Abstract:
1. A digital data transceiver system comprising: a controller; a sensor operatively coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to receive an input from the sensor; an electrical component operatively coupled to the sensor, wherein the input represents a thermal load on the electrical component; and a transceiver coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to modify an operating parameter of the transceiver in response to the input from the sensor, wherein the input is based on the thermal load, wherein the controller comprises a predetermined threshold and wherein the predetermined threshold corresponds to an unsafe level of thermal load, wherein modifying the operating parameter occurs when the thermal load exceeds the predetermined threshold, wherein modifying the operating parameter causes the transceiver to operate in a reduced power mode; and wherein any reduced power transmission due to modification of the operating parameter is compensated for using signal fade algorithms comprising a validation system configured to adapt at least one of (i) forward error correction coding and (ii) modulation rates to maintain an acceptable signal to noise ratio despite the reduced power transmission from the transceiver.
