Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Mike and all, there must be quite a different scheme when trying to reducing Lightning storm ¡°static¡± as opposed to very local noise or nearby bad power line noise, or your own light dimmer noise.

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
It IS periodic, not random. Each noise pulse has a definite signature. It is well above average random noise. A noise blanker of any sort desensitizes the signal channel during the noise pulse. In

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Rich ¨C Ignition noise is far from periodic. It may approach that at a constant speed, and may be somewhat predictable in the same vehicle where the receiver is. An SX117 for example and most others

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
True, but a good approximation of the noise in the vicinity of the receiver antenna can be sampled and used to reduce the noise coming in along with the desired signal from the main antenna. The noise

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Well, you are speaking of _random_ noise, like natural radio noise but blankers are intended to work on periodic signals such as ignition noise. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL SKCC 19998

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
I believe the Collins used this technique for the NB on the 75S and 51S receivers. Should really look. It has the advantage of a very wide band input. For ignition and other pulse noise the NB

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
It seems to me, that since noise is neither correlate-able or stochastic, elimination is not possible. Also the multiple antenna theory is out the window since RF generated noise travels at the speed

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Another technique for reducing or eliminating noise was to introduce local noise to the front end of a receiver from a local "noise antenna." The amplitude and phase of that noise could be adjusted

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Can't read the whole book:-) Look at any of the classical receivers, say a Hallicrafters S-40. That has a series diode noise limiter. I think the S-20R has a shunt limiter. Series limiters began to
