseudo-random auxiliary signal component of an amplitude substantially below that of said main signal, said repeater comprising an input means for receiving said composite signal from a single transmission line, an output means for supplying a regenerated composite signal, a pulse regenerator coupled to said input means, an adder coupled to said regenerator and said output means, a clock pulse source coupled to said regenerator, means for generating a pseudorandom signal coupled to said clock pulse source and said adder means, and means for synchronizing said generating means with said auxiliary signal component said synchronizing means coupled to said input means, said generating means and said clock pulse source.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A repeater for a composite signal having a main signal component and a pseudo-random auxiliary signal component of an amplitude substantially below that of said main signal, said repeater comprising an input means for receiving said composite signal from a single transmission line, an output means for supplying a regenerated composite signal, a pulse regenerator coupled to said input means, an adder coupled to said regenerator and said output means, a clock pulse source coupled to said regenerator, means for generating a pseudorandom signal coupled to said clock pulse source and said adder means, and means for synchronizing said generating means with said auxiliary signal component said synchronizing means coupled to said input means, said generating means and said clock pulse source.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
