Patent number: 10917860Abstract: Some implementations of the disclosure are directed to a satellite terminal comprising: a modem; and a radio frequency unit (RFU) configured to amplify and frequency upconvert a transmit signal for transmission over an inroute channel of a satellite communications network, the RFU comprising: an input power meter configured to measure a first power level of an intermediate frequency (IF) signal transmitted from the modem to an input of the RFU; an upconverter configured to frequency upconvert the IF signal to obtain a radio frequency (RF) signal; and an output power meter configured to measure a second power level of the RF signal. By taking the readings from the input and output power meters of the RFU, one or more calibration related functions, including a determination of the power loss due to the IF cable or a determination of the upconverter's gain, may be automatically performed at the satellite terminal.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Guy Montgomery, George Choquette

Patent number: 10601498Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a system to maximize efficiency as a mobile terminal receives data signals transmitted through multiple satellite spot beams. The multiple spot beams can be broadcast via a single satellite or multiple satellites. As a mobile terminal travels throughout a region, the system determines which spot beam would delivers data in the most efficient manner possible. This system takes into account multiple factors, including but not limited to velocity of the mobile terminal, traffic within a spot beam, business affiliations, etc. Once the system takes into account the various factors, an embodiment of the present invention generates a relative weighted factor that is subsequently associated with various available spot beams. Based on rankings of the weighted factors associated with each spot beam, the system may choose to receive data from a different spot beam.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventors: Rajeev Gautam Oza, Guy Montgomery, Peter Johns

Patent number: 9854544Abstract: Power spectral density in an aeronautical satellite communication system is controlled through the use of adaptive inroute selection and spreading. Once a communication session has been established between the aircraft and the satellite, environmental conditions and aircraft conditions are monitored to detect events capable of affecting transmit/receive properties during the communication session. A maximum allowable transmission output is determined based, at least in part, on governmental regulations and the conditions being monitored. One or more transmit parameters are adjusted during the time interval in order to maintain transmission output power of the aircraft terminal below the maximum allowable transmission output power.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2017Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Bahman Salamat, Jack Lundstedt, Yezdi Antia, Guy Montgomery, John Schmid

Patent number: 9473193Abstract: A mobile terminal for satellite communications receives communication, e.g., from a gateway via a satellite link. A frequency lock loop unit locks to the carrier frequency of the received communication. The mobile terminal includes a global positioning system for receiving global positioning data. The mobile terminal determines the Doppler frequency shift of the received communications based on the global positioning data. The mobile terminal generates a reference clock for return transmissions based on the frequency of the frequency lock loop, corrected for the Doppler shift. A correction factor of two times the determined Doppler frequency shift is used, to compensate for both a forward and return transmission link.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventors: Jack Lundstedt, John Schmid, Guy Montgomery, Bahman Salamat, George Eapen, Yeqing Tang, Brian Smith
