  • Publication number: 20120108186
    Abstract: A transmitter for transmitting data in a cellular radio system is provided. The transmitter transmits data to User Equipment(s) using multiple transmitting antennas, using at least two polarization formers generating orthogonal polarizations of an input data stream. The transmitter further comprises a transmitter diversity arrangement adapted to receive input data to be transmitted to the User Equipment(s), where the transmitter diversity arrangement is connected to the input terminals of the polarization formers. By combining transmitter diversity with polarization former weights, orthogonality between multiple, in particular 4, transmitting antennas can be obtained.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to anode (1) in a wireless communication system, the node (1) comprising at least a first, a second and a third antenna function (2, 2?; 3, 3?; 4, 4?). A first and second downlink signal (Tx1, Tx2), and a first and second uplink signal (Rx1, Rx2) are transferred via said antenna functions (2, 3, 4; 2?, 3?, 4?), which together form a first total antenna function (A1, A1?) and a second total antenna function (A2, A2?). The first and second downlink signals (Tx1, Tx2) are transferred via the first total antenna function (A1, A1?), and the first and second uplink signal (Rx1, Rx2) are transferred via the second total antenna function (A2, A2?). The second downlink signal (Tx2) and the second uplink signal (Rx2) are transferred via a common connection (5, 5?) connected to a filter means (6, 6?) which is arranged for separating these signals (Tx2, Rx2) to connect them to different antenna functions. The present invention also relates to a corresponding method.

  • Patent number: 8068878
    Abstract: A system, method, and base station antenna for improved coverage in a cellular mobile telephony network. Each cell in the network has an area defined by azimuth and range limits. In the system, a first cell and a second cell are essentially adjacent to each other in azimuth. A third cell has an azimuth limit that is essentially equal to the total azimuths of the first and second cells, and has a range coverage that is shorter than the ranges of the first or second cells. The base station antenna forms separate “conventional” beams for the first and second cells, and forms a “near cell” beam for the third cell.

  • Publication number: 20110196324
    Abstract: A percutaneous implant serves for implantation into an animal or a human body. The implant is of the kind that has an axial interior section for fixation inside the body, an axial exterior section in communication with the interior section and extending outwards from the body with a free end. The free end of the exterior section serves for mounting of a detachable device. A distal end of the interior section opposite the exterior section is provided with an anchoring section, extending radially from the distal end of the interior section. The anchoring section includes an inner anchoring ring extending from or integral with the interior section, an outer anchoring ring, and at least one connection member configured and dimensioned for resiliently connecting the inner anchoring ring with the outer anchoring ring in a manner to provide axial resilience and anchorage to the anchoring section.

  • Patent number: 7935096
    Abstract: A percutaneous implant serves for implantation into an animal or a human body. The implant is of the kind that has an anchoring section, extending radially from a distal end of an interior section. The anchoring section comprises an inner anchoring ring extending from or integral with the interior section, an outer anchoring ring, and at least one connection member for connecting the inner anchoring ring with the outer anchoring ring. Since a first connection point between a first end of the at least one connection member and the inner anchoring ring is angularly offset from a second connection point between a second end of the connection member and the outer anchoring ring, the anchoring section constitutes a resilient spring means, which adapts to the movements of the body. The implant is especially designed for use without externalization of the vessel to be brought into communication with the exterior.

  • Publication number: 20110095961
    Abstract: The invention provides an antenna arrangement for a wireless communication system arranged to have at least one transmit mode and at least one receive mode, the arrangement comprising at least three directional antennas (601, 602, 603) in an antenna configuration. Each directional antenna is arranged to have an azimuthal radiation pattern shaped as a beam, each beam covering an angular sector, such that a combined radiation pattern of all beams in a first transmit mode is arranged to provide a full 360° omnidirectional coverage. By combining localization and polarization (P1, P2) of the directional antennas an omnidirectional radiation pattern substantially without null-depths in the azimuthal plane can be created when the radiation pattern of the directional antennas are combined. The invention also provides a corresponding method and a base station for communication with mobile terminals in a telecommunications network equipped with the antenna arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20100328184
    Abstract: An antenna arrangement comprising an input/output connection and a first and a second tuning network with different transfer functions. The arrangement additionally comprises an antenna and a switch for connecting the input/output connection of the arrangement to one of said tuning networks, with a second switch for connecting the antenna of the arrangement to the tuning network to which the input/output connection of the arrangement has been connected. The arrangement comprises a sensor for sensing a form factor of the arrangement or of an apparatus in which the arrangement is used, and said sensor can be used for influencing said first and second switches, so that a device which has been connected to the arrangement may be connected to the antenna via a tuning network optimal for the current form factor of the arrangement.
