Abstract:
A master unit and a remote unit is provided for a multiband transmission system for distributing and combining signals of at least one wireless communication network and at least one digital network. A reference frequency generator is arranged in the master unit, the reference frequency generator being designed to clock a master modem for converting the signals of the at least one digital network. The reference frequency signal emitted by the reference frequency signal is restored via a reference frequency receiver and is used for closing a remote modem that is located there for demodulation.
Abstract:
A repeater (1) particularly suitable for a time-division duplex transmission of communication signals is provided. The repeater (1) comprises a master unit (2) for communicating with a base station (3) of a wireless network, at least one remote unit (4) for communicating with a network terminal, as well as a waveguide (11) connecting the remote unit (4) with the master unit (2) for transmitting the communication signals in an uplink direction (6) from the remote unit (4) to the master unit (2) and in a downlink direction (5) from the master unit (2) to the remote unit (4). Both the master unit (2) and the remote unit (4) comprise one switch (19, 20) each for changing over the signal transmission between uplink direction (6) and downlink direction (5). Both switches (19, 20) are selected by a synchronizing unit (21) arranged in the master unit (2), the synchronizing unit (21) being designed for determining a clock pulsing from the communication signal fed to the master unit (2)—in particular from the base station (3)—and for supplying a control signal corresponding to this clock pulsing to the switches (19, 20).
Abstract:
An interface module (4) for a unit (1, 2) which is designed to transmit and/or amplify essential communication signals inside an antenna distribution system (29) is specified, said module comprising a first analog interface (6) for forwarding and receiving essential communication signals from mobile terminals (32), a second interface (7) for forwarding and receiving essential communication signals from the antenna distribution system (29), at least one signal path (9, 10) for forwarding the received communication signals between the two interfaces (6, 7), and a controllable digital unit (11) which incorporates the signal path (9, 10) and has means for digitizing incoming communication signals and for subjecting outgoing communication signals to analog conversion. In this case, the digital unit (11) is designed to identify essential communication signals in the digitized communication signals, to mask the remaining signals and to forward the essential communication signals. An antenna distribution system (29) having at least one master unit (2) and a number of remote units (1) which are connected to the latter and are equipped with such an interface module (4) is also specified. The invention makes it possible to use the advantages of a modern radio network architecture to communicate on essential communication channels.

Abstract:
A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) signal is retransmitted using a single input single output (SISO) repeater, which includes Rayleigh channel simulators associated with each separate MIMO channel. Before being combined and transmitted over a single channel, the transmission undergoes simulated Rayleigh fading. The signal is then retransmitted to be received by a MIMO-equipped receiver.
Abstract:
In a vector network analyzer with a transmitting and, a receiving side, each including a downward mixing super heterodyne receiver, a high voltage power supply for providing an accelerating voltage is arranged in series with a second power supply with a controllable lower output voltage so that unavoidable voltage variations in the acceleration voltage can be controlled. The second power supply is connected to the output of a phase and frequency discriminator by way of an amplifier and a low-pass filter. The discriminator has two inputs, one receiving the downwardly mixed transmitting side signal and the other the signal provided by a reference oscillator having a constant frequency. As millimeter wave oscillator a backward wave oscillator is used whose frequency drifting by temperature changes or by aging is compensated for by a control signal for the second power supply, which control signal is derived from the phase and frequency discriminator.
