Abstract
An apparatus for electromagnetic processing comprises a modulator for generating one or more elements representative of an input signal; a divider controlled by the one or more elements and receiving an electromagnetic wave to generate a modified signal; a comparator for comparing the modified signal to a reference signal and for generating a processed signal based upon the comparison; and a channel number calculator for selecting a channel for the processed signal, wherein the input signal incorporated the channel selection.
Claims16
A method of wideband processing of a phase component signal comprising:
- preprocessing the phase component signal, the preprocessing comprising scaling to compensate for any gain in the phase component signal;
- performing a channel calculation resulting in at least two channel calculation components;
- combining a first of the channel calculation components with the preprocessed phase component signal to generate a combined signal;
- processing the combined signal to generate one or more elements representative of said phase component signal;
- dividing an electromagnetic carrier wave by a sum of said one or more elements and a second of the channel calculation components to generate a modified signal;
- comparing said modified signal to a reference signal;
- generating a processed signal based upon said comparison;
- compensating for error detected in the modified signal;
- and
- combining said processed signal with said electromagnetic carrier wave to produce a phase modulated signal.
