  • Patent number: 7747000
    Abstract: Various embodiments are configured to transform characteristics of a communication signal. One embodiment is a method comprising decreasing amplitude of a first detected portion of the communication signal so that the decreased amplitude is in close proximity to a predefined specification; and increasing amplitude of a second portion of the communication signal so that the increased amplitude is in close proximity to the predefined specification, thereby resulting in a transformed communication signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7707446
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a system and method for reducing power consumption in frame and cell data transmission systems. A transmitter power manager powers down (turns off) selected elements of a transmitter system during periods of transmitter inactivity. The transmitter power manager system detects incoming communication signals which are to be transmitted by the transmitter, and at the appropriate time, powers up (turns on) the selected elements which are controlled by the transmitter power manager.

  • Patent number: 6782096
    Abstract: A subscriber line driver (SLD) is provided for the continuous and automatic transformation of the characteristics of a communication system signal so that the signal conforms to a power spectral distribution (PSD) standard. The signal is transformed by the SLD which may increase (amplify) portions of the signal to a predefined specification, decrease (attenuate) portions of the signal to a predefined specification, and/or frequency modulate or filter the transmit signal frequencies to fit within the communication channel frequency bandwidth as defined by a predefined frequency band. After modification by the SLD, the transformed communication signal is injected (transmitted) into a communication transmission line. An SLD device can be employed in a variety of communication systems such as a public telephony system, a private branch exchange (PBX), a coaxial cable system, a fiber optic system, a microwave system, a radio communication system or the like.
