Abstract
To transmit encoded information such as for example voice messages between remote transceivers, a transmitter digitizes and encodes an audio signal and then transmits the resulting digital coded signal to the receiver. The receiver decodes the signal and converts it back to an audio signal. The received encoded digital signal is used to reset the timing clock in the receiver so that the timing is synchronized in the receiver and transmitter by the transmitted encoded information. The encoder transmits digital information to a shift register. Encoding switches select certain stages of the shift register and the transmitter transmits the exclusive-OR of the digitized message and the output of the selected stages. This signal is also the input to the shift register. The information transmitted to the receiver is a scrambled digital signal. In the receiver, the coded information synchronizes a clock for the shift register from the encoded digital signal that it receives and selects the stages of the shift register that unscramble the coded information for conversion to an audio signal suitable for the speaker.
