Abstract:
An outdoor communication unit (ODU) for implementation within a dual channel microwave backhaul system, is provided. The ODU includes an radio frequency (RF) module, having digital capabilities, which is configured to utilize the digital capabilities to perform adaptive adjustments to correct errors in data in a digital domain, a conversion block configured to convert the data between an analog domain and the digital domain, and a processing module configured to adaptively adjust a characteristic of the data and a characteristic of a dual channel wireless link, and to facilitate a transmission of the data over the dual channel wireless link by performing mathematical manipulation techniques. In particular, the characteristic of the data and of the dual channel wireless link are adaptively adjusted, according to a detected condition, using a hitless adaptive coding modulation (ACM) technique to optimize the transmission of the data over the dual channel wireless link.

Abstract:
An all outdoor communication unit (ODU) microwave backhaul system and a split ODU microwave backhaul system, each configured to support a dual channel wireless link, are provided. Each microwave backhaul system includes an ODU having a processor configured to improve a quality of data (having a first and a second communication channel) by performing mathematical manipulation techniques on the data, a conversion, block configured to perform digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversions of the data, and a duplexer configured to facilitate substantially simultaneous communication of the first and second communication channels over the dual channel wireless link by optimizing a frequency separation between the first and second communication channels. Each microwave backhaul system also includes a modem assembly, located at either the ODU or at an indoor communication unit (IDU), which is configured to substantially simultaneously drive the first and second communication channels over the dual channel wireless link.
Abstract:
A stacked synthesizer for wide local oscillator (LO) generation using a dynamic divider. The phase locked loop can include a plurality of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), and a selector that can be configured to select an output of one of the plurality of VCOs. The selected output of one of the plurality of VCOs can be provided to an on-chip dynamic divider and to an off-chip dynamic divider for LO sharing. The dynamic dividers can be configured to generate synthesizer outputs based on a multiplication of the selected output of one of the plurality of VCOs by a factor (1+1/M), where M is a variable number.
Abstract:
A point-to-point (PtP) communication system includes a near end antenna device configured to transmit a narrow antenna beam over a wireless link, and includes a far end antenna device configured receive the narrow antenna beam over the wireless link. The near end antenna device including a directive element configured to focus an electrical field into the narrow antenna beam, and including a beam steering element (e.g., a phased array feeder (PAF) assembly) configured to generate the electrical field and to track the far end antenna, and further including a communication interface unit (e.g., an outdoor unit) configured to perform operations on a transmitted signal and a received signal.
