| 20100067607 | All-optical balanced detection system - A two gate sampling system designed to perform sampled balanced detection of one or more input signal pairs. The present invention performs simultaneous sampling of both signals in each signal pair followed by digitization and combination of the sample pairs using software. By first sampling the signals and then combine the sampled into the corresponding balanced detected signal it is possible to avoid the bandwidth limitations and impedance problems introduced by traditional balanced detectors and electrical oscilloscopes. In particular for optical sampling gates very high bandwidth sampling gates can be designed without any impedance issues and hence almost perfect balanced detection reconstruction can be performed for very high speed signals. Balanced detection is becoming more and more important as the new phase modulated optical data signals are introduced to the market, such as e.g. PSK, DPSK, QPSK and DQPSK. The present invention is well suited for analysis of these new type of signals. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20140010324 | METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR SELECTING CHANNEL UPDATES IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - Pilot logic may determine based upon channel and phase information how to process pilot tones that shift locations every N symbols in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) packet transmission. Pilot logic may determine a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the channel to determine how to process the shifting pilot tones. Pilot logic may also determine channel and phase information updates such as channel state information and phase correction information from pilot tones. In situations of high SNR, logic may use channel estimates and phase rotations that are obtained from locations of the pilot tones for phase tracking and updating the equalizer. In situations of low SNR, logic may use the phase rotations for phase tracking and not update the equalizer during the OFDM transmission. Logic may also determine the presence or absence of a Doppler effect on the transmission and transmit a selection for N to an access point in response. | 01-09-2014 |
| 20140010325 | METHOD TO MINIMIZE INTERFERENCE INTO LEGACY SDARS RECEPTION BY VARYING OVERLAY MODULATION AS A FUNCTION OF SATELLITE POSITION - Degree of hierarchical modulation can be varied as a function of satellite position, where such hierarchical modulation can be a combination of phase and amplitude shifts. As each satellite in a multiple satellite system moves towards a D-node or an A-node position, the offset angle of a phase-based hierarchical modulation scheme can be varied. Starting with the lowest satellite position in the sky an offset angle for overlay bits can progressively increase as the position of the satellite in the sky increases. At a satellite's highest point in the sky, the overlay offset angle can be at its maximum. The value of a varying overlay offset angle (for each satellite) can be embedded in an Overlay Identification Marker (OIM) in the broadcast. The receiver can then appropriately correct MRC weightings (weighting more heavily the (higher lying) satellite). | 01-09-2014 |

A message is generated for transmission to a wireless terminal. The message is partitioned into a number of symbols, each symbol composed of a portion of the message.

The inner coded symbols are modulated based on a binary modulation scheme, and pulse shaped to generate message bursts for transmission to the wireless terminal. Each message burst reflects a group of the inner coded symbols, wherein the grouping of the inner coded symbols facilitates joint sequence detection by the wireless terminal, and each message burst exhibits relatively low peak-to-average power ratio. | 04-03-2014 |
