Abstract
Abstract A receiver for a biphase-L signal A is described which includes a line-up detector 14 generating a circuit initialization pulse. A preamble detector 40 is responsive to a preamble of the incoming biphase-L signal A. A sampling signal generator 17 is responsive to the signal from the preamble detector 40, to the biphase-L signal A and to a second control signal. The output C of a time delay line 34 supplies the second control signal, and the input to the delay line 34 is supplied by the sampling signal generator 17. The output data signal H is generated by a flip-flop 54 which samples the biphase-L signal A at times determined by the output G of the sampling signal generator 17.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
A receiver for generating digital output signals in response to received messages encoded in a biphase signal coding format, each message comprising a spacing portion, a preamble portion and a data portion, the receiver comprising: an input terminal (10) for accepting an incoming message, a first detection means (19) responsive to said incoming message signal for generating a first control signal, a second detection means (40) responsive to said first control signal and said preamble portion of said incoming message signal for generating a second control signal, means (17) connected to said input terminal and first (10) and second (40) detection means for generating a third control signal in response to said first and second control signals and for generating a sampling signal in response to said first and second control signals and voltage level transitions of said message signal, said first detection means (19) including a switch (18) responsive to said third control signal for switching the generation of said first control signal from response to said incoming message signal to response of said sampling signal, and means connected to said input terminal (10) and said sampling means (17) for generating digital output signals in response to said sampling signal and said message signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
A receiver for generating digital output signals in response to received messages encoded in a biphase signal coding format, each message comprising a spacing portion, a preamble portion and a data portion, the receiver comprising: an input terminal (10) for accepting an incoming message, a first detection means (19) responsive to said incoming message signal for generating a first control signal, a second detection means (40) responsive to said first control signal and said preamble portion of said incoming message signal for generating a second control signal, means (17) connected to said input terminal and first (10) and second (40) detection means for generating a third control signal in response to said first and second control signals and for generating a sampling signal in response to said first and second control signals and voltage level transitions of said message signal, said first detection means (19) including a switch (18) responsive to said third control signal for switching the generation of said first control signal from response to said incoming message signal to response of said sampling signal, and means connected to said input terminal (10) and said sampling means (17) for generating digital output signals in response to said sampling signal and said message signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
