Abstract
Abstract A pulse compressor for multiplexed noise codes generated with transposed code mate pairs and which comprise expanded noise codes of the code mates where the first expanded code is generated by delaying the inverse of one code mate by a predetermined time delay and adding it to the other code mate and wherein the second expanded code is generated by delaying the inverse of the other code mate, forming its complement and adding it to said one code mate. The means utilized comprises means for compressing the two expanded codes collectively by summing and differencing of the codes in a repetitive pipelined sequence until a final pair of codes are outputted which are lobeless and equal to the basic mate pair.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
Apparatus for code comprising a mated pair of multiplexed, noise-coded, digital signals (a i ) and (b i ) where the number of bits in each said signal equals 2i comprising: a plurality of code compressor stages connected in tandem; each said stage having means for compressing an input mated pair connected thereto into an output mated pair having one-half the number of bits of said input mated pair and having the absolute value of each bit amplitude of said output signal equal to twice the absolute value of each bit amplitude of said input signals; the first one of said code compressor stages having first and second inputs connected to said input mated pair of signals (a i ) and (b i ) respectively; and the other of said code compressor stages having first and second inputs connected to first and second outputs respectively of the preceeding one of said stages for connecting said output mated pair thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
Apparatus for code comprising a mated pair of multiplexed, noise-coded, digital signals (a i ) and (b i ) where the number of bits in each said signal equals 2i comprising: a plurality of code compressor stages connected in tandem; each said stage having means for compressing an input mated pair connected thereto into an output mated pair having one-half the number of bits of said input mated pair and having the absolute value of each bit amplitude of said output signal equal to twice the absolute value of each bit amplitude of said input signals; the first one of said code compressor stages having first and second inputs connected to said input mated pair of signals (a i ) and (b i ) respectively; and the other of said code compressor stages having first and second inputs connected to first and second outputs respectively of the preceeding one of said stages for connecting said output mated pair thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
117 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 and wherein: each said stage has said first input therein connected to one input of a first adder and to the input of a first code sequence inverter; said second input therein connected to one input of a second adder and to the input of a second code sequence inverter; each said stage having a signal inverter connected between said first code sequence inverter and a second input of said second adder; said output of said second code sequence inverter connected to a second input of said first adder: and said first and second outputs of each of said stages connected to the outputs of said first and second adders therein respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
199 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 and wherein: said first stage has said first input connected to one input of a first adder and the input of a signal inverter; said second input of said first stage connected to the input of a code sequence inverter; said code sequence inverter having the output therefor connected to a second input of said first adder and to one input of a second adder; said signal inverter having the output thereof connected to a second input of said second adder; the remaining ones of said code compressor stages each having said first input therein connected to a delay means for delaying signals a time period equal to the code length of the signal on said second input therein; the output of said delay means connected to one input of a first adder and a code inverter therein; the output of said code inverter connected to one input of a second adder therein; said second input being connected to a second input of each said first and second adders; and the outputs of all said first and second adders being connected to said first and second inputs respectively of the succeeding code compressor stage.
