Abstract: Disclosed is a method for changing operation mode of a weapon that is connected to a maintenance device via an umbilical providing signals and power to the weapon. The method includes transmitting a mode change control signal to electronics in the weapon via a pin on an electrical interface connecting the umbilical to the weapon, and switching the weapon from an operational mode to a non-operational mode and vice versa after receiving the mode change control signal. Also disclosed is a weapon and system including a unit for performing the method.

Abstract: A telecommunication system is described for transmitting signals between an adaptive antenna of a base station and a mobile user equipment. At least one uplink parameter of a signal received by the base station is calculated. The uplink parameter relates to a specific location of the mobile user equipment. At least one downlink parameter of a signal sent by the base station is evaluated. Said downlink parameter relates to the same specific location of the mobile user equipment. Said uplink parameter and said corresponding downlink parameter are stored in the base station.

Abstract: In a UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) wherein multiple base stations are able to communicate simultaneously with the same mobile station, with forward direction power control where the mobile station sends a transmit power control command to all base stations serving it, each base station is assigned an individual target value (TV1) from which the transmitted power level should not deviate on a long term average, thereby achieving high macrodiversity gain even under poor receiving conditions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an electronic circuit for clipping of at least first CS1 and second input CS2 signals to provide an output signal which does not exceed a predefined threshold, the electronic circuit comprising input means for inputting of a first sample of the first input signal and of a second sample of the second input signal, means 12 for applying a criterion on the first and second samples, means for clipping the first and/or second sample if the criterion is fulfilled in order to enable subsequent filter and summation operations of the first and second input signals such that the predefined threshold is not exceeded.

Abstract: A method is described of generating an electrical output signal (CFCS) from an electrical input signal (CS) wherein the input signal (CS) is first clipped (12) and then filtered (13) into the output signal (CFCS). The invention is characterized in that the input signal (CS) is clipped dependant on the succeeding filtering. Thereby, a finite power peak capacity of a succeeding amplifier is not exceeded.

The transmission includes at least two channels (DPDCH, DPCCH), e.g data and control. One of the two channels (DPDCH) is turned off if the power level of the transmission reaches a first maximum value (DPDCH-MAX).

Abstract: A method is described for operating a radio-based telecommunications system, in particular a UMTS telecommunications system. The data to be transmitted are transmitted in data frames, so-called frames. A plurality of frames are combined to form a group. A format-related indicator is transmitted for each frame. A number of permissible format-related indicators is specified in advance. The number of permissible format-related indicators is reduced as a function of the combination of frames in groups.

Abstract: In a UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) wherein multiple base stations are able to communicate simultaneously with the same mobile station, with forward direction power control where the mobile station sends a transmit power control command to all base stations serving it, a “feedback-type transmit power correction” is implemented wherein information (PL1, PL2) is transmitted about the current transmitted powers from the base stations (NB1, NB2) to a base station controller (SRNC) which evaluates this information to calculate a correction value (CV1) for the power transmitted by at least one (NB1) of the base stations, which then additionally changes its transmitted power by this correction value (CV1).

Abstract: The method makes it possible digitally to evaluate the phase of any carrier that has been subjected to rPSK modulation subsequent to clock recovery, sampling, and digitizing the in-phase and quadrature components of the samples, by processing that is performed in polar coordinates and that comprises reducing the range over which the phase of each sample is defined to a range of +.pi./r to -.pi./r and then seeking the center of gravity over 2.sup.N successive samples (N being an integer) by performing successive averaging calculations, each time on two values, in application of an N-stage tree structure. Each average of two values is associated with an index indicative of the degree of reliability of the average, and those averages which are associated with a small reliability index are ignored while calculating subsequent averages in the tree structure.
