Acoustical transducer with a slotted piston suspension

An improved electrodynamic acoustic transducer with a slotted piston suspension system which results in greater linear excursions by relieving stresses within the diaphragm during the movement and allows improved operations of transducer with greater magnet size and greater radiating areas of diaphragm suspension. Overall efficiency of transducer is thereby improved. An improved piston suspension can be utilized with electrodynamic acoustic transducers operating in the range of 200 to 20,000 cycles per second.

Statistical analysis of communications: Range and reliability in the presence of interference

A statistical method is developed for analysis of interference in land mobile communications systems. Reduction of communication range and degradation of system reliability are calculated. This method can be used for cases in which a desired signal is transmitted by a base station (or mobile unit) and received by a mobile unit (or base station) and is interfered with by a signal transmitted either by a fixed station or a mobile unit. The spatial probability distribution of mobile units is considered. The method is applicable to any frequency band for which path loss statistics are known, and an example of this method is given which calculates reduction in communication range, area, and degradation of communication reliability for different values of splatter protection, and distributions of mobile units.
