Publication number: 20240137085Abstract: An antenna alignment device may have a camera that takes a line-of-sight image. For an antenna alignment device directed to a boresight of an antenna, the line-of-sight image is the “view” from the antenna to the surrounding environment. An antenna radiation pattern, based on the antenna type, may be overlaid on the line-of-sight image. A technician and or other user can therefore observe the radiation pattern vis-à-vis the surrounding environment. Therefore, it can be determined during the initial alignment stage, whether the antenna alignment may have to be changed to account for structures and or other blockages in the surrounding environment rather than just relying antenna alignment based on an ideal model site. The overlaying also speeds up troubleshooting as it can be used to provide clear and specific alignment instructions prior to deploying crew to the antenna site.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Viavi Solutions Inc.Inventors: Scott PETTYGROVE, Jim NEUENS

Patent number: 11956575Abstract: Mapping of ports to other network components is generated by physically bending a fiber optic cable and then determining which optical network terminals experience a signal power loss (or receive attenuated signals) based on the bending. The physical bending can be done using a bending tool and the optical network terminals that experience the signal power loss can be identified using a back-end database operation. Generally, the correspondence between the physical bending and the power loss at the downstream components and or upstream components of the network is used to create the mapping of the ports at the splitter level.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Viavi Solutions Inc.Inventors: David Hering, Karl Oberlin, Koji Okamoto
