摘要:
Rapid channel failure detection and recovery in wireless communication networks is needed in order to meet, among other things, carrier class Ethernet channel standards. Thus, resilient wireless packet communications is provided using a physical layer link aggregation protocol with a hardware-assisted rapid channel failure detection algorithm and load balancing, preferably in combination. This functionality may be implemented in a Gigabit Ethernet data access card with an engine configured accordingly. In networks with various topologies, these features may be provided in combination with their existing protocols.

A microstrip filter having a plurality of hairpin microstrip resonators each having two substantially rectangular legs connected at one end and generally configured in a “U” shape. The microstrip filter may comprise a first of the plural resonators operatively connected to a first feed point, a second of the plural resonators operatively connected to a second feed point, and a third of the plural resonators operatively connected between the first and second resonators where an end portion of one of the legs of one of the resonators is tapered so that a thickness of the one leg is greater at one end of the one leg than at another end of the one leg.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method, system, and processor instructions for calibrating a modular wide-range microwave communication system. In an exemplary embodiment, the system includes a first radio module including a calibration memory and radio circuitry (e.g., RF transmit, RF receive, and IF circuitry), a test signal processing system including a signal generator, measuring unit, memory, and a processor with instructions; and (for over-temperature tests) an oven or other controlled environment. The system is operable for controlling the signal generator to supply a series of test signals to the first radio module, for controlling the radio circuitry to set attenuation values, for controlling the measuring unit to determine characteristics (e.g., output power) of the radio circuitry based on the series of test signals, and for determining calibration values based on the series of test signals, attenuation values, and the determined characteristics of the radio circuitry, whereby the calibration values are stored in the calibration memory of the radio module. A modular wide-range transceiver using pre-calibrated modular units, and its operation, is also disclosed.

The present invention provides systems and methods for calibrating a transceiver. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of operating a modular wide-range microwave transceiver, each having precalibrated modules, comprises the steps of coupling the precalibrated modules to form a radio unit, each module having a module memory storing predetermined calibration values, coupling the radio unit to a signal processing unit, determining a first attenuation value by adjusting a first transmit attenuator to achieve a predetermined target output of a AGC detector, and storing the first attenuation value in a first module memory, and when an RF loopback switch is coupled as part of the radio unit, determining a received signal level (RSL) correction factor and transmit output power correction factor based on a loop-back switch insertion loss.

An apparatus and method for providing adaptive control of the output of a radio frequency coupler. A plurality of input signals is provided to a multi-prong divider/combiner, the divider/combiner having a first and a second input terminals communicating a first and a second input signals with a first and a second prong of the divider/combiner, the divider/combiner dividing/combining said signals into at least one output signal. A first auxiliary signal is provided to a receiving terminal of a first transmission line, the first transmission line electromagnetically manipulating signal transmission in the first prong such that a first manipulated signal is substantially different in magnitude than the first input signal and dividing/combining the manipulated signal and the second input signal to provide a controlled output signal.

Systems and methods for a coupling device are shown. In various embodiments, a variable frequency divider comprises a first transmission line and a second transmission line. The first transmission line may comprise a first and a second end. The first end may comprise a first terminal and the second end may comprise a first branch and a second branch. The first transmission line may be configured to receive a first signal at a first frequency at the first terminal and divide the first signal to output the divided first signal at the first branch and the second branch. The second transmission line may be proximate the first transmission line and configured to receive a second signal at a second frequency to control the frequencies of the output divided first signal at the first branch and the second branch through electromagnetic influence between the first transmission line and the second transmission line.

In various embodiments, a first and second complex multiplier may be configured to receive an input signal and provide a baseband I component signal and a baseband Q component signal, respectively. A first and second filter may be configured to filter the baseband I component signal and the baseband Q component signal, respectively. An equalizer may be configured to equalize the filtered baseband I component signal and the filtered baseband Q component signal. A carrier recovery portion may be configured to generate a reference signal based on the equalized filtered baseband I component signal and the equalized filtered baseband Q component signal. A first and second multilevel comparator may be configured to receive the equalized filtered baseband I component signal from the carrier recovery portion and provide an output I and receive the equalized filtered baseband Q component signal and provide an output Q signal for further modulation.
