Patent number: 6904266Abstract: An improved enhancer is disclosed which uses a switch matrix to increase the isolation between two antennas. For either an reverse link or forward link communication, the enhancer has a first antenna for receiving an incoming signal, and a receiver sub-system that amplifies and converts the incoming signal from the first antenna to a first predetermined frequency band. The enhancer further has a demodulator coupled to the receiver sub-system for demodulating the converted signal, and detecting timing information thereof. Also contained in the enhancer is a transmitter sub-system operable with the receiver sub-system that converts the signal from the receiver subsystem to a second predetermined frequency band and further amplifies the signal. After the signal is thus enhanced, a second antenna is used for further transmitting the amplified signal from the transmitted sub-system.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2002Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Navini Networks, Inc.Inventors: Hang Jin, Guanghan Xu, Xinguang Xu

Patent number: 6157340Abstract: A communication system having an adaptive antenna array subsystem generates calibration information for the adaptive array subsystem by measuring the amplitude and phase of modulated signals within the subsystem at the antenna array mount and at the back plane mount for the transmit and receive array. The calibration information is used to more accurately perform beamforming for both received an transmitted information signals. The communication system uses a time diversity duplex (TDD) synchronous code division multiple access (SCDMA) protocol for wireless communication between remote terminals and a base station. The calibration means uses a combination combiner and splitter having matched micro strip lines incorporated into a printed circuit board in either the antenna array mount or the back plane.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1998Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignee: Cwill Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Guanghan Xu, Xinguang Xu, Fuqi Mu, Daniel Wee, Yu Xia
