          Appeal No. 97-3561                                                          
          Application No. 08/352,190                                                  


          This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134                      
          from the examiner’s rejection of claims 1-20, which constitute              
          all the claims in the application.  An amendment after final                
          rejection was filed on August 16, 1996 but was denied entry by              
          the examiner.                                                               
          The invention pertains to an interferoceiver and a                          
          method for operating an interferoceiver.  More particularly,                
          an RF signal train generator is provided with one or more RF                
          delay loops.  The RF delay loops store received RF signals,                 
          generate replicas of the stored signals, and align and vary                 
          the alignments of the regenerated replicas.                                 
          Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                            
               1.   An interferoceiver comprising an RF signal train                  
          generator; wherein the RF signal train generator comprises one              
          or more RF delay loops; wherein the RF signal train generator               
          further comprises means for receiving RF signals from a                     
          source; wherein the RF delay loops comprise means for storing               
          received RF signals, for regenerating replicas of stored RF                 
          signals, for aligning and varying alignments of regenerated                 
          replicas.
