Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for regenerating original signals comprising: means for introducing a first signal that is produced as an original signal passes through a system that cuts off predetermined frequencies; a first circuit means which produces a third signal obtained on an open loop responsive to said first signal and a second signal which is regenerated from a signal of a predetermined frequency that is cut off by said system; and a second circuit means which regenerates the original signal by converting said third signal into a binary signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
An apparatus for regenerating an original digital signal which is applied to a system which cuts off a predetermined frequency band component in the original digital signal and outputs the remaining signal components, comprising: first means responsive to the output of said system for generating from said output signal of said system a first signal corresponding to the predetermined frequency band component which has been cut off by said system; second means responsive to the output of said system for outputting a second signal which is obtained by delaying the output signal of said system by a time that corresponds to the time a signal is delayed by said first means; third means connected to said first and second means for adding said first and second signals and for outputting a signal representing the addition result thereof; and fourth means connected to said third means for digitizing said output signal of said third means so as to regenerate said original digital signal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
162 words
An apparatus for regenerating an original digital signal which is applied to a system which cuts off a predetermined frequency band component in the original digital signal and outputs the remaining signal components, comprising: first means responsive to the output of said system for generating from said output signal of said system a first signal corresponding to the predetermined frequency band component which has been cut off by said system; second means responsive to the output of said system for outputting a second signal which is obtained by delaying the output signal of said system by a time that corresponds to the time a signal is delayed by said first means; third means connected to said first and second means for adding said first and second signals and for outputting a signal representing the addition result thereof; and fourth means connected to said third means for digitizing said output signal of said third means so as to regenerate said original digital signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
158 words
An apparatus for regenerating an original digital signal according to claim 1, wherein said first means comprises: a decision circuit connected to said system for digitizing the output signal of said system and for outputting a digitized signal; and a first filter which has characteristics complementary to the cut off characteristics of said system and which is connected to said decision circuit for generating said first signal from said digitized signal delivered by said decision circuit; and wherein said second means comprises: a delay circuit connected to said system for delaying the output signal of said system by a time that corresponds to the time a signal is delayed by said decision circuit; and a second filter which has the same cut off characteristics as those of said system and which is connected to said delay circuit for filtering a delayed signal delivered out of said delay circuit and for outputting a filtered signal as said second signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
An apparatus for regenerating an original digital signal according to claim 2, wherein said decision circuit comprises: comparator means connected to said system for digitizing the output signal of said system; and a latch circuit connected to said comparator means for latching a digitized signal outputted by said comparator means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
198 words
An apparatus for regenerating an original digital signal according to claim 1, wherein said first means comprises: a decision circuit connected to said system for digitizing the output signal of said system and for outputting a digitized signal; a first delay circuit connected to said system for delaying the output signal of said system by a time that corresponds to the time a signal is delayed by said decision circuit and for outputting a delayed signal as a first delayed signal; a subtractor connected to said decision circuit and to said first delay circuit for outputting a difference signal representing the difference between said digitized signal and said first delayed signal; and a filter which has characteristics complementary to the cut off characteristics of said system and which is connected to said subtractor for generating said first signal from said difference signal and for outputting said first signal; and wherein said second means comprises: a second delay circuit connected to said system through said first delay circuit for delaying said first delayed signal by a time that corresponds to the time a signal is delayed by said filter and for outputting a delayed signal as said second signal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
An apparatus for regenerating an original digital signal according to claim 4, wherein said decision circuit comprises: a comparator connected to said system for digitizing the output signal of said system; and a latch circuit connected to said comparator, for latching a digitized signal outputted by said comparator.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
142 words
A method of regenerating an original digital signal which is applied to a system which cuts off a predetermined frequency band component in the original digital signal and which outputs the remaining signal components as an output signal, comprising the steps of: forming said output signal from said system into first and second identical signals; generating a third signal corresponding to the predetermined frequency band component which is cut off by said system from said first signal outputted from said system; delaying said second signal outputted from said system by a time that corresponds to the time required to generate said third signal, and outputting a delayed second signal; and adding said third signal and said delayed second signal; and digitizing the result of addition of said third signal and said delayed second signal so as to regenerate said original digital signal.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
