Abstract: Previous MIMO systems have used spatially diverse antenna elements in order not to reduce the number of orthogonal channels that can be realized. The present invention recognizes that this leads to large antenna sizes, as compared to multiple beam antenna systems which use closely spaced antenna elements. In order to provide a compact antenna unit, while still allowing a MIMO system to be exploited, the present invention recognizes that polarization diversity only can be used in a MIMO system without the need for spatially diverse antenna elements. Closely spaced antenna elements are used and this enables a compact MIMO antenna unit to be provided. In addition, such MIMO systems with polarization diversity but no spatial diversity can advantageously be used in line of sight situations and also combined with multi-beam antenna systems to further increase capacity.

Abstract: In order to monitor motion, such as rotation of a shaft (10), the rotary movement of the shaft (10) is sampled and the position information is passed to a up/down counter which produces counter values which are stored in a cyclic buffer (16). A programmable logic controller (14) then reads the values in that cyclic buffer (16) and controls the rotation of the shaft (10) accordingly. The use of the cyclic buffer (16) separates sampling and storage of the motion data, and this avoids the problems that occur when the motion data is stored by the programmable logic controller itself. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An embodiment includes a polarization beam splitter and a feedback unit, preferably having an autocorrelator, a processing unit and a polarization controller. Polarized splitter separates the lower-speed tributary signals out of the higher-speed optical signal based upon a polarization relationship (e.g., orthogonal) between the tributary signals. The feedback unit, typically an autocorrelator and a polarization adjustment device, adjusts the higher-speed signal's state of polarization based upon an autocorrelation value of one of the lower-speed tributary signals. The autocorrelation value of one of the lower-speed tributary signals is provided to the polarization adjustment device, which typically includes a processing unit and a polarization controller. The polarization adjustment device adjusts the higher-speed signal's polarization state based upon the autocorrelation extinction ratio value. Ideally, this type of adjustment feedback is performed until the autocorrelation value is maximized for optimal demultiplexing. This type of adjustment is normally performed as part of a feedback loop to track changes in the higher-speed signal's state of polarization.
