ABSTRACT:
Diclosed is a dual band communication receiver for use in a burst communication sytem. The receiver is capable of esentially simultaneous reception at a first carrier frequency (L), such as L-band and a higher carrier frequency (H), such as S-band, using distinct codes and replying in the frequency band received. A typical system is composed of a transponder and an interrogator. The incoming coded signal is down converted to an i.f. frequency compatible with surface acoustic wave (SAW) convolvers. The i.f. signal is then divided between two SAW convolvers, each having a convolution interval of two times the message symbol length (2T). Reference signals A and B are composite signals comprised of alternate L-band and H-band signals, each having a time period equal to T and each L- or H-band signal operating at a 50% duty cycle. Reference signals A and B are time reversed to the input signals applied to the convolver and are orthogonal to one another. Each of the convolver outputs are processed through log video detection circuits to reduce the dynamic range followed by peak detecting and stretching to reduce the pulse bandwidth. The outputs from each peak detection and stretching circuitry are coupled to a smaple-and-hold circuit which are in turn divided such that one path is to synchronization and interrogation sidelobe suppression (also referred to as sidelobe inhibit, ISLI or control signal) matched filters designed to look for the particular symbol sequences between the two convolver channels characteristic of the preamble and ISLI signals. The synchronization signal and the sidelobe suppression signal are used in order to determine if a valid preamble has been detected by the receiver and if the receiver is in a desired portion of the interrogator radiation pattern; if so, then a timing or address signal and the remaining portion of the message which contains the data is clocked into a memory.
