  Regenerative Pseudonoise Ranging
Pseudonoise binary sequences have been used before in turnaround ranging of spacecraft because they offer a desirable combination of high ranging resolution, low ranging ambiguity, and no need for receivers to "know" when pseudonoise sequences started.
If the pseudonoise sequence could be regenerated in the transponder with proper timing instead of being simply turned around along with the uplink noise, then it could be retransmitted without the uplink noise, thereby increasing the ranging-signal-to-noise ratio.
The nature of the pseudonoise sequence would be such that the tracking phase error would average out to zero in the long term, and the effect of the tracking phase error could be diminished through low-pass filtering.

 Coherent spread spectrum pseudonoise tracking loop - Patent 4538280
pseudonoise signal generator means for generating a pseudonoise sequence signal which corresponds to a pseudonoise signal component of the received spread data signal.
A demodulator is included in the first channel for correlating the pseudonoise signal component of the received spread spectrum signal with the pseudonoise sequence signal generated by the local generator to thereby generate a detected recovered signal.
The control signal is applied to the local generator for controlling the phase of the pseudonoise signal sequence to lock the phase of the pseudonoise sequence signal to the phase of the pseudonoise signal component of the received spread spectrum signal.

 User terminal parallel searcher - US Patent 6765953   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Each slice includes a delay unit for delaying the pseudonoise sequence by a predetermined chip time, a despreader for operating on a data stream as a function of a previously delayed pseudonoise sequence, and at least one coherent accumulator for coherently accumulating an output of the despreader.
More specifically, the present invention identifies the pseudonoise sequence (also referred to as a "PN code") and particular timing offset of the PN code that was used to spread the signal prior to its transmission, along with the pilot orthogonal channel code, Walsh sequence, assignment, and a course estimate of the Doppler frequency offset.
In step 802, the pseudonoise sequence produced by PN code generator 312 is delayed by a preselected amount by delay units 506 to produce a plurality of delayed pseudonoise sequences.

 Antenna, November 1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
"Pseudonoise," for instance, served quite well in describing this manipulation of signals because, to a receiver not synchronized with the transmitter, incoming signals came through as meaningless noise.
The essential feature of spread-spectrum technology is the expansion, or spread, of the bandwidth of the transmitted signal (carrier wave plus data stream) well beyond that at which it incorporates the data stream to be communicated.
The phase of the carrier signal, which has a constant frequency, is switched (say, by 180 degrees) at irregular intervals according to a long pseudonoise (PN) pattern before it is modulated by the data stream.

 NASA Tech Briefs: Heterodyne doppler lidar using pseudonoise code
The heart of the transmitter in the present developmental instrument is a diode laser, which is chosen for compactness and because the electrical efficiencies of diode lasers are generally greater than those of gas and solid-state lasers.
On the other hand, diode lasers are not suitable for pulsed operation at the peak power levels and pulse-repetition frequencies needed for range gating in the intended application; therefore, in the present instrument, range gating is achieved by use of a pseudonoise code.
The transmitting diode laser will be modulated with the pseudonoise code a prescribed pseudorandom sequence of "on" and "off' states - with each "on" or "off' state lasting 1 to 2 ps.

 Abstract
After a review of the properties of pseudonoise sequences and what constitutes a pseudonoise sequence, a number of different sequences with pseudonoise and pseudonoise-like properties are described.
Pseudonoise sequences can be used to encode message data such that the resultant information can be `spread very thinly' over the cover image.
Pseudonoise sequences are useful for this purpose because a carrier signal with an embedded sequence can be designed to interact minimally with harmonics of the carrier.

 Deep-Space Ranging Using Pseudonoise Codes
The phase shift for which the correlation is maximum is deemed to be related to the round-trip signal-propagation time and, hence, to the distance.
The modulations used in prior such systems were sequential square-wave tones or repeating pseudonoise tones, but not both in the same system.
It is shown that in comparison with the existing system using sequential square-wave tones, a system using a set of pseudonoise codes would perform better (in terms of integration time and variance in distance) and could be configured and operated more easily.

1), which includes a pseudonoise code generator (70), is synchronized with the pseudonoise code generator (220) of a communications node (200).
Synchronization between the pseudonoise code generators (70, 220) is achieved through measuring the time delay of a signal transmitted from the communications node (200) to the subscriber unit (260) and advancing the code generator of the subscriber unit in accordance with the time delay.
The synchronization is maintained through the periodic transmission from the communications node (200) to the subscriber unit (260) of a message which commands the subscriber unit (260) to adjust the timing of its pseudonoise code generator.

When the signal's sequence and the receiver's sequence are synchronized, a high correlation peak occurs in the receiver's matched filter.
For a pseudonoise sequence, the highest value of this function occurs when there is no shift.
Generally, the values at other shifts (known as sidelobes) are much lower than the highest value, but some sequences have sidelobes that are closer in magnitude to the highest peak.

 FAQ - Answer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
It is impossible to measure the noise in the nearest zone of the source (pseudonoise and pseudovibration) that gives the main volume of information about the incipient defects.
Here the pseudonoise and pseudoviabrartion means the noise and vibration components that can be identified just near the source, when the distance is less than the quarter of the vibroacoustical wave, but on larger distances they are absent because of the mutual compensation of oscillations generated in different points of the source.
However, the mentioned causes do not limit the possibilities of using the directional microphones in monitoring systems that are not intended to detect all the main defects on their incipient stage of development.
