  • Miniaturized satellite transceiver
    Patent number: 7667643
    Abstract: Described is a miniaturized satellite transceiver for communicating with a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite and a communications satellite. The miniaturized satellite transceiver includes an integrated GPS receiver configured to receive communications from the GPS satellite, a satellite modem configured to transmit and receive communications from the communications satellite, and an operating system. The miniaturized satellite transceiver is installable in a hand-held device, a mobile satellite transceiver system, or an in-flight transceiver and locator system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2010
    Assignee: Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation
    Inventors: Greg Handermann, Leslie Snively, Paul Ebert, James Mastropole, Christopher Thorne, David Rampersad, Farhad Verahrami

  • Robust carrier identifying method and apparatus for bandwidth-on-demand (BOD) system
    Patent number: 6711710
    Abstract: An approach for identifying a particular carrier among a plurality of carriers in a satellite communication system is disclosed. A transmitter multiplies an encoded signal by a prescribed periodic sequence to form a watermarked signal and transmits the watermarked signal associated with a particular carrier over a communication channel. A receiver tunes to one of the carriers and extracts a data sequence from the one carrier. The receiver multiplies the data sequence with the prescribed periodic sequence to form another watermarked signal and determines whether the watermarked signals match.
