  • Publication number: 20230393353
    Abstract: An optoelectronic device is used with an optical fiber for data transmission and has a transmitter mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) to emit light. A collimation lens on a lens block receives the light incident thereto. A microstructure on a reflective surface of the lens block has sections that reflect the light into attenuated portions. A focusing lens on the lens block focuses a first attenuated portion from first sections of the reflective surface to the optical fiber. Meanwhile, second sections of the reflective surface reflect a second attenuated portion to another reflective surface on the lens block. The second attenuated portion passes out of a refractive surface on the lens block to an receiver, which is mounted on the PCB adjacent the transmitter. The second attenuated portion of the light can be used to monitor the optical output of the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 10148400
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide reference signal transmitting and receiving methods and devices in an active antenna system. Port virtualization to a transmit antennas may be implemented for multiple cell-specific reference signal (CRS) antenna ports and applying different vertical beamforming vectors to implement port virtualization for the different CRS antenna ports. The User Equipment (UE) reports the maximum RSRP/RSRQ value measured based on multiple CRS ports, or the UE simultaneously reports multiple RSRP/RSRQ values and the information of the multiple CRS antenna ports. Therefore, the coverage problem of the CRS signal and Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)/Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)/Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) demodulated based on CRS and the problem of measurement for Radio Resource Management (RRM) in the active antenna system may be avoided. Specifically, the following problems may be solved.
