Patent number: 11690023Abstract: Methods and systems for mitigating interference between different transceivers in a portable communication device. An electronic control circuit is configured to quantify an electromagnetic isolation between a first transceiver of a portable communication and a second transceiver of the portable communication device based on a detected radio frequency power coupled to the first transceiver from radio frequency signals transmitted by the second transceiver. A mitigation action is selected from a plurality of mitigation actions based on a magnitude of the quantified electromagnetic isolation. The selected mitigation action is then applied to the second transceiver to adjust at least one radio frequency characteristic of the second transceiver.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Dennis A. Byk, Javier Alfaro, Giorgi Bit-Babik, Stephen B. Einbinder

Publication number: 20230199433Abstract: A communication_system, apparatus, and method are provided including a portable public safety (PS) radio that scans a portable non public safety (non-PS) communication device having electronic press credentials stored therein. A server temporarily registers the portable non-PS communication device and electronic press credentials. The server monitors movement of the temporarily registered device for boundary violations within a public safety incident scene, and communicates a warning to the temporarily registered device in response to boundary violations. Electronic press scores are saved and used as a basis to determine access to future registration requests at future incident scenes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: BARBARA R DOUTRE, SEAN REGAN, JAMES D BARRUS, STEPHEN B EINBINDER

Patent number: 5075643Abstract: An improved frequency modulation apparatus (100) is provided comprising a generator (102), a biasing voltage line (116), and an interface circuit (110). The generator (102) is utilized to generate a carrier signal. A control line input (104) on the generator (102) adjusts the frequency of the carrier signal.
