20130063306 | Compact Multi-Element Antenna With Phase Shift - A phased array antenna system includes a first radiation element that is made of a material and has a length selected to resonate at a desired frequency. A phase-shift element is coupled to one end of the first radiation element. A second radiation element is coupled to the end of the phase-shift element opposite the first radiation element, so that a radio signal passes through the first radiation element through the phase-shift element and through the second radiation element, the second radiation element is made of a material and has a length selected to resonate such that the first and second radiation elements cooperate to form a desired beam pattern from the antenna system. | 03-14-2013 |
20110235755 | MIMO RADIO SYSTEM WITH ANTENNA SIGNAL COMBINER - Systems and methods for a MIMO radio with antenna signal combiners are presented. In one embodiment, a (MIMO) radio system for use in a multi-path environment is described. The system includes a plurality of antenna subsystems, each subsystem comprising two or more antennas and a combiner configured to combine signals received via the two or more antennas in a ratio. The system further includes a radio for each of the plurality of antenna subsystems configured to demodulate the combined signal and a MIMO processor configured to produce a single data stream from the demodulated signals. | 09-29-2011 |
20110117855 | OPTIMIZED DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA SYSTEM - A method of operating a wireless access point having a configurable antenna system includes determining a transmission signal quality metric for a first station with the configurable antenna system in a first configuration, determining a transmission signal quality metric for a second station with the configurable antenna system in the first configuration, determining a transmission signal quality metric for a first station with the configurable antenna system in a second configuration, determining a transmission signal quality metric for a second station with the configurable antenna system in the second configuration, determining a viable set of antenna configurations for which the signal quality metric of each of the stations meets a minimum criteria and configuring the configurable antenna system to a configuration in the viable set when the wireless access point is not transmitting. | 05-19-2011 |
20110096757 | Method for radio communication in a wireless local area network and transceiving device - Method for radio communication in a wireless local area network and transceiving device refers to wireless local area networks (WLAN) consisting of a multitude of transceiving devices of users ( | 04-28-2011 |
20110096756 | METHOD FOR RADIO COMMUNICATION IN A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK AND TRANSCEIVING DEVICE - The invention refers to wireless local area networks (WLAN) consisting of a multitude of transceivers capable of establishing communication with one another (i.e. operating in a peer-to-peer mode) under the control of network coordinator (the so-called “ad hoc” networks). Implies the assignment of the role of the temporary coordinator to a transceiver from among the plurality of transceivers, switching-over other transceivers into the mode of a network client, orientation of antenna beam of a transceiver (switched-over into the client mode) equipped with a direction-agile antenna in the direction of the temporary coordinator of the network and transmission of information to an addressee by a client-transceiver of this network that has got the permission to transmit from the temporary coordinator. A WLAN comprises a multitude of transceivers, one of which serves as a temporary coordinator for said network and at least two of which have a direction-agile antenna and means for the operation of said antenna in the omnidirectional mode, in the directional scanning mode or in the stationary directional mode, an identification means responsive to transmission of a signal, including the transmission of a synchronization signal or identification signal intended for orienting said antenna in the direction of said signal being transmitted. The invention improves the quality and reliability of communication for WLAN users (including mobile users) thus increasing the data transfer rate. | 04-28-2011 |
20090267861 | Antenna Device With A Controlled Directional Pattern And A Planar Directional Antenna - The invention relates to antenna systems used in local wireless communications networks. The antenna system includes planar directional antennas ( | 10-29-2009 |
20090175221 | MULTIMEDIA WIRELESS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An access point for wireless transmission of packets to user devices includes an application module and a radio module. If the radio module fails to successfully transmit a packet to a user device, the application module takes the packet from its queue and places it in the radio buffer for retransmission. This greatly increases the speed of retransmission. The application module can obtain information on the success of transmitting the packet directly from the radio module. | 07-09-2009 |
