Patent number: 11764468Abstract: A phased array antenna includes an antenna array substrate having a plurality of antenna elements. At least two beamformers are coupled to the plurality of antenna elements. At least two filters support different frequency bands and are respectively coupled to the at least two beamformers. A frequency converter is coupled to the at least two filters, the frequency converter including one intermediate frequency (IF) port and at least two radio frequency (RF) ports. The one IF port of the frequency converter is configured to support the at least two beamformers via the at least two RF ports. A first beamformer of the at least two beamformers is coupled to a first filter of the at least two filters to form a first beam in a direction different than a second beamformer of the first two beamformers coupled to a second filter of the at least two filters.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignees: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION, FUJIKURA LTDInventors: Alberto Valdes Garcia, Arun Paidimarri, Bodhisatwa Sadhu, Jean-Olivier Plouchart, Xiaoxiong Gu, Christian Wilhelmus Baks, Yo Yamaguchi, Kiyoshi Kobayashi, Yoshiharu Fujisaku, Ning Guan

Patent number: 8493647Abstract: An optical modulation system has a function to compensate an operating point drift, which occurs in an MZ optical modulator, by carrying out feedback control with use of a low frequency signal. A judgment section judges stability of feedback control. In a case where the feedback control is determined to be unstable, a low frequency signal generating section switches a frequency of the low frequency signal from a first frequency to a second frequency.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2013Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Fujikura Ltd.Inventor: Yoshiharu Fujisaku

Patent number: 6882944Abstract: Threshold setting apparatus controls a relative relation in DC level between a baseband signal produced by processing a received signal and a threshold for use in identifying serial data from the baseband signal. The apparatus includes a waveform distortion estimating circuit and a setting circuit. The waveform distortion estimating circuit estimates, based on the baseband signal, a relation between the center of the dynamic range of the baseband signal and a crossing point where a positive-going edge curve crosses a negative-going edge curve of an eye pattern formed by the baseband signal. The setting circuit adjustably sets either the threshold or the DC level of the baseband signal in dependence upon the relation estimated by the waveform distortion estimating circuit.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2002Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yoshiharu Fujisaku
