摘要:
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for preventing unauthorized reading of identifying data stored in tags are described. A secure access identification number and associated read lock password are received. The secure access identification number and associated read lock passcode are transferred to the tag. The tag stores the secure access identification number and read lock passcode. A read lock command is transmitted to the tag. The tag is locked from being read for selected information, such as identifying information and user information, by the read lock command. In a further aspect, the secure access identification number is read from the read locked tag. The secure access identification number is associated with a passcode. The passcode is transmitted to the read locked tag. The tag disables the read lock if the passcode matches the previously received read lock password.

A system and method in a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag for responding to RFID reader communication signals is described. A strength of a signal from a reader is measured. A RFID read signal is received from the reader. A response to the read signal is enabled based on the measured strength.

A system and method employing an access terminal for maintaining discontinuous communications including a gateway receiver for receiving the discontinuous information, a radio frequency (RF) communication link via geosynchronous earth orbit satellite for conveying multiple communication channels using time division multiple access (TDMA), the access terminal initiating information communication with the receiver via at least one of the multiple communication channels. The access terminal further includes a memory for storing protocol processing information and a transmitter for establishing the radio frequency communication link to the receiver of the terrestrial gateway system. The access terminal memory provides for destroying of a signal pattern or protocol assigned to the access terminal by the gateway receiver or transmission of keep-alive bursts by the transmitter during periods of inactivity to maintain information communication with the receiver.

A method and apparatus for performing fractional minimum shift key modulation for a very small aperture terminal. A signal with a fractional modulation which appears to be frequency shift key is generated in the indoor unit. The outdoor unit employs a novel multiplication method to translate this signal to a minimum shift key modulated signal for satellite transmission.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for verifying singulated tags are described. A radio frequency (RF) signal is transmitted to provide power to at least one tag. A powered tag is singulated. A delay time period is waited. A read verify command is transmitted to the singulated tag. A response is received to the read verify command. The response to the read verify command is verified to determine whether it was received from the singulated tag.
摘要:
A frequency generation device for a satellite communication system composed of a central hub station and a number of remote units. The remote units contain a single synthesizer located in an indoor unit. In this invention, the indoor-located synthesizer is a direct digital synthesizer which modulates the baseband signal and conveys the modulated signal to an outdoor unit for communication between the remote unit and the central hub. In the outdoor unit, the signal is converted directly by a fixed number to a Ku band frequency and transmitted to the central hub.

A remote ground terminal transmitter for transmitting a modulated data signal having a constant envelope amplitude. The remote ground terminal transmitter comprises a source of data signals, a modulator for providing a carrier signal, receiving a data signal from the source of data signals, and modulating the carrier signal with the received data signal so as to produce a constant envelope minimum shift key modulation signal. The transmitter further comprises a power amplifier which operates in the saturation mode to amplify the modulated carrier signal produced by the modulator to the desired power level.

A method and system for using a low-cost, fixed output power radio in a multi-carrier communication system is disclosed herein. This system measures the output power of the multiple channel units within the system, obtains the current output power of the system, calculates a composite power and an expected power, compares the expected power and the current output power to calculate a gain adjustment value, and adjusting the output power of the system via the amplifier. The method for adjusting the power can also allow at least one of the carriers in the multi-carrier system to operate in a burst mode, and at least one of the remaining carriers to operate in a continuous mode during power measurement and gain adjustment steps.
摘要:
A burst analyzer is useful in a digital communication system in which a signal burst has a plurality of reference segments distributed within the signal burst for transmission of a plurality of reference signals. The burst analyzer includes a filter that compares the received signal, for each reference segment thereof, with each reference signal offset by one of a plurality of time offsets to generate correlation data. The burst analyzer then determines, for each reference segment of the signal burst, a maximum correlation value from the correlation data for each time offset. Then the burst analyzer determines the time offset at which a sum of the maximum correlation values, over the plurality of reference segments, is a maximum. The burst analyzer jointly generates a frequency domain representation of the correlation data associated with the time offset at which the maximum correlation sum is a maximum, and then determines a frequency at which the frequency domain representation is a maximum.
摘要:
The present invention is embodied in a method an apparatus for reducing the number of leased E1 lines needed to backhaul communication traffic in a satellite communication situation. The present invention receives and decompressed a satellite signal. A copy of the compressed signal is then encoded into the least significant bits (LSBs) of the decompressed signal. The decompressed signal having the embedded information may be routed to an international PSTN network over leased communications lines. However, the compressed information is extracted from the decompressed signal and sent across the E1 lines, thereby conserving communication bandwidth and reducing the number of leased lines required. After passing through the E1 lines the information is decompressed and connected to the international PSTN network. Alternatively, the decompressed signal having the embedded information may be distributed to local PSTN networks, which interpret decompressed signals. The degradation in voice quality of the decompressed signal due to the embedding of the compressed information in negligible.
