摘要： An adaptive transceiver architecture which reallocates communications resources in real time based on the amount of bandwidth being used in communications channels in the system. The transceiver receives communications signals from a plurality of communications beam spots. Each communications beam spot has a predefined bandwidth divided into non-overlapping subbands. The transceiver further comprises a plurality of front end signal conditioners for receiving communications signals from an equal plurality of communications beam spots. A predetermined number of the conditioned signals are then combined by an interconnect. The interconnect receives composite signals from the front end signal conditioners, and it combines at least first and second communications signals from first and second respective composite signals to form an output processing signal. The first and second communications signals are received by the receiver from first and second communications beam spots, respectively, and the first and second composite signals are output from the first and second corresponding front end signal conditioners.

摘要： An ultrasonic liquid atomizer is disclosed in which the liquid feed to the atomizing surface extends axially through the atomizer. This arrangement enables improved and simplified coupling of the liquid supply tube to the atomizer. In a disclosed embodiment, rear and front horn sections sandwich a driver, and an atomizing section is coupled to the front horn section. A passage axially extends through the rear section, the driver, the front section and the atomizing section to an atomizing surface. The driver includes piezoelectric elements of annular configuration. A tubular member or a liquid supply tube itself is received in the passage. In a preferred embodiment, the tubular member of the liquid supply tube includes a decoupling sleeve section and a stepped portion adapted to engage a stepped portion in the rear section upon coupling the tubular member or liquid supply tube to the atomizer to draw the front and rear sections together.

摘要： A power gated variable hop cycle beam laydown (700) manifests itself as first cells (C, D) supported by a first hop cycle, second cells (G, H) supported by a second hop cycle, and transition cells (E, F) supported by a transition hop cycle. The transition hop cycle uses power gating to transition the laydown (700) from cells (C, D) operating at the first hop cycle to cells (G, H) operating at the second hop cycle. To this end, the transition hop cycle power gates its downlink beam for a portion of time needed to reduce interference between nearby (e.g., adjacent) cells.

摘要： A method 1100 and apparatus 1200 utilizing unbalanced modulation for providing users in a communication system with different amounts of effective communication energy according to their individual communication environments. A user's communication energy needs are determined based on conditions such as weather, signal-to-noise ratio, and cell location. Signals destined for a user are modulated according to the determined needs of the user. A signal destined for a user operating in a relatively friendly communication environment is modulated with less effective energy than a signal destined for a user operating in a relatively hostile communication environment.
