Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for driving a pile element into the ground. A head region of the pile element is arranged in a driving helmet on an underside of a driven hammer unit, which is moved along a mast and drives the pile element into the ground. The pile element is hoisted by means of an auxiliary winch with auxiliary rope from a lying position into the approximately vertical driving position, in which the head region of the pile element is received in the driving helmet of the hammer unit. In accordance with the invention during hoisting of the pile element to be driven in, the main winch and the auxiliary winch are controlled automatically in a simultaneous manner so that during hoisting the head region of the pile element rests with a predeterminable pressing force against the driving helmet.

Abstract: A receiver and a method are applied in a wireless communication system for detecting interference with a coexisting radar system. A signal received from an antenna is fed through an analog part and a subsequent digital part of said receiver. The receiver has an element with a-priori known attenuation values for a predefined set of frequencies, a first branch-off element for deriving a first detection signal from the signal before the element and a second branch-off element for deriving a second detection signal from the signal after the element. The receiver processes the first and the second detection signal such that a difference between the first and second detection signal is comparable with a threshold value, where the threshold value depends on the a-priori known attenuation values of the element. Depending on the comparison result, a frequency is identified as interfering or not a co-existing radar system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for regulating the output power of an amplifier stage, e.g. an amplifier stage in a mobile data transmission system.
