Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 149 words
A non-linear digital generator circuit for producing controllably complex bit sequences comprising in combination: a plurality of shift registers each being of predetermined bit length, each of said plurality of shift registers comprising: a first segmented portion being controllable as to a bit delay length between an input thereto and an output thereof; and a second segmented portion having a fixed bit length for implementing a predetermined span between an input thereto and an output thereof, said input being derived from said output of said first segmented portion; means for controlling said bit length of each of said plurality of first segmented portions of said plurality of shift registers; a plurality of means for combining said inputs and outputs of each of said second segmented portions, each of said combining means having an output thereof; and means for modulo-two adding said outputs of said plurality of said combining means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 149 words
A non-linear digital generator circuit for producing controllably complex bit sequences comprising in combination: a plurality of shift registers each being of predetermined bit length, each of said plurality of shift registers comprising: a first segmented portion being controllable as to a bit delay length between an input thereto and an output thereof; and a second segmented portion having a fixed bit length for implementing a predetermined span between an input thereto and an output thereof, said input being derived from said output of said first segmented portion; means for controlling said bit length of each of said plurality of first segmented portions of said plurality of shift registers; a plurality of means for combining said inputs and outputs of each of said second segmented portions, each of said combining means having an output thereof; and means for modulo-two adding said outputs of said plurality of said combining means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The circuit according to claim 1 further comprising an optional input to said modulo-two adding means for inputting a bit string.
