  • Patent number: 10114125
    Abstract: The receiver for a satellite positioning system includes at least one receive channel with an input stage configured to receive a satellite signals having different constellation frequencies belonging to one frequency band or to different frequency bands. The receive channel further includes a frequency transposition stage connected to the input stage (EE) and including a controllable local oscillator device configured to deliver different frequency transposition signals respectively adapted to the different constellation frequencies. A processing stage of the receive channel is connected to the frequency transposition stage and includes a control circuit configured to control the local oscillator device to sequentially and cyclically deliver the different frequency transposition signals.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9008713
    Abstract: Method of cutting off a transmission signal of a main transmitter relayed by a cell of a base station and associated system. According to this method, the transmission signal is cut off:—if the power of the transmission signal emitted by the main transmitter is greater than the power of each transmission signal of other transmitters relayed by the same cell of the base station, and—if the power of the transmission signal of the main transmitter does not decrease after several identical successive transmitted-power regulating commands (TPC) emitted by the base station.
