  • Patent number: 7092685
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for tuning a radio filter. The radio filter comprises at least one resonator module, each of said at least one resonator module having a tuning mechanism, a filter input connection, a filter output connection. High frequency broad band input and output signals of each of said at least one resonator module are sensed and processed to tune the radio filter. The processing of the sensed input and output signals includes processing in a low-frequency range.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20010030585
    Abstract: A method for characterizing a frequency response of a tunable filter (11) includes the steps of adjusting a tuning means (12) to a first predetermined position; measuring the resonance frequency of the filter (10); temporary storing the measured resonance frequency and the position; and repeating these steps for a number of different predetermined positions of the tuning means. A mathematical function representing tuning means position as a function of resonance frequency is then determined, whereby several advantages are achieved. Little memory is required and the function provides for rapid and accurate tuning of the filter.

  • Patent number: 6246727
    Abstract: A method and a system for tuning a resonance module in e.g. a radio base station are disclosed. The resonance module has tuning means, a transmitter connection, and an antenna connection. First frequency input and output signals on the transmitter and antenna connection, respectively, are sensed and processed to tune the resonance module to a frequency of the input signal on the transmitter connection. The processing of the sensed input and output signals includes processing in a second frequency range. Prior art methods are improved by the invention through e.g. the use of a quadrature modulator to increase adjustment speed and overall applicability of the resonance module to be tuned.
