  • Publication number: 20240388265
    Abstract: A technology is described for a wide-band radio frequency amplifier using cross-over diplexers. A first port is configured to receive RF signals in a wide-band RF spectrum. A cross-over diplexer splitter is coupled to the first port. The cross-over diplexer splitter is configured to filter the RF signals in the wide-band RF spectrum into a low frequency (LF) signal having an LF pass-band and a high frequency (HF) signal having an HF pass-band with the LF pass-band crossing the HF pass-band at a cross-over frequency. An HF RF amplifier is configured to amplify the HF signal to form an amplified HF signal. An LF RF amplifier configured to amplify the LF signal to form an amplified LF signal. A cross-over diplexer combiner is configured to combine the amplified HF signal and the amplified LF signal and output amplified RF signals in the wide-band RF spectrum.

  • Publication number: 20240322992
    Abstract: A technology is described for a repeater that is switchable between a duplex mode and a simplex mode. The repeater comprises a first antenna port coupled to a first antenna, a second antenna port coupled to a second antenna, and a third antenna port coupled to a third antenna. The repeater further comprises first direction amplification paths coupled between the first antenna port and the second antenna port and second direction amplification paths coupled between the first antenna port and one of the second antenna port and the third antenna port. A controller can switch the repeater between a duplex mode, to communicate a first-direction RF signal from the second antenna port and communicate a second-direction RF signal to the second antenna port, and a simplex mode, to communicate the first-direction RF signal from the second antenna port and communicate the second-direction RF signal to the third antenna port.

  • Publication number: 20180101514
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for reducing cycle time of automatically created spreadsheets. Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention provides a way to create a spreadsheet from data that is in a native format more quickly and/or efficiently. To do so, the invention accesses a control file using optimized settings to create the spreadsheet. Then, after creation of the spreadsheet, the invention uses a second control file having the final settings to modify the spreadsheet in preparation for output. The invention may use agents to perform all or a portion of these activities.

  • Patent number: RE46038
    Abstract: An assembly that has a rotator element, a sensor element coupled to the rotator element or assembly, and a controller element provides azimuth antenna control. The rotator element has a worm gear driven stewing ring having a through hole through which a feed line to an antenna may be inserted to accommodate continuous rotation of greater than 360 degrees or partial rotation in either direction of the antenna coupled to the rotator element. The controller element is coupled to the rotator element and to the sensor element, and the controller element receives feedback information concerning a current azimuth position of the antenna from the sensor element to control the rotator element to rotate to a future azimuth position of the antenna in accordance with a selected azimuth function and the feedback information provided by the sensor element.
