    摘要: A compact, low cost antenna communicates with low and medium earth orbit satellites. The antenna includes a plurality of micro-strip elements arranged about an axis and positioned to illuminate upper elevation angles. The micro-strip elements are perpendicular to each other and are oriented toward the horizon at 90 degree increments. Furthermore, the micro-strip elements are tilted at a 50 degree angle. A quadrifilar helix is positioned at the center of the micro-strip elements and positioned to illuminate lower elevation angles. The micro-strip elements generate an omni-directional field pattern in the azimuth plane. The quadrifilar helix generates a high-gain, narrow beam-width field pattern that is also omni-directional in the azimuth plane. The antenna provides improved immunity to specular ground reflections by limiting reception of signals below a threshold elevation angle. Also, the antenna provides continuous, uninterrupted communications by eliminating "dead" period associated with conventional parabolic dish antennas.

    摘要: A portable phone unit for use in satellite communication systems has a vertically correcting antenna module pivotally secured to the handset for free rotation about a pivot axis. The module contains a mechanism, such as a gravitational counterweight for urging the module to pivot into a predetermined vertical orientation regardless of the handset orientation. An antenna projects from the module in a direction which is vertically upright when the module is in its predetermined vertical orientation. A mast mounted antenna module can also be used to take advantage of dissimilar antenna segment weights for multiple frequency antennas. As the handset is moved into an angular orientation, the module pivots under the weight of the counterweight, or a portion of the antenna itself, until the antenna is oriented vertically.

    摘要: A mobile wireless terminal (MWT) includes multiple wireless modems. The multiple modems have their respective transmit outputs combined to produce an aggregate transmit output. The multiple modems can concurrently transmit data in a reverse link direction and receive data in a forward link direction. The MWT is constrained to operate under an aggregate transmit power limit. Each of the multiple modems has an individual transmit limit related to the aggregate transmit power limit. When operating, over-limit ones of the multiple modems are deactivated and then reactivated to keep an aggregate transmit power of all of the modems below the aggregate limit, and to maximize data through-put on the forward and reverse links.

The multiple modems can concurrently transmit data in a reverse link direction and receive data in a forward link direction. The MWT is constrained to operate under an aggregate transmit power limit. Each of the multiple modems has an individual transmit limit related to the aggregate transmit power limit. An MWT controller adjusts the individual transmit power limits in the multiple modems based on an aggregate transmit power limit of the MWT and respective transmit power estimates from the modems, to cause each individual transmit power limit to track a corresponding individual modem transmit power.
