  • Patent number: 8625441
    Abstract: An instrument is disclosed that is capable of detecting and graphically displaying channel usage and the number of access points operating on each channel of interest. By using a module that counts the number of elapsed clock cycles, the total cumulative duration of detected frames, and the number of channel in-use cycles, the instrument can determine the percentage of time a channel is in use, the percentage of time of IEEE 802.11 usage on a channel, and the percentage of time of non-IEEE 802.11 usage on a channel. Further, channels are scanned for access point activity using a scanning algorithm that interleaves scanning channels at a first duration longer than the beacon interval and scanning channels at a second shorter duration.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050225329
    Abstract: A method of correcting distortions resulting from loss and dispersion in cable fault measurements. A cable is measured in the frequency domain to obtain a reflected response. Fractional sinusoidal components of the reflected response having attenuated amplitude and delayed phase values at points defining the junctures of adjacent equal predetermined lengths are collected and normalized. Then the fractional sinusoidal components of the reflected response are extracted from normalized sum by mathematically calculating the real value at each point, thereby removing all loss and dispersion distortion components.
