          Appeal No. 1999-2688                                                        
          Application No. 08/751,057                                                  


          signals.  In particular, a processor connected to the IQ                    
          output of the demodulator determines an associated IQ value                 
          address in a data memory for each IQ value and a respective                 
          frequency is stored under each address of the data memory,                  
          wherein the respective frequency is a frequency with which a                
          respective address, thereby the corresponding IQ value, has                 
          been determined in a predetermined acquisition time.  That is,              
          each address has stored thereunder, the number of times a                   
          signal status occurs within a predetermined acquisition time.               
          The predetermined acquisition time is set by a control switch.              
          If the processor determines, within the predetermined time                  
          span, that an IQ value is allocated to an address of the data               
          memory, and thereby to a respective pixel position, the                     
          processor increases the content of that data memory address by              
          one.  In this manner, under each address of the data memory is              
          stored the frequency with which this address, and thereby the               
          associated pixel, respectively occurs.                                      


               Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as                    
          follows:                                                                    


                                          2
