  • Dynamically reconfigurable wireless networks (DRWiN) and methods for operating such networks
    Publication number: 20050164664
    Abstract: A mesh type wireless communication network includes a plurality of nodes, each node having at least one dynamically directionally controllable communications link, and a network controller for dynamically changing the direction of the controllable communications links of the nodes to enable transmission of signals between the nodes. A hub type wireless communication network includes a hub node having at least one dynamically directionally controllable communications link, a plurality of remote nodes, and a network controller for dynamically controlling the direction of the communications link to enable transmission of signals between the hub node and the remote nodes.

  • Electronically tunable combline filters tuned by tunable dielectric capacitors
    Publication number: 20050116796
    Abstract: A voltage-controlled tunable filter includes at least two cavity resonators electrically coupled to each other. A voltage tunable dielectric capacitor is positioned within each of the resonators. Connections are provided for applying a control voltage to the voltage tunable dielectric capacitors. An input is coupled to the one of the resonators, and an output is coupled to the other resonator.
