  • Patent number: 10764764
    Abstract: A distributed antenna system includes a plurality of antenna groups which includes first antennas and second antennas. The first antennas form beams in a first direction along a mobile station track and transmit identical signals at identical frequencies. The second antennas form beams in a second direction opposite to the first direction and transmit identical signals at identical frequencies. The antenna groups are installed on one side of the mobile station track.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 1, 2020
    Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION

The first antenna groups include a plurality of first antennas which forms beams in a first direction along a mobile station track and transmits identical signals at identical frequencies. The second antenna groups include a plurality of second antennas which forms beams in a second direction and transmits identical signals at identical frequencies. The first antennas and the second antennas are installed to face each other across the mobile station track. Each of the first antenna groups uses a frequency different from a frequency used in another first antenna group adjacent thereto, each of the second antenna groups uses a frequency different from a frequency used in another second antenna group adjacent thereto, and two frequencies are used by the first antenna groups and the second antenna groups in total.

  • Patent number: 6823138
    Abstract: An OPC generates a pump light having the wavelength &lgr;s with a power larger than a threshold for generating a nonlinear effect in an optical fiber for a main signal having the wavelengths &lgr;1 through &lgr;4 transmitted from an OS, and wavelength-multiplexes the generated light with the main signal. When the pump light induces a nonlinear effect, a signal light having the wavelengths &lgr;1′ through &lgr;4′ is generated symmetrically to a main signal having the wavelength &lgr;1 through &lgr;4 about the pump light on a wavelength axis. Thus, in a wavelength multiplexing system designed based on an eight-wave transmission, a signal light can function as a compensation light even when only four waves are used at the initialization of the system, thereby compensating for the characteristics of the system operations. Furthermore, the system is effective in cost because it simply requires an OPC for generating a pump light regardless of the number of compensation lights to be generated.
