Abstract: A method of timeslot-wise detection of at least one radio signal in a cellular radio network. A radio signal is received via at least one first radio antenna and at least one second radio antenna. The radio signal received by the respective radio antennas is forwarded to at least one first radio receiver assigned to the first radio antenna and to at least one second radio receiver assigned to the second radio antenna. The radio signal forwarded is evaluated. The radio receivers are synchronized with a preconfigured frame structure. At least one identical time slot is selected out of the frame structure Timing information of the selected time slot is provided from the first radio receiver to the second radio receiver, from the second radio receiver to the first radio receiver and/or from the respective radio receiver to a central unit for calculating a time difference of arrival. Further, a device for timeslot-wise detection is described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable directional antenna which is equipped with a camera which is integrated into the housing of the directional antenna. In addition to the conventional documentation of the position-finding information, this integrated, installed camera makes it possible, by means of the directional antenna function, to also optically document the surroundings of the interference source with a variable level of detail, for example by way long-range or short-range capture. By way of the optical additional information thus obtained, the present invention provides a simple, but nonetheless very effective, enhanced documentation option for interference sources and the surroundings thereof. Thus, during the search for radio-frequency interferences, no separate camera for capturing image information has to be brought along, and this increases the comfort for a user.

Abstract: A device for expanding the dynamic range of a broadband analog/digital converter is provided. The device comprises a splitter module configured to split an analog input signal into a first analog signal output on a first signal branch, and a second analog signal output on a second signal branch. The device further comprises a first analog/digital converter configured to digitize the first analog signal into a first digital signal, a second analog/digital converter configured to digitize the second analog signal into a second digital signal, and a first switching module configured to switch one of the first signal branch and the second signal branch to an output of the apparatus. The device further comprises a first regulating module, disposed between the second analog/digital converter and the first switching module, wherein the first regulating module is configured to adaptively match amplitudes of the second digital signal to amplitudes of the first digital signal.
