  • Modular interconnect matrix for matrix connection of a plurality of antennas with a plurality of radio channel units
    Patent number: 5752200
    Abstract: A modular interconnect matrix (200) interconnects a plurality (M) of radio channel units (203) with a plurality (N) of antennas (202). Each radio channel unit (203) is connected to a first connector (222) on a corresponding first switching module (217) having a plurality (N) of seconds connectors (225). Each antenna (202) is connected to a first connector (212) of a corresponding antenna interface module (205) having a plurality (X) of second connectors (215). The second connectors (215,225) on the modules (205,217) are arranged for interconnection of at least one second connector (225) on each of the first switching modules (217) with at least one second connector (215) on each of the antenna interface modules (205).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 1997
    Date of Patent: May 12, 1998
    Assignee: Radio Frequency Systems, Inc.
