20100172437 | Signal pre-processor for an amplifying system - A signal pre-processor, for at least partially correcting non-linear performance of a high power amplifier (“HPA”), operates on an over-sampled signal in complex form in the digital domain. By converting the over-sampled signal to amplitude values, the pre-processor is enabled to apply correction values, based on the amplitude values, which correction values incorporate both amplitude and phase correction in respect of distortion generated in the HPA. The use of an over-sampled signal allows out-of-band correction values to be applied to correct out-of-band distortion arising in the signal processing path, for instance in the linearization process itself. The out-of-band distortion can otherwise alias back in-band, creating noise at the HPA. | 07-08-2010 |

By removing the frequency channels comprising interference, the signal-to-noise ratio of a carrier can be improved. Also, if the interference occurs within a carrier, the carrier is usable as long as the removed frequency channels are considerably narrower than the carrier. | 09-16-2010 |

20100194629 | SYSTEM FOR SIMPLIFICATION OF RECONFIGURABLE BEAM-FORMING NETWORK PROCESSING WITHIN A PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA FOR A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE - A telecommunications satellite having a phased array antenna, wherein the beam-forming function within the phased array is simplified by partitioning it into two stages, in which the sub-array stage relates to a fixed, or infrequently changed, set of overlapping sub-arrays and the main stage provides the main pattern reconfiguration, typically in the form of multiple reconfigurable spot beams within a defined coverage region. The key advantage lies in the significant reduction in number of second stage beam-forming control points (at which independent amplitude and phase is applied) when compared with a conventional phased array (where amplitude and phase control is applied for each element of the array). The sub-array stage beam-forming may be implemented in analogue technology. The main beam-former may be implemented in digital technology, where the key processing functions of A/D or D/A conversion, frequency (de)multiplexing and digital beam-forming all scale with the number of control points. | 08-05-2010 |
