Patent number: 11671171Abstract: Low-noise block downconverter (LNB) of a satellite dish receives a request from a satellite broadcast signal receiver to transmit a signal for a channel to the receiver. If the channel requested by the receiver is different from a channel requested by another satellite broadcast signal receiver, the LNB in response provides a signal for the channel requested by the receiver at a frequency that is allocated to the receiver. If the channel requested by the receiver is the same as a channel requested by another satellite broadcast signal receiver, the LNB provides an instruction to the requesting receiver for the receiver to retune to the frequency used for the other satellite broadcast signal receiver. The requesting receiver can then receive the signal for said channel which is being provided by the LNB at the frequency used for the other satellite broadcast signal receiver.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2018Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: VESTEL ELEKTRONIK SANAYI VE TICARET A.S.Inventor: Ísmail Yilmazlar

Patent number: 11563509Abstract: A process for an electronically steerable parasitic array (ESPAR) antenna includes operating the ESPAR antenna with a receiver in Normal Mode until an internal flag is generated by the receiver indicating jamming RF noise preventing Normal Mode operation, causing the ESPAR antenna to switch to Anti-jam Mode. Anti-jam Mode includes a Search Mode and a Track Mode. The ESPAR antenna is steered in Search Mode, causing the ESPAR antenna to beam in a circular pattern to locate a spatial direction of the jamming RF noise, identify the spatial direction of the jamming RF noise preventing Normal Mode operation, and place a null in the spatial direction of the jamming RF noise. The ESPAR antenna switches to Track Mode to maintain the null in the spatial direction of the jamming RF noise until the jamming RF noise is not present. The ESPAR antenna then returns to operating in Normal Mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: David Carlos Dawson, Ricardo Santoyo-Mejia, Ronald B Thompson
