Abstract: A portable satellite phone is integrated into a communication system. The portable satellite phone forms a highly directed beam toward a satellite and adaptively maintains a beam to track the satellite as the portable satellite phone and/or the satellite moves relative to each other. A communication system based on the portable satellite phones may link a portable satellite phone with either another portable satellite phone or a ground based communication system connected to conventional telephone stations. The portable satellite phone includes a steering information detector or both a steering information detector and a proximity detector. The steering information detector has a bearing sensor, an attitude sensor and GPS signal receivers for position detection. The portable satellite phone also includes a database that contains the positional information of all potential communication satellites. The proximity detector detects objects that may interfere with the antenna beam. The proximity detector includes infrared sensors, sonar detectors, motion detectors and optical devices to determine a range and bearing of objects that may interfere with the antenna beam. When an object may be harmed or interfere with the antenna beam, an alarm may be activated to warn the user and/or the object of potential harm from the electro-magnetic energy transmitted by the directed antenna.

Abstract: An antenna assembly, and an associated method, facilitates communication of a radiotelephone operable in a satellite communication system, such as a satellite-cellular communication system. A patch antenna is rotatably coupled to a radiotelephonic housing of the radiotelephone. The patch antenna exhibits circular polarization characteristics, best to detect and to transmit communication signals to a satellite-based transceiver. By positioning patch antennas at opposing sides of the radiotelephone, down-link signals transmitted to the radiotelephone are detectable irrespective of the orientation of the radiotelephone.

Abstract: An antenna structure (10) includes a plurality of transmit linear elements (22a-22d) arranged parallel to one another and a plurality of receive linear elements (24a-24d) also arranged parallel to one another. Individual ones of the plurality of transmit elements are spaced apart from one another and have one of the plurality of receive elements disposed therebetween. A width of each of the plurality of transmit elements and the plurality of receive elements varies periodically along a length of the element thus periodically modulating each element. A narrowest width portion of a transmit element is disposed adjacent to a widest width portion of an adjacently disposed receive element, and vice versa, minimizing coupling between the elements. Transmit amplifiers (16a, 16b) and receive amplifiers (30a, 30b) are located at opposite ends of an antenna stalk body (36) where the transmit amplifiers and receive amplifiers are intimately associated with their respective antenna elements, minimizing losses.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically entering information into formatted messages. A communication terminal comprises a receiver for receiving a formatted message, the formatted message comprising a message identification code and a plurality of information fields. A memory contains field-mapping information corresponding to various message identification codes, the field-mapping information indicating which fields of a particular formatted message are to be copied into information fields of a response message to the formatted message. When a response to the formatted message is desired, a processor determines which formatted message to respond to and its corresponding message identification code. A response message is then created, comprising at least one information field, wherein information from one or more of the information fields from the formatted message is copied into the at least one information field of the response message based on the field-mapping information identified by the message identification code.
