  • Distributed reception wireless microphone system
    Patent number: 8670380
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of portable wireless transmitter units, a plurality of digital receiver modules that alternate transmitting wireless synchronization pulses and that receive information from the plurality of transmitter units synchronized to the synchronization pulses, a receiver control unit in communication with each of the receiver modules that coordinates transmission of synchronization pulses among the plurality of digital receiver modules in accordance with a predetermined transmission sequence and a system that receives the information from at least some of the microphone transmitter units through the receiver modules and delivers the information exclusively to a geographic area proximate a source of the audio information.

  • Method and apparatus that compensates for output power variations in a transmitter by using scaling factors to scale the baseband input signal
    Patent number: 5983085
    Abstract: In a base transceiver station in a cellular network, a digital signal processor generates a baseband input signal, which is converted to analog and transmitted by a transmitter at radio frequency. In accordance with the present invention, the baseband input signal is scaled by a selected factor from a predetermined table of scaling factors. The scaling factors are determined based on measured output power characteristics of the transmitter and provide frequency compensation caused by filtering ripple and/or attenuation compensation caused by uncertainties in internal attenuators.
