20120171966 | System and Method for Wideband Wireless System Scanning - A system and method for determining the presence of interfering signals in a wireless environment. A programmable RF card is programmed to collect a wideband signal based upon user requested signals of interest. Collected signals are analyzed and the presence of specific interfering signals is determined. The interfering signals are then tracked and reported. | 07-05-2012 |
20100085264 | Low Profile Antenna - A multi-band antenna is provided that operates in at least two non-harmonically related frequency bands. The antenna includes a ground plane, a cone-shaped relatively high frequency antenna element with a tip of the high frequency antenna disposed adjacent to but electrically isolated from the ground plane with a base of the cone-shaped antenna element extending away from the ground plane, and at least three relatively low frequency antenna elements electrically connected to and extending between the base of the cone-shaped antenna element and the ground plane. | 04-08-2010 |
20100033401 | MULTI-BAND CEILING ANTENNA - A multi-band antenna is provided that operates in at least two non-harmonically related frequency bands. The antenna includes a low frequency antenna for a relatively low frequency band of the at least two non-harmonically related frequency bands extending on a proximal end from a ground plane along a predominant axis and electrically isolated from the ground plane and a cone-shaped relatively high frequency antenna for a relatively high frequency band of the at least two non-harmonically related frequency bands disposed on and electrically connected to the proximal end of the low frequency antenna with an apex of the high frequency antenna disposed adjacent the ground plane coincident with the proximal end of the low frequency antenna and a base extending away from the ground plane coaxial with the predominant axis. The multi-band antenna further includes a first tubular sleeve extending from the ground plane coaxial with the predominant axis, said tubular sleeve electrically isolated from the ground plane, the low frequency antenna and high frequency antenna and a second tubular sleeve lying coaxial with the predominant axis extending from a marginal edge of the base of the high frequency antenna away from the ground plane, said second tubular sleeve electrically isolated from the high frequency antenna and low frequency antenna. | 02-11-2010 |
20090256778 | MULTI-BAND ANTENNA - A multi-band antenna is provided that operates in non-harmonically related frequency bands. The antenna includes a primary antenna element for a first frequency band of the non-harmonically related bands, said primary antenna element extending perpendicularly from a ground plane, the primary antenna element electrically isolated from the ground plane, a plurality of secondary elements extending from the ground plane parallel to the primary antenna element and arranged in a circle around the primary antenna element, each of said plurality of secondary elements electrically isolated from the primary antenna element and ground plane and a plurality of antenna elements for a second frequency band of a higher relative frequency than the first frequency band, the plurality of high frequency antenna elements extending parallel to the primary and secondary antenna elements and disposed in a circle around the secondary antenna elements. | 10-15-2009 |
20090215443 | Cellular Drive Test System Network - A method and apparatus is provided for processing wireless signals collected from a plurality of cellular base stations by a plurality of drive test units of a drive test system The method includes the steps of a first process within at least one of the plurality of drive test units processing and storing wireless signal samples in real time to identify and measure signals from the plurality of cellular base stations, the first process forming a target list of signals that could be identified and measured, a second process that processes the signals in near real time and a third process that processes signal offline. The first, second and third processes may share information irrespective of where executed, whether executed on a single drives test unit or multiple drive test units. | 08-27-2009 |
