International Classification:

H01Q 2100

US Classification:

343816, 343795, 343725

Abstract:

An antenna system for use in cellular and other wireless communication includes a dual polarized compact antenna array. In one embodiment, the antenna system includes four T-shaped dipole antenna elements mounted on a ground plane, forming a side of a square shaped array. In another embodiment, the antenna system includes seven T-shaped dipole antenna elements mounted on a ground plane to form two side by side square arrays, wherein the square arrays share a common T-shaped dipole antenna element.

International Classification:

H04Q 720

US Classification:

455456, 455 7, 342453

Abstract:

A RF signal repeater system is added to a wireless communications network which increases user data rates at the periphery of the cellular coverage area by boosting the downlink (base station to mobile user) signal and uplink (mobile user to base station) signal. The RF signal repeater system includes a signal tagging means that adds a unique electronic signature to the repeated signal such that position determination errors due to a non-line of sight propagation path can be corrected. The repeated signal is received and processed with a location measurement unit to determine the time of arrival and to extract the signal tag of the repeated signal. The time of arrival measurement and recovered signal tag are then processed at a mobile location center to determine the true position of the transmitter.

Inventors:

Brian L. Fox - Colorado Springs CO, US
John K. Reece - Colorado Springs CO, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04B007/15

US Classification:

455 111, 455557

Abstract:

A system is disclosed having a remote access unit and two transceiver modes, one for implementing wireless wide area network communications and another for implementing local wireless network communications. High speed data communications with a cellular system may be maintained in the wireless wide area network mode with the advantage of a flexible and unconstrained remote access unit, which can be placed for improved wireless reception. Computers and other devices with complementary wireless personal network communications protocol units may connect to a wireless wide area network through the remote access unit.

International Classification:

H01Q001/42

US Classification:

343/7000MS, 343/789000

Abstract:

An antenna comprising a substrate and a folded radiating element. The folded radiating element and the substrate define a resonant cavity which produces a wide beamwidth, and substantially hemispherical radiation pattern. An antenna constructed in accordance with the present invention can be incorporated into a transceiver system. The radiation pattern produced by the antenna is suitable for use in wireless communication systems operating in the PCS and DCS frequency ranges.
