Backplane For Radio Frequency Signals

View page
US Patent:
6392160, May 21, 2002
Filed:
Nov 25, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/200092
Inventors:
Steven C. Andry - Brooklyn NY
Peter Giannoglou - Montclair NJ
John S. Rucki - New Providence NJ
Christopher F. Zappala - Whitehouse Station NJ
Philip J. Hubbauer - West Caldwell NJ
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H01R 1204
US Classification:
174261, 439 63
Abstract:
A multi-layer backplane for processing radio frequency (RF) and other signals has alternating layers of conductive traces for RF signals and other types of signals, and ground plane layers of conductive material electrically insulated from each other. The backplane upper layer has a plurality of coaxial connectors for connection of cables and other devices which supply RF energy signals to and convey them from the backplane, with each connector having a center pin extending into the backplane to make electrical contact with a trace of a selected trace layer. A ground plane cap layer of electrically conductive material is provided below the last ground plane layer associated with a trace layer and beneath the coaxial connector center pins for preventing leakage of radio frequency energy between the center pins. A row of conductive vias can be provided along one or more sides of a trace carrying RF energy. These vias are connected to electrical ground references above and below the layer of the trace to electrically isolate the trace from radiating the RF energy.

Frequency Offset Correction In Transmitters Having Non-Ideal Synthesizer Channel Spacing

View page
US Patent:
7272365, Sep 18, 2007
Filed:
Dec 18, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/739549
Inventors:
Dennis Cleary - Morris Plains NJ, US
Carmine Pagano - Blairstown NJ, US
Hayim Vitali Penso - Bronx NY, US
John Rucki - New Providence NJ, US
Assignee:
Andrew Corporation - Westchester IL
International Classification:
H04B 1/02
H04B 1/66
US Classification:
455102, 455118, 455 91
Abstract:
In a receiver of a transmission system in which the data transmission rate is not an integer multiple of the spacing between transmission channels, a single oscillator is used to generate both the system clock used to process the data signal as well as the mixing signal used to downconvert the received RF signal to an intermediate frequency (IF). The frequency error in the IF signal that results from mixing the RF signal at a less-than-ideal mixing frequency is compensated by selecting an appropriate mixing signal frequency applied when downconverting the IF signal to baseband. In a transmitter, the mixing signal frequency used to upconvert the outgoing baseband signal to IF is selected to pre-compensate for the frequency error resulting from upconverting the IF signal to RF using a less-than-ideal mixing frequency. In either case, the receiver/transmitter can be implemented without having to provide a dedicated reference oscillator for converting signals between RF and IF.

Linearization Of Amplifiers Using Baseband Detection And Non-Baseband Pre-Distortion

View page
US Patent:
7321635, Jan 22, 2008
Filed:
Aug 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/637777
Inventors:
Josef Ocenasek - Whippany NJ, US
John S. Rucki - New Providence NJ, US
Assignee:
Andrew Corporation - Westchester IL
International Classification:
H04K 1/02
US Classification:
375297, 375296, 375141, 375130, 330149, 330151, 330136, 4551143, 455 631, 455126
Abstract:
In an amplifier system that linearizes an amplifier by pre-distorting the input signal prior to amplification, a baseband pre-distortion processor processes the input signal in a digital baseband domain to generate one or more pre-distortion parameters based on the power of the digital baseband input signal. The digital baseband signal is up-converted and D/A-converted into a non-baseband (e. g. , IF or RF) signal which is then pre-distorted, e. g. , using a phase/gain adjuster or a vector modulator. By generating the pre-distortion parameters at baseband, while pre-distorting the input signal at non-baseband, the amplifier system avoids the cost and inaccuracies associated with analog signal delay and RF power detection of prior-art “all-RF” pre-distortion implementations, while avoiding the wider-bandwidth filtering of prior-art “all-baseband” pre-distortion implementations.

Apparatus And Method For Controlling The Output Power Of A Transmitter Using A Pilot Channel Power Level

View page
US Patent:
20070280377, Dec 6, 2007
Filed:
Jun 2, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/421950
Inventors:
John S. Rucki - New Providence NJ, US
International Classification:
H04L 25/03
US Classification:
375296
Abstract:
A circuit for controlling the output power of a transmitter including a power amplifier includes a pilot detection circuit for detecting the power of a pilot channel from an output of the amplifier. The pilot detection circuit provides a pilot power output signal reflective of the pilot channel power.A reference circuit provides a pilot power reference signal, and a comparator circuit compares the pilot power output signal and reference signal and provides a power level correction signal.A level adjustment circuit adjusts the power level of an input to the amplifier and uses the power level correction signal to vary the amplifier input to control the output power level of the amplifier.

Wireless Telecommunications System Architecture Supporting Block Radio Technology

View page
US Patent:
62599100, Jul 10, 2001
Filed:
Feb 13, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/023682
Inventors:
Robert Charles Fairfield - Randolph NJ
Carmine James Pagano - Blairstown NJ
John Stanley Rucki - New Providence NJ
Michael Ralph Simmons - Ft. Lee NJ
Christopher F. Zappala - Whitehouse Station NJ
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H04Q 720
US Classification:
455422
Abstract:
A wireless telecommunications system architecture is disclosed that is capable of supporting a centralized block radio architecture and of distributing the information-bearing signals from the block radio to geographically-dispersed radio heads using relatively low-cost cable (e. g. , twisted-pair, etc. ). In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a radio multiplexes, modulates, and channel codes one or more information-bearing signals and upconverts them, not to radio frequency, but to an intermediate frequency that can be transmitted over a low-cost cable. Co-located with each radio head is an upconverter that upconverts the intermediate frequency signal to radio frequency in preparation for radiation by an antenna.

Transceiver With Rf Loopback And Downlink Frequency Scanning

View page
US Patent:
6006112, Dec 21, 1999
Filed:
Nov 26, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/979478
Inventors:
John Stanley Rucki - New Providence NJ
Christopher F. Zappala - Whitehouse Station NJ
Jack Wen - Parsippany NJ
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H03C 702
H01S 400
H04B 106
US Classification:
455561
Abstract:
A wireless base station has a transmitter and receiver. Transmission signals are applied to an antenna through a transmit bandpass filter that is tuned for a transmit band of frequencies. Received signals from the antenna are applied to the receiver through a receive bandpass filter that is tuned for a receive band of frequencies. An RF switching array consisting of four RF switches interconnects the output of the transmitter and the input of the receiver such that normal, loopback (self-test), and scanning modes can be performed. In the normal mode, the antenna is connected to the transmitter and receiver through the transmit and receive bandpass filters, respectively. The transmit and signal paths are effectively isolated from each other by three serially-connected open switches. In the loopback mode, the transmitter output is connected to the receiver input. In the scanning mode, the antenna is connected to the receiver through the transmit bandpass filter.

Transformer With Included Current Sensing Element

View page
US Patent:
49997432, Mar 12, 1991
Filed:
Sep 27, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/413570
Inventors:
Edward C. Fontana - Dallas TX
John S. Rucki - Hillside NJ
Assignee:
AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H05K 702
H01F 2730
US Classification:
361400
Abstract:
A current sensing element is included as an integral part of a magnetic component by mounting a toroidal magnetic core having a current sensing winding into a receptacle of a winding bobbin of the magnetic component. This eliminates a need for a separate board mounted current sensing winding thereby saving circuit board space and reducing overall parts count on the circuit board, and circuit assembly costs.
