Patent number: 8897387Abstract: A method and system for configuring one or both of a transmitter pulse-shaping filter and a receiver pulse-shaping filter to generate a total partial response that incorporates a predetermined amount of inter-symbol interference (ISI), based on one or more defined performance-related variables and one or more set constraints that are applicable to one or both of the transmitter pulse-shaping filter and the receiver pulse-shaping filters. The predetermined amount of ISI is determined based on an estimation process during extraction of data from an output of the receiver pulse-shaping filter, such that performance of total partial response based communication matches or surpasses performance of communication incorporating filtering based on no or near-zero ISI. The configuring may comprise determining optimized filtering configuration, by applying an optimization process which is based on, at least in part, the one or more constraints and the one or more performance-related variables.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: MagnaCom Ltd.Inventor: Amir Eliaz

Patent number: 8891708Abstract: Forward and backward filters in cascade establish a specified phase shift in audio or video signals. The backward filter applies its filtering in a backward direction to impart a phase shift to its backward-filtered output that is a function of frequency. The forward filter applies its filtering in a forward direction to impart a phase shift to its forward-filtered output that has the specified phase shift relative the phase shift of the backward filter. Preferably, the two filters are recursive and are applied to signals that represent overlapping segments of the audio or video information. The overlap interval is used for filter initialization.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventor: David McGrath

Patent number: 8891700Abstract: Interference in a wireless network is detected by first applying during a detection stage a two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test to samples obtained from a channel in the wireless network to obtain a KS statistic. When the KS statistic is larger than a predetermine threshold, it is determined that the samples include narrowband interference, and wideband otherwise.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Kyeong-Jin Kim, Philip Orlik, Ghulam M Bhatti

Patent number: 8891662Abstract: Provided is a data transmission apparatus to transmit a reference orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol generated by frequency division multiplexing a reference symbol and a data symbol, and a data reception apparatus to estimate a channel using the reference OFDM symbol. Since the reference symbol and the data symbol are frequency division multiplexed, a Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) may not increase greatly, and the transmission apparatus may transmit the reference OFDM symbol to the data reception apparatus more frequently. Accordingly, the data reception apparatus may estimate a channel accurately.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Byung Jang Jeong, Bangwon Seo, Jae Young Ahn

Patent number: 8885759Abstract: A noise and interference tolerant bit communication system, which requires no conventional modulation/demodulation, with its' associated digital-hardware-implemented mechanisms for bit transmission, bit reception, and channel balancing; are presented, where electrical, photonic, or EM pulses (signals); representing binary information bits; are carried from a transmitter point over an (Nx2)-channel transmission medium, to a receiver point. The binary value of a transmitted pulse is identified at the receiver by means of the actual channel the pulse is travelling through. For example, if at a given time, any pulse transmitted and received through the first channel represents logic one, while any pulse transmitted and received through the second channel represents logic zero; thus reducing pulse's binary state representation per channel from two to one. The proposed system is capable of error-free communication at any signal-to-noise plus interference ratio value greater than zero.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2014Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Inventor: Fahad S H Z Alkhaled

Patent number: 8885693Abstract: An automated process to periodically check and ensure that earth terminal settings provide compliant EIRPSD. For example, one embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus which queries the modem for its transmit symbol rate and the Block Up-Converter (BUC) for its RF output power. Using these two values and preprogrammed values for connection loss between the BUC and antenna, the current input power spectral density being transferred to the antenna is computed by the apparatus and compared to the preprogrammed regulatory limit for the specific antenna. If the limit is being exceeded, the apparatus sets BUC attenuation to compensate for the excess.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: TracStar Systems, Inc.Inventors: Rami Adada, David Craig, Brian Millikan, Kalyan Venkatraman, Aaron Hershberger
