Patent number: 11166146Abstract: Some embodiments of an emergency radio frequency (RF) repeater system includes a remotely adjustable conveyance characteristic between multiple antenna nodes and a repeater. Optionally, the characteristic may be adjusted independently for each node. Optionally, adjusting the conveyance characteristic after installation of system hardware simplifies system installation and/or facilitates precise balancing of conveyance and/or improves system performance. A conductive riser cable optionally carries multiple channels, for example including an RF signal and/or a communication/control signal and/or data and/or electrical power between system components. For example, the riser may carry a command to the adjustable coupler, to adjust a coupling factor between an antenna node and the riser. Optionally the riser includes a coaxial cable and/or is fire resistant. Optionally, portable transmitter location is estimated from received signal characteristics measured at nodes at different locations.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: HiRiseTech Ltd.Inventors: Itsick Ben Tolila, Gadi Shirazi

Patent number: 5475871Abstract: A communications system (10) comprising a base station (12) for controlling a control channel signal and a plurality of traffic channels and a communications device (17) responsive to the control channel signal (16) and receptive to the plurality of traffic channels. The communications device comprises a tuneable filter (48), having an adjustable characteristic, which substantially filters all but a selected traffic channel of the plurality of traffic channels. The communications device further comprises a tuning circuit (24, 38, 40, 44, 46, 52) for adjusting the filter characteristic. The tuning circuit (24, 38, 40, 44, 46, 52) uses the control channel signal (16) as an accurate central frequency (F.sub.o) for a passband of the tuneable filter (48) and adjusts the filter characteristic to substantially a minimum insertion loss at the accurate central frequency, thereby substantially optimizing selectivity and sensitivity for the communications device (17).Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1993Date of Patent: December 12, 1995Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Doron Shalev, Gadi Shirazi

Patent number: 5448620Abstract: FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate communications devices (30) that are operable in both a radio dispatch mode and a telephone interconnect mode. To mitigate the problem of a relatively high level audio signal from being unexpected broadcast from an ear-piece of the device (30) when the ear-piece is proximally located with an ear of a user of the device, the communications device (30) is arranged to ensure that, at least during an initial period of operation in either of the two operating modes, audio signals of relatively high level do not originate from the ear-piece, thereby preventing a change in audio power output from the ear-piece that may potentially cause damage to the hearing of a user of the radio communications device.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1993Date of Patent: September 5, 1995Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Izidor Gershkovich, Gil Rapoport, Eytan Ramon, Gadi Shirazi, Zalman Schwartzman, Aharon Kashtan

Patent number: 5408202Abstract: A phase lock loop comprises a phase detector (11), a frequency adjuster (13, 15) for adjusting and cancelling phase differences detected by said phase detector (11) and responsive thereto, and a filter (12) coupled between said phase comparator (11) and said frequency adjuster (13, 15). The phase lock loop has a first and a second operating mode (FIG. 5). Operation in said first operating mode is used to establish an initial lock acquisition to a desired output signal f.sub.out and uses a relatively wide bandwidth within the filter (12). At a transition from said first operating mode to said second operating mode, initial lock acquisition is lost, whereafter said second operating mode is used to re-establish final lock acquisition to the desired output frequency f.sub.out. A gain adjuster (15) commences the controlled adjustment of the gain of said phase comparator (11) at a transition between said first and said second operating modes.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1993Date of Patent: April 18, 1995Assignee: MotorolaInventors: Gadi Shirazi, Eyal Fayne, David Pincu
