    Abstract: An apparatus including a circuit, a temperature sensor, a sensor and a control system. The circuit may be configured to receive an input signal and a configuration signal and generate an output signal in response to performing an upconversion of the input signal to a selected frequency band and an amplification of the input signal in response to the configuration signal. The temperature sensor may be configured to measure a temperature. The sensor may be configured to measure a sensor value. The control system may be configured to generate the configuration signal in response to the temperature and the sensor value. The configuration signal may be generated to maintain a gain of the amplification at a target level over a range of an operating condition during the upconversion. The target level of the gain for the operating condition may be determined in response to a pre-determined calculation.

  • Publication number: 20230291465
    Abstract: Techniques for determining the position of a transmitter using two or more antenna arrays are described. According to some techniques, first and second antenna arrays create respective sets of receive beams, and at least some of the receive beams of each array detect symbols of a preamble symbol sequence. The respective sets of receive beams that detected the symbols are sorted by path length, and a shortest path length from the transmitter to the respective arrays is determined. An intersection point of the shortest paths is used to determine the position of the transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20230291466
    Abstract: A geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) ground station may concurrently receive at a tracking receiver both a first signal (downlink data) at a first frequency from a GEO satellite and an internally-generated calibration signal at a second frequency. Based on the calibration signal, the tracking receiver may determine a first phase value for the second frequency, then, from the first phase value, determine a second phase value associated with the first frequency based on a first phase offset between the first frequency and the second frequency according to a set of receiver calibration factors, then generate a phase correction value for signals received at the first frequency without interrupting the downlink data coming from the GEO satellite. Having accurate phasing allows the tracking receiver to report tracking errors correctly to the antenna controller and therefore allow for improved tracking performance.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for wireless communications performed at a network entity. For example, the systems and techniques can include obtaining, at the network entity, a target relative time difference (RTD). A transmission timing pre-compensation can be determined at the network entity between a first reference signal and a second reference signal, wherein the transmission timing pre-compensation is determined based on the target RTD and one or more network delay components. The first reference signal and the second reference signal can be transmitted using the transmission timing pre-compensation to offset the first reference signal from the second reference signal by the target RTD.

    Abstract: A method may include directing transmission of a first optical noise signal along a frequency channel of an optical network at a first power level. The first optical noise signal may include a notch at a frequency in the frequency channel. The method may also include while transmission of the first optical noise signal occurs along the frequency channel, obtaining a measurement of a first noise level at the frequency and obtaining a measurement of a second noise level at the frequency. The frequency channel may include a second power level when the measurement of the second noise level is obtained and the second power level may be different than the first power level. The method may further include estimating a noise level of an optical data signal transmitted along the frequency channel based on the first noise level and the second noise level.

  • Publication number: 20230291475
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a receiver training method. To configure a static gain for at least one static gain amplifier and a target amplitude for a dynamic gain amplifier, a dynamic gain adjustment is disabled and the dynamic gain amplifier is configured to apply a predetermined fixed gain to the static gain amplified signal to generate a test signal. Furthermore, an effective static gain magnitude for at least one static gain amplifier and an effective amplitude for the test signal are determined based on a link performance metric. The static gain is set to the effective static gain magnitude, and a target amplitude for the dynamic gain amplifier is set to the effective amplitude. Then, the dynamic gain adjustment may be enabled to maintain an amplitude of a dynamic gain amplified signal at an output of the dynamic gain amplifier at the target amplitude by varying the dynamic gain.
