Abstract: A system and method for detecting antenna coupling and for providing feedback cancellation in response to the antenna coupling includes a signal feedback cancellation circuit configured to be coupled between a signal receiver and a signal transmitter. The feedback cancellation circuit is responsive to received signals, amplified signals and the detection of signal coupling between a receiving antenna any transmitting antenna, for providing a feedback cancellation signal to a signal amplifier. The feedback cancellation circuit may employ time domain or frequency domain methods. In the case of a time domain method, the feedback cancellation circuit may further include a White noise generator which serves to the tune or adjust the feedback cancellation circuit.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are provided for identifying at least one multipath transmission delay within a reverse path data signal, determining at least one forward path pre-equalization parameter based on the transmission delay, and modifying a forward path data signal based on the forward path pre-equalization parameter. A reverse link transmission is used to help characterize the multipath delays that may exist between communicating devices. The reverse path data signal can include a training sequence or other like known/substantially-known data that can be analyzed to detect transmission delays, especially delays that extend beyond established guard intervals. Such pre-equalization techniques can be advantageously combined, for example, with antenna arrangements that support transmission diversity, spatial division transmission, and/or other like techniques.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are provided for use in a wireless routing network. One apparatus, for example, includes an adaptive antenna that is configurable to receive a transmission signal from a transmitter and in response transmit corresponding outgoing multi-beam electromagnetic signals exhibiting a plurality of selectively placed transmission peaks and transmission nulls within a far field region of a coverage area. The adaptive antenna may also be configured to selectively receive at least one incoming electromagnetic signal directed through the coverage area. The adaptive antenna includes at least one antenna array and logic. The antenna array has a plurality of antenna elements. The logic is operatively coupled to the antenna array and configured to selectively control the placement of the transmission peaks and transmission nulls within the outgoing multi-beam electromagnetic signals.

Abstract: A high frequency programmable frequency divider operates in a digital manner to divide the frequency of an applied signal by an integer value greater than five. The frequency divider combines emitter coupled logic (ECL) devices to perform a frequency divide algorithm at frequencies of 220 MHz.
