Patent number: 10819037Abstract: Devices and systems, and methods of using them, for point-to-point transmission/communication of high bandwidth signals. Radio devices and systems may include a pair of reflectors (e.g., parabolic reflectors) that are adjacent to each other and configured so that one of the reflectors is dedicated for sending/transmitting information, and the adjacent reflector is dedicated for receiving information. Both reflectors may be in a fixed configuration relative to each other so that they are aligned to send/receive in parallel. In many variations the two reflectors are formed of a single housing, so that the parallel alignment is fixed, and reflectors cannot lose alignment. The device/systems may be configured to allow switching between duplexing modes. These devices/systems may be configured as wide bandwidth zero intermediate frequency radios including alignment modules for automatic alignment of in-phase and quadrature components of transmitted signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Ubiquiti Inc.Inventors: Gary D. Schulz, Paul Odlyzko, John R. Sanford, Christopher Fay, Jude Lee, Charles D. Macenski, Richard J. Keniuk, Lance D. Lascari

Patent number: 10656798Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a radio assembly. The radio assembly includes an antenna housing unit that houses a pair of reflectors which are situated on a front side of the antenna housing unit, a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes at least a transmitter and a receiver, and a backside cover. The PCB is situated within a cavity at a backside of the antenna housing unit and the backside cover covers the cavity, thereby enclosing the PCB within the antenna housing unit. One embodiment of the present invention provides a user interface for configuring a radio. The user interface includes a display and a number of selectable tabs presented on the display. A selection of a respective tab results in a number of user-editable fields being displayed, thereby facilitating a user in configuring and monitoring operations of the radio.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Ubiquiti Inc.Inventors: Gary Schulz, John Sanford, Lance Lascari, Christopher Fay, Richard Keniuk, Jude Lee, Charles Macenski

Patent number: 9397820Abstract: Radio devices having separate transmission and reception reflectors for transmitting and receiving wireless signals that detect interference in a transmission channel and may be automatically or manually switch duplexing schemes when reflections, radar or other interference is detected. These devices typically include both a transmission antenna reflector and a receiving transmitter reflector, which may be connected or formed of a single housing, that are operatively coupled to radio circuitry for transmission and reception of wireless signals. Interference, and particularly reflected signals between the transmitter and receiver, are avoided by including a detector coupled to either (or both) reflectors that monitors the transmitting frequency channel; reflections and/or radar signals may be detected and may trigger switching (manual or automatic switching) to a different duplexing modes such as frequency-division duplexing (FDD), time-division duplexing (TDD), etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.Inventors: Gary D.

Publication number: 20070245578Abstract: A system for monitoring inclination of a vehicle is disclosed, wherein the system comprises a clinometer in communication with a computer. The clinometer is configured to measure at least one inclination angle of the vehicle and send an electrical signal representing the at least one inclination angle to the computer. The computer is configured to transform the signal back into the at least one inclination angle and present a graphical display. The graphical display comprises at least one representation of the vehicle which rotates in real-time as the at least one inclination angle changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2006Publication date: October 25, 2007Inventors: Becky Clark, Tina Ricco, Christopher Fay
