Communication Speeds, Rates and Quality

A product that we offering is based on certain mathematical considerations on the Shannon equation, the foundation of Information Theory:

                                     C = B log2 (1 + S/N)                                    (1)

 In that, C is the given channel's capacity. (bit/s), B its bandwidth (Hz), and S/N the average signal-to-noise (voltage) ratio if the noise is additive, “white”, and limited in frequency. Although Eq. (1) indicates that doubling the channel capacity is an impractical task with ordinary single-ended networks, because of: the ensuing large S/N reduction of about 109 dB, it is possible to use recently available means with good results. More precisely, with multitapped delay lines as transverse filters the ratio S/N reduces to very tolerable levels.

We have a procedure that can briefly be outlined as follows:

1.  We change the transmitted signal symbols, or pulses into a series of nominally identical Gaussian curves each alternating in polarity. Each pulse will have a frequency extent, let us, say to pass 99% of its power, double of that of the Channel. Thus s =3.03/27πfc where σ is a pulse's half-interval between inflection points and fc the channel's abrupt like in a telephone line cutoff frequency. The channel cannot, of course, pass this signal without severe and irreversible distortion and ringing.

2. Before transmitting the new signal is deliberately and reversibly pre-distorted by halving its bandwidth with a Gaussian filter matched to the Gaussian constituent pulses. This operation allows it to pass through the given channel without further distortion or ringing.                   

3. Finally, we recover completely at the receiver the original signal by a transverse filter, using a multitapped delay line of specific tap outputs, that convolves continually and in real time the incoming waveform. Thereafter we continue with the normal processes such as decoding, etc. However, because of the taps there is a recursive amplification of the processed signal and the resulting S/N reduction is then only 30 dB.

The processes in the above steps were reduced in a form implementable by a computer using software instead of actual and common circuits. The complete procedure is now available in a diskette.
