    摘要: An antenna control system is connected to an antenna (10) in order to control the position of the antenna. The system includes a motor (20) connected to the antenna for adjusting the position or vertical tilt angle of the antenna. A driver is provided for operating the motor. A sensor (30) is also provided to detect the position of the antenna. In addition, an antenna controller (40) is connected to an antenna memory, the driver, and the sensor, for reading the detected position of the antenna and for controlling the driver to adjust the antenna's position. A main controller (50) is connected to the antenna controller for sending commands to and reading data from the antenna controller. In this manner, the main controller can interface with any number of antennas at a base station and control the position or down-tilt of each antenna. According to one embodiment of the control system, a user interface (60) is also provided for entering commands to and reading data from the main controller. The interface can be provided at the base station or tower or at a remote location via, for example, modem. According to one embodiment of the invention the user interface is a laptop computer. A user or technician can then enter commands and monitor the position of the antennas from a remote location.

    摘要: A system for inductively cross coupling resonators. Two resonators are interconnected by a cross coupler with the two ends, each end having a hole. The holes secures each end of the cross coupler to one of the resonators. The use of a stamped piece as a cross coupler results in a repeatable placement between resonators that minimizes any variation in coupling between resonators due to human error during assembly. This repeatability reduces assembly time and assembly cost.

    摘要: A cavity filter which provides for fine tuning of the bandwidth of the filter. The filter provides for both capacitive cross-coupling and inductive coupling between physically adjacent but electrically non-adjacent resonators in the filter. The isolation of the filter can be fine tuned by adjusting the inductive coupling between these resonators, which has the effect of attenuating the cross-coupling effect between these resonators.

    摘要: The present invention incorporates triple-mode, mono-block resonators that are smaller and less costly. The size reduction has two sources. First, the triple-mode mono-block resonator has three resonators in one block. This provides a 3-fold reduction in size compared to filters currently used which disclose one resonator per block. Secondly, the resonators are not air-filled coaxial resonators as in the standard combline construction, but are dielectric-filled blocks. The coupling between modes is accomplished by the corner cuts. One oriented along the Y axis and one oriented along the Z axis. In addition, a third corner cut along the X axis can be used. Corner cuts are used to couple a mode oriented in one direction to a mode oriented in a second mutually orthogonal direction. Each coupling represents one pole in the filter's response. Therefore, the triple-mode mono-block discussed above represents the equivalent of three poles or three electrical resonators.

    摘要: A microwave coupler has a planar form with a transmission line segment oriented at an angle relative to a main transmission line. The planar form of the transmission line, such as in a printed circuit board, helps reduce the size and manufacturing costs for the coupler. When placed a prescribed distance from the main transmission line and oriented at an appropriate angle, the directivity and coupling factor requirements can be met precisely with minimal tuning. Where fine tuning is required, a tuning screw and resistor disposed adjacent to the transmission line segment are provided.

    摘要: This invention relates to a tapered slot antenna with broadband characteristics whose beamwidth is stable over both the PCS (1850-1990 MHz) and the cellular bands (824-894 MHz). In a first preferred embodiment, a dual band antenna is disclosed which uses a single column elliptically shaped Vivaldi notches (12, 13) as the radiating elements. In a second preferred embodiment, a dual band antenna comprising elliptically shaped Vivaldi notches (12, 13) and sub-reflector positioned between a main reflector and the dipoles is disclosed. This resultant antenna produces a stable, ninety-degree beamwidth with a bandwidth broad enough to cover the PCS and the cellular bands.

    摘要: An isolation improvement circuit for a dual-polarization antenna, the dual-polarization antenna consisting of both a transmitter and receiver antenna for simultaneously transmitting a transmission signal and receiving a receiver signal, in which the transmitter and receiver antennas are configured so as to be mutually orthogonal either by physical or electrical orientation in order to reduce how much of the transmitter signal is picked up by the receiver antenna. The isolation improvement circuit reduces the level of transmitter signal appearing at the output port of the receiver antenna by providing a time-delayed transmission signal that destructively interferes with the transmitter signal picked up by the receiver element. The time delay is provided by sizing a conductor used to convey the transmission signal to the output port of the receiver antenna, or to the receiver antenna and then to the output port, the sizing including not only selecting a length of the conductor, but also, optionally and depending on the type of conductor, adjusting any capacitive or inductive elements of the conductor.

The N by N transform matrix circuit has N input ports that respond to M input signals and provide N transform matrix input signals, where M is less than N. The N by N transform matrix circuit features at least one input port that does not receive an input signal but instead is coupled to ground. The N amplifiers respond to the transform matrix input signals and provide N amplified transform matrix input signals. The N by N inverse transform matrix circuit responds to the N amplified transform matrix input signals and provides N inverse transform matrix amplified output signals to output ports. Moreover, the N by N inverse transform matrix circuit features at least one output dissipation port that is coupled to ground to dissipate the intermodulation products contain thereon. In the power sharing amplifier system of the present invention, M and N are integers greater than 1 and 2 respectively, M is less than N, M is not equal to 6, and N is not equal to 8.

    摘要: A modular interconnect matrix (200) interconnects a plurality (M) of radio channel units (203) with a plurality (N) of antennas (202). Each radio channel unit (203) is connected to a first connector (222) on a corresponding first switching module (217) having a plurality (N) of seconds connectors (225). Each antenna (202) is connected to a first connector (212) of a corresponding antenna interface module (205) having a plurality (X) of second connectors (215). The second connectors (215,225) on the modules (205,217) are arranged for interconnection of at least one second connector (225) on each of the first switching modules (217) with at least one second connector (215) on each of the antenna interface modules (205). Each of the first switching modules (217) provides for the connection of the first switching module first connector (222) with any one of its second connectors (225) under control of a switch control portion of the matrix (240, 260, 263, 267), thereby allowing each radio channel unit (203) to be interconnected to any one of the antennas (202).
