More Information
Summary:A moderate cost and complexity digital radio receiver system having enhanced instantaneous dynamic range response to the receipt of simultaneous signals and also providing large single signal dynamic range. Multiple signal instantaneous dynamic range improvement is achieved through use of a suppressed zero signal amplitude representation arrangement having a selected number of signal amplitude representing digital bits rather than the larger entire array of digital output bits of the receiver system's analog to digital converter. Digital apparatus for accomplishing the selection of desired high order bits from the analog to digital converter output is also disclosed in detail. Use of a "Monobit" and related simplified Fourier transformation radio receivers as disclosed in identified previous patents of the recited inventors and colleagues is preferred for embodying the digital radio receiver circuit included in a present system.
