  • Patent number: 11382526
    Abstract: A system for generating a traveling field free line, traveling along a propagation direction different from the orientation of said traveling field free line, said system comprising at least a first and a second coil assembly, wherein said first coil assembly is configured for generating a first stationary field free line at a first location when a current is flowing in the first coil assembly and the second coil assembly is current free, and wherein said second coil assembly is configured for generating a second stationary field free line at a second location, when a current is flowing in the second coil assembly and the first coil assembly is current free. The system further comprises a controller configured for driving the first and second coil assemblies with corresponding driving currents synchronized with each other, such that said traveling field free line travels along the propagation direction from a first location towards a second location.

  • Patent number: 9853344
    Abstract: A feed network arrangement for generating a multi-antennae signal includes a plurality of coupler devices coupled to one another in waveguide technique, and a plurality of adjustable length of line devices. At least one of the plurality of adjustable length of line devices is coupled to at least one of the plurality of coupler devices, where the one of the plurality of adjustable length of line device is configured to calibrate an electrical length of a supply line of the at least one of the plurality of coupler devices, In addition, the plurality of coupler devices are arranged such that a plurality of inputs of the feed network arrangement are disposed on a first side of the feed network arrangement and a plurality of outputs of the feed network arrangement are disposed on a second side of the feed network arrangement.

  • Patent number: 4817117
    Abstract: For synchronizing a data block in a receiver, there are transmitted consecutively and prior to the data block: a first bit sequence of alternating "0" and "1" levels for determining the bit clock and a second bit sequence for determining the block synchronization by correlation. In known methods of determining the bit clock, the phase range of the individual bits of the received digital signal is divided into sub-intervals and the phase position of the bit clock is determined on account of the number of edges in these sub-intervals. In order to avoid fading and phase jitter having a detrimental effect on the bit synchronism, more specifically when transmitting through radio transmission links, N-phase-shifted clocks having the same clock frequency are generated in the receiver by means of which the first bit sequence is sampled.
