  • Publication number: 20210313934
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to more accurately determine reflected power, reflection coefficient, and/or voltage standing wave to permit prompt protection of components such as power amplifiers and notify communication system operators. This is accomplished by more accurately determining an amplitude and phase of an output reflected signal at an output port of a bidirectional coupler as a function of the following: an amplitude and a phase of a coupled forward signal coupled into a forward coupled port of the bidirectional coupler; an amplitude and a phase of a coupled reverse signal coupled into a reverse coupled port of the bidirectional coupler; an electrical transmission parameter from an input port of the bidirectional coupler to the forward coupled port; an electrical transmission parameter from the input port to the reverse coupled port; and an electrical transmission parameter from an output port of the bidirectional coupler to the reverse coupled port.

  • Publication number: 20210164132
    Abstract: The method is used for the automatic operation of a ring spinning system (1) which contains a ring spinning machine (2) having a plurality of spinning positions (21) and a winding machine (3) having a plurality of winding positions (31). Yarn (92) is spun at one of the spinning positions (21) and wound up to a cop (91). For the spinning position (21), values of a parameter characteristic for the operation of the spinning position (21) are determined during the winding of the cop (91) and stored as spinning data. The spinning data are assigned to the cop (91). The cop (91) is set down from the spinning position (21). The spinning data assigned to the cop (91) is taken into account when deciding whether to feed the cop (91) after it has been set down to one of the winding positions (31). The automatic assignment is based on an identification of a point in time of winding of the cop (91) and an identification of the spinning position (21) at which the cop (91) was wound.

  • Patent number: 10374697
    Abstract: A telecommunications system may be configured to improve linearity and blocking. In some aspects, the telecommunications system may include a duplexer for coupling a common port to a receive path and a transmit path. A distributed low-noise amplifier having two or more separate active devices (e.g., amplifiers) may be positioned in the receive path. A filtering element (e.g., a band-pass filter) may be positioned between the two or more separate active devices. A signal may be routed by the duplexer through the distributed low-noise amplifier. The filtering element may attenuate transmit signals in the receive path.
