  • Publication number: 20120071161
    Abstract: This invention addresses a method of whereby a cellular base station can scan the radio band to identify radio channels that are not in use, then claim those un-used radio channels for use to transmit and receive radio signals. A plurality of such radio base station could then comprise a cellular radio network, which channel planning and frequency re-use has become autonomous and self organizing. The present disclosure aims to further expand the utility and function of such self organizing cellular networks by including a user interface to the base station by which the operator can define the radio spectrum boundaries that the base station is authorized to operate within and to further set operational rules for the use of sub-sections of that defined spectral boundary.

  • Publication number: 20060199542
    Abstract: A method of transmitting and receiving a narrow band integer cycle or impulse modulated signal for spectrum sharing comprising modulating a carrier with a first digital data stream using an integer cycle or impulse modulator then selecting a portion of the sideband of this RF modulated signal for transmission. Next modulating the carrier with a second digital data stream using an integer cycle or impulse modulator and selecting a different portion of the sideband of this second RF modulated signal for transmission. Finally combining and filtering the first and second RF modulated signals to remove all of the first and second RF modulated signals except the selected sideband portions and the carrier which creates a low power signal when transmitted. The transmitted signal is then demodulated through use of a wavelet pass filter which nulls all received RF signals except the low power RF signal when there is digital data present thus allowing for reconstruction of the first and second digital data streams.

  • Patent number: 7023932
    Abstract: The invention disclosed in this application discloses a method for modulating and demodulating compressed binary information that was derived from a binary information stream composed of a binary data sequence of first and second binary states that was modulated onto a carrier which has a waveform with a continuous sequence of wavelets with similar amplitudes defined by a 360 degree cycle between crossover positions representing a substantially zero energy level in which the carrier has been modulated in accordance with said binary data sequence by grouping said wavelets into wavelet groups containing two or more wavelets, receiving said information stream as a binary data sequence of first and second binary states; grouping said binary data sequence of first and second binary states into binary groups of two or more first and second binary states; correlating one of each said wavelets in said wavelet group with one of each possible binary values of each said binary groups, modulating said carrier in accordan

  • Publication number: 20060045204
    Abstract: An improved compression method with coordinated padding for various methods of modulation by which the spectral channel width occupied by the radio signal and the power spectrum density of said signal can be controlled by numerically adjusting the coding format in a coordinated manner allowing for coordinated modulation events which permits multiple transmissions in a coverage area greatly increasing the amount of information transmitted and available users.

  • Patent number: 7003047
    Abstract: The invention disclosed in this application uses a method of modulation named Tri-State Integer Cycle Modulation (TICM) wherein a carrier signal, comprised of a continuum of sine waves is modulated such that spectrum utilization is minimal. A modulation event is imposed upon the carrier signal by modifying the carrier frequency at precisely the zero crossing point or the zero degree angle. The method of imposing the modulation event is by increasing the frequency of the carrier for one or an integer number of wavelets then lowering the frequency of the carrier for one or the same integer number of wavelets then returning to the carrier frequency to derive the modulation event. The main carrier frequency is only modulated beginning at the zero degree phase angle and ending at the 360-degree phase angle.

  • Publication number: 20060009170
    Abstract: A bandwidth control of sideband energy and compression method applied to the integer cycle methods of modulation, is now disclosed called X padding. Radio Frequency (RF) sine waves are grouped into frames of N cycles (divide-by ratio) where N is a variable power of 2 (i.e. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc). This system is flexible wherein N can equal any one of these values. In the frame of N cycles, two alternate cycles are changed to the modulating frequencies. The other cycles remain precisely at the carrier frequency. The position of the alternate modulated cycles in a frame of N-cycles determines the exact binary bits that are being transmitted. This means that by sending only one modulation event where N=16, four (4) bits are transferred. For example, in a frame of 16 cycles (i.e. N=16) where the positions of the alternate modulated cycle is 6, then the four binary bits of information transmitted are 0110.

  • Publication number: 20050276353
    Abstract: A system and method to transport high bit-rate data over wired or wireless means using specially modulated radio frequency carrier waves using an integer cycle or impulse modulation detection method where the signal to be demodulated is generally split, delayed, inverted and summed. When such integer cycle or impulse modulation modulated signals are passed through the system, the delayed signal is not the inverse of the non-delayed signal when there is data present. The resultant summed signal does not cancel completely, thus, resulting in a demodulated signal that is present only as long as the data is present in the integer or impulse modulated signal. This nulling effect also results in reducing the interference from other signals thereby improving the signal to noise ratio of the system. Thus the system not only reduces the interference from other channels, but it is a very fast demodulator that has the capability of demodulating the signal on an integer cycle basis.

  • Patent number: 6901246
    Abstract: A sinusoidal RF carrier is modulated for the transmission of digital binary data streams through the amplitude suppression of carrier wavelets. These wavelets are defined between zero crossover positions representing zero energy locations. This modulation is accomplished when the carrier is slightly amplitude modulated with a modulation signal that is equal in frequency to the carrier itself and the modulation always begins or ends upon the exact zero voltage crossing point of the RF cycle phase. The modulation is applied as a slight shift of the amplitude of any single cycle, each cycle representing a single bit of data. A single cycle of RF will either represent a “1” or “0” depending upon the amplitude of the cycle, relative to other adjacent cycles in the same carrier.

  • Publication number: 20040196910
    Abstract: The invention disclosed in this application uses a method of modulation named Integer Cycle Frequency Hopping (ICFH) wherein a carrier signal, comprised of a continuum of sine waves is generated on a single frequency. A data bit representing either a “1” or a “0”, depending upon the logic polarity chosen by the builder is imposed upon the carrier signal by modifying the carrier signal at precisely the zero crossing point or the zero degree angle. The method of imposing the data is to cause either a lengthening or shortening of the proceeding 360 degrees of phase angle, thus effectively either raising or lowering the frequency of the carrier signal for just the one, or a succession of cycles at hand. Upon completion of the 360-degree cycle(s), the carrier will return to the original frequency. The main carrier frequency is only modulated beginning at the zero degree phase angle and ending at the 360-degree phase angle.

  • Patent number: 6275196
    Abstract: A parabolic horn antenna designed for use as a high isolation antenna array in a wireless Internet access system where a high concentration of transceivers at one location is required. The rear, reflecting surface of the horn part of the antenna is a parabolic shape with the probe located at the focal point of the parabola. The sides of the antenna in the broad dimension are angled at an optimum degree increasing the opening aperture allowing the system to capture more RF energy. The length, therefore the aperture width is variable providing control over the gain of the system thus providing effective shielding and isolation for more dense antenna arrays.
