  • Patent number: 7593689
    Abstract: A method of detecting oscillation in an on-frequency repeater having an RF signal path coupled between an input antenna and an output antenna. In accordance with the present invention, a first RF signal power level within the RF signal path is detected during an un-muted period in which transmission of an output RF signal through the output antenna is enabled. A second RF signal power level within the RF signal path is detected during a mute period in which transmission of an RF signal through the output antenna is disabled. The first and second detected RF signal power levels are then compared, which provides an indication of signal leakage, and thus oscillation.

  • Patent number: 7325820
    Abstract: An independent rear suspension system is provided that has a trailing arm connected between a frame rail and a wheel support knuckle. A lower control arm is connected between a frame cross member and the knuckle. The suspension system also includes an upper link that extends between the frame rail and the knuckle. The toe link and upper link are generally vertically aligned. A stabilizer bar extends between the toe link and upper link and is connected to the lower control arm outboard of the shock and spring to reduce space requirements for the suspension system forward of the wheel support knuckle. The lower control arm is elongated and attached to the frame cross member inboard of the frame rails to improve the ratio of wheel travel to shock travel.
