摘要:
A wireless local area network (WLAN) includes a server and receiver, which includes a radio frequency (RF) front-end circuit that receives wireless signals from the mobile nodes within the WLAN and detects baseband signals. A signal waveform detector edge detects a signal waveform and generates a trigger signal indicative of the modulation type, data format and time-of-arrival (TOA) information of a desired signal to be captured. A baseband processor receives the trigger signal from the signal waveform detector and captures the desired signal. A system controller is connected to the baseband processor and configures the baseband processor for processing the desired signal and obtaining message data and signal metrics that are transferred to the system controller to be communicated outbound from the receiver as a client to the server.
摘要:
A method for heating an object having a variable weight that includes a medium is provided. The method comprises: (A) placing the object having the variable weight including medium into an enclosure; (B) initiating a heating process by subjecting medium including the object having the variable weight to a variable AC electrical field; and (C) controlling the heating process. The object has substantially absorbed medium in a first “cool” state and therefore includes a maximum weight in the first “cool” state due to absorption of medium. The object is substantially free from medium in a second “heated” state due to substantial release of medium from the object, wherein the released medium is evaporated during the heating process. The heating process is completed when the object is substantially transitioned into the second “heated” state. The method further comprises using an air flow having an ambient temperature inside the enclosure to carry away the evaporated medium from the enclosure.

A location system for tracking assets within a terminal includes a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) reference receiver within the terminal that receives GPS signals and generates DGPS correction data. In one aspect, a roving receiver unit is carried by an asset to be tracked within the terminal. It includes a GPS receiver that receives GPS signals and the DGPS correction data from the DGPS reference receiver. A tag transmitter transmits a wireless RF signal containing GPS location data based on received GPS signals and DGPS correction data. At least one access point is positioned within the terminal for receiving the wireless RF signal from the tag transmitter. A processor is operatively connected to the at least one access point for receiving GPS location data and determining a location of the asset to be tracked.

摘要:
An RF power transistor is mounted on a ceramic substrate with a plurality of input leads extending from one edge of the substrate, a plurality of output leads extending from an opposite edge of the substrate, a plurality of input ground leads with ground leads positioned between adjacent input leads, and a plurality of output ground leads with ground lead positioned between adjacent output leads. All ground leads are ohmically connected with the current paths between adjacent ground leads reduced in length.

A planar balun including first and second spaced parallel elongated conductors on one surface of a ceramic, plastic, polymer, synthetic fiber or a composite substrate and a third elongated conductor on a second surface of the substrate opposite from the first and second conductors. The spacing from an outer edge of each of the first and second conductors to an outer edge of the third conductor being greater than the thickness of the ceramic substrate, and the spacing between the two parallel elongated conductors being greater than ##EQU1## The substrate is mounted on a metallic support plate which provides a ground plane spaced from the third conductor by a distance t2 in an atmosphere comprising air with the distance t2 being greater than ##EQU2## An input of the balun is at one end of the first and second conductors and an output of the balun is at the other end of the first and second conductors. One end of the third elongated conductor on the second surface is grounded to force a balance at the two outputs.
摘要:
An RF power device including a DMOS field effect transistor has increased efficiency and reduced distortion. A capacitor is connected between the gate and source input of the transistor which swamps non-linear variations of the parasitic capacitance (C.sub.GD) between the gate and drain, thereby offsetting the Miller effect of the feedback provided by the MOS transistor parasitic capacitance. The capacitor, the Ciss of the MOS transistor, and the inductance of input leads provide a device input resonant frequency between the input signal fundamental frequency and the first harmonic.
