  • Publication number: 20220329100
    Abstract: A system is for monitoring a power distribution network having mast constructions carrying at least one power line. The system has at least two smart modules, each being affixed to a respective mast construction and designed for wireless communication with each other for forming a main wireless communication network along the power line. The system has a sensor system affixed to a respective one of the mast constructions. The sensor system is designed for determining at least one quantity or event of the network and for communicating the quantity or event to a respective smart module, which are designed for communicating information associated with the quantity or event along the network, for being remotely monitored. The smart modules are placed outside the Live working and Vicinity zones in accordance with the EN50110-1 standard for power networks, and at least one sensor system is contained in each smart module itself.

  • Patent number: 9941599
    Abstract: A three band whip antenna has a base where the whip antenna along its whole length or part of its length, has a lowest frequency band antenna element and an intermediate frequency band antenna element, wherein a highest frequency band antenna is included in the whip antenna at a position closer to base than the intermediate frequency band antenna element.

  • Patent number: 9442147
    Abstract: A method and device are for calibrating an antenna. At least one switch is spanning sections of a radiating antenna element. A controller is designed to selectively close the switch to be conductive, thus effectively short-circuiting the actual section of the antenna element. The method includes: installing the antenna for field use at least for transmission or reception of signals; then measuring the reflected power from the antenna at least for a number of frequencies or frequency ranges at more than one setting of the switch; and storing the settings that gives a desirable result of reflected power at an actual frequency or frequency range.
