  • Patent number: 9169018
    Abstract: An aircraft radio system comprising a plurality of radios interconnected by a digital communications network, each radio having a transceiver and a dedicated processor platform, the aircraft radio system being configured to cause the dedicated processor platforms to constitute a virtual processing environment for the aircraft radio system. There is also an aircraft radio system comprising a plurality of discrete radios interconnected by a digital communications network, each radio having a transceiver, a dedicated processor platform and a server configured to support communications over the network using PPPoE, Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet, to provide a common digital interface between an aircraft domain and the radios for plural types of communication.

  • Patent number: 7902810
    Abstract: A cable detection system, includes a source of an input electrical AC signal for coupling to a first lead pin of a cable connector. A detector is coupled to a different second lead pin of the cable connector. The detector detects an electrical AC output signal derived by capacitive coupling of the input electrical AC signal occurring within a cable incorporating first and second leads corresponding to the first and second lead pins. The detector further enables a determination of whether the cable is connected to the cable connector in response to an amplitude dependent characteristic of the detected AC output signal.

  • Patent number: 4580262
    Abstract: A radio system employs a method of controlling the transmitted power of a radio signal such that a minimum power level for efficient reception is maintained. Data is simultaneously transmitted between two radio stations using an error correction code. Each block of the code is accompanied by a power bit. The transmitted power bit is set high or low in dependence upon whether the number of errors in a sample of received blocks, as determined by processing of the received code, is equal to, above or below a predetermined threshold value. At the other station the received power bit is directed to a power control device and used to adjust the output power of the transmitter of that station by continuously variable slope delta demodulation.

  • Patent number: 4546470
    Abstract: A device for use in an intermediate station of a radio-relay communications system comprises a package consisting of a trunk switch, a multiplexer, and a demultiplexer. The switch (48) has three TDM inputs, one of which is connected to the output of the multiplexer, and three TDM outputs one of which is connected to the input of the demultiplexer. The switch is non-blocking and is adapted to switch any input TDM channel to any selected output TDM channel, to enable, for example, a signal received in an incoming channel from an adjacent radio station to be selectively retransmitted to radio station or directed to one of the user terminals at the radio station.
