Abstract
Abstract An address discrimination channel and terminal selection channels are established in the low-noise region of a first one of two succeeding cycles of an alternating current carrier wave, whereas returning channels are established in the low-noise region of the second cycle of the same. A receiver inserts an address discrimination phase-pulse signal and a terminal selection phase-pulse signal, respectively, into the address discrimination channel and the terminal selection channels of the aforementioned first cycle. A terminal equipment inserts a returning phase-pulse signal into the returning channels of the aforementioned second cycle when it detects the address discrimination phase-pulse signal on the address discrimination channel, and the terminal selection phase-pulse signal having an address code coinciding with the address code of said terminal equipment on the terminal selection channels.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
207 words
A carrier control method using phase-pulse signals, comprising the steps of: forming an address discriminating channel and a plurality of terminal selection channels having a respective predetermined phase width in a low-noise region of a first one of every two succeeding cycles of an alternating current carrier wave, and a plurality of return channels having said respective predetermined phase width in the low-noise region of the second cycle of said every two succeeding cycles, said low-noise region being in the vicinity of the zero phase of a predetermined phase in a cycle of the alternating current carrier wave; inserting an address discrimination phase-pulse signal in said alternating current carrier wave in said address discrimination channel of said first cycle and a terminal selection phase-pulse signal in said alternating current carrier wave in said terminal selection channels of said first cycle at a receiver; and inserting a return phase-pulse signal in said alternating current carrier wave in said returning channels of said second cycle at a terminal equipment, when said address discrimination phase-pulse signal is detected on said address discrimination channel, and when said terminal selection phase-pulse signal having an address code coinciding with the address code of said terminal equipment is detected on said terminal selection channels.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
207 words
A carrier control method using phase-pulse signals, comprising the steps of: forming an address discriminating channel and a plurality of terminal selection channels having a respective predetermined phase width in a low-noise region of a first one of every two succeeding cycles of an alternating current carrier wave, and a plurality of return channels having said respective predetermined phase width in the low-noise region of the second cycle of said every two succeeding cycles, said low-noise region being in the vicinity of the zero phase of a predetermined phase in a cycle of the alternating current carrier wave; inserting an address discrimination phase-pulse signal in said alternating current carrier wave in said address discrimination channel of said first cycle and a terminal selection phase-pulse signal in said alternating current carrier wave in said terminal selection channels of said first cycle at a receiver; and inserting a return phase-pulse signal in said alternating current carrier wave in said returning channels of said second cycle at a terminal equipment, when said address discrimination phase-pulse signal is detected on said address discrimination channel, and when said terminal selection phase-pulse signal having an address code coinciding with the address code of said terminal equipment is detected on said terminal selection channels.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The carrier control method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of; forming figure selection channels in the low-noise region of said first cycle; and inserting a figure selection phase-pulse signal into the figure selection channels at said receiver.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
81 words
The carrier control method of claim 1, which further includes a counting operation by means of a ternary counter of the half-cycle pulse which is generated at each half cycle of the alternating current carrier wave, when the terminal selection phase-pulse signal having an address code coinciding with the address code of said terminal equipment is detected so that the beginning of said second cycle is defined when the counted value of said ternary counter reaches a predetermined value of 2.
