Abstract: The present invention represents an integrated antenna assembly comprising a cellular communications antenna and a satellite communications antenna. Such an antenna assembly can, therefore, be used for communications over either frequency range. A wireless telephone using this assemvly can, therefore, operate with either a terrestrial cellular communications system or a satellite communications system. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the satellite communications antenna is a quadrifilar helix antenna and the cellular communications antenna is a sleeve dipole. The whip portion of the sleeve dipole is positioned axially in the center of the quadrifilar helix antenna. This orientation permits operation in both the satellite and cellular frequency ranges without significant electromagnetic coupling.

Abstract: A method of and system for estimating the bit error rate of a channel in an optical communication system includes a method of and system for measuring t he in-band cross-talk of the channel in a wavelength division multiplexed syste m. A single channel is selected from the plurality of channels in the optical communication system. The signal in this single channel is passed to a digit al signal processor proportional to the time rate of change of a phase of an optical source generating the signal. The digital signal processor converts the filtered signal into the frequency domain, and a spectrum analyzer determines the features of the in-band cross-talk from the signal in the frequency domain. The features of the in-band cross-talk may be combined wit h other measured noise features, such as the power spectral density, to estima te BER.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a method, with which the smallest possible amount of paint used for coating the bottom of the can extends beyond the bottom area (30a, 30b) and into the wall area (30c) provided with a decoration, in order to reduce the amount of paint used and to prevent the decoration from being altered. To these ends, the invention involves a coating process that uses a fluid coating substance, whereby the cans (30) each have a can axis (102). The cans (30) are supplied in succession out of an inlet (4) while being retained on a support (3) for at least one time interval of the coating process and while being rotated around at least one axis (100, 101, 102). A spraying head (15, 15a), with a spraying axis (104), sprays the coating substance onto at least one of the supplied cans (30), whereby the coating substance is sprayed with a first angle (.alpha.) of the spraying axis with regard to the can axis (102) onto an outer section (30a) of the bottom area of the at least one can. The coating substance is sprayed with a second angle (.beta.) with regard to the can axis onto a section (30b) of the bottom area that is located further inside in a radial direction, whereby the second angle (.beta.) differs from the first angle (.alpha.).
