Abstract: A method and appararatus for accurately determining the operating characteristics or im-pact of nonlinear effects on de-vices or communication systems transferring orthogonally coded spread-spectrum communication signals. A Walsh Power Ratio, is used to more accurately deter-mine system response. This in-formation can be used by power control loops in controlling or adjusting the operation of non--linear elements or stages such as high power amplifiers in orthog-onal CDMA communication sys-tems to provide improved system response. The information can also be employed in assigning channels to systems users, and to proceed with physical changes to system hardware. The mea-surements used to formulate the WPR can be made to individual components or to entire systems by injecting communication sig-nals in multiple channels containing data, and leaving at least one empty channel. The received power per channel on the output side of the system or device is then measured. A ratio of power density for the empty to the active channels is then formed. The determination of WPR for a system or components can be realized during periods of operation through periodic transfer of test signals either at allocated times or by interleaving among existing traffic signals in the system.

Abstract: A first reception power measuring section 206 measures reception power of individual channel signals transmitted with a narrow directivity, and a second reception power measuring section 207 measures reception power of common channel signals transmitted with a wide directivity. A determining section 210 determines the presence or absence of a directional shift based on an average reception power of the individual channel signals and an average reception power of the common channel signals. A transmission power controlling means 211 performs transmission power control based on the determination result. This makes it possible to correctly determine the cause of a reduction in reception power and to control transmission power accurately.

Abstract: Devices and methods for improved inspections of conducting structures of different shapes. An eddy-current probe includes an excitation coil unit, a magnetic detector within the probe, a signal-conditioning/preamplifier circuit within the probe, and a signal channel. The excitation coil unit is shielded on substantially all sides except an emission face that transmits an alternating magnetic signal to a conducting (e.g., metal) object, such that the metal object modifies the alternating magnetic signal. The magnetic detector within the probe is also shielded on substantially all sides except a reception face, such that the alternating magnetic signal as modified by the metal object is received into the shielded magnetic detector and converted into a first electrical signal. The signal-conditioning/preamplifier circuit within the probe is shielded on substantially all sides and provided with electrical power. The shielded preamplifier provides detection for very small signals, such as from magnetic probing of aircraft skin metals. Other embodiments include a traveling-wave excitation structure and a multiple-phase driving circuit, some of which include the shielded pre-amplifier, and others of which are not shielded. An eddy scope is described that provides a multiple-phase excitation signal to various different probes.
