| 20090316589 | Method of Determining True Error Vector Magnitude in a Wireless Lan - Systematic transmit IQ phase and amplitude imbalances in the transmit chain of a wireless local area network (WLAN) cause a corresponding systematic shift in the roots of a constellation diagram. Additional random phase noise in the transmit chain will cause a further Gaussian distribution of points in the constellation diagram about the systematically shifted roots. This random distribution represents a true error vector magnitude (EVM). By transmitting a known training sequence through the transmit chain, which it is known will be shifted to all of the systematically shifted roots in the constellation diagram, the Gaussian spread around those shifted roots can be analysed to determine the true EVM. | 12-24-2009 |

The focus is on quick tightening/loosening of the lock that is formed between the ligature and the frame, managing the extra ligature length, decorating the system, improving performance and, extending the design to a wearable having structures similar to pants. In some applications a short ligature that passes underneath ligature loops and in others a donut-shaped object is used to solve tightening/loosening problems. Tucking the extra ligature length under an elastic strap or inside a slot formed within the frame manages the ligature. To enhance the performance of the system methods that reduce the friction between the ligature and the frame are discussed. Specifically, the use of back-to-back eyelet system, curved pathways between holes and, frictionless rollers are detailed. The invention discusses the used of a raised crisscross(s) as an additional method to enhance the performance. | 05-28-2009 |
