Title: Method and apparatus for receiving a continuous radar wave
Inventor: FRANCOIS THOUMY
IPC: G01S13/58
Filed: 2016-09-07
Abstract: A method of processing a received radar return comprising at least a first spectral component in a first sub-bandwidth and a second spectral component in a second sub-bandwidth, the method comprising steps of: filtering the received signal by separately filtering out the first sub-bandwidth and the second sub-bandwidth so as to respectively obtain a first signal related to the first spectral component and a second signal related to the second spectral component; obtaining separately, from the first signal and the second signal, a first beat frequency signal and a second beat frequency signal respectively; and mixing the first beat frequency signal and the second beat frequency signal so as to obtain a mixed signal. Before filtering the received signal the received signal may be mixed with a carrier signal to remove the carrier signal from the received signal. The signal processing method overcomes the problem of increased resolution due to reduced bandwidths when the frequency modulation is split into sub-bands.

Filed: 2015-10-05
Abstract: A technique that reduces interference from an adjacent uncoordinated locationing system (130) includes a plurality of transmitters (100) to transmit signals in accordance with a transmission timing sequence. At least one receiver (110) receives said signals. A backend controller (140) can detect interference from an adjacent uncoordinated locationing system using the receiver, whereupon the controller is operable to modify the transmission timing sequence of the signals emitted by the transmitters, and determine a change in the interference in order to select a sequence that minimizes interference. The controller can modify the transmission timing sequence of the signals emitted by those transmitters near the interference and not modify the sequence of the signals emitted by transmitters that are not subject to the interference.

Title: Operation of automatic repeat request (ARQ)
Inventor: MILOS TESANOVIC
IPC: H04W88/04
Filed: 2018-08-09
Abstract: Operating a node in a network comprising a user equipment UE 203 (e.g. mobile phone), IAB 201 (e.g. integrated backhaul donor) and one or more nodes 205a-b between the UE and IAB donor. The node selectively operates in a first or second mode based on a switching criterion.

In the second mode, a received packet is forwarded to an adjacent/next node towards the UE and the received packet is stored. A received status report is inspected to determine whether the packet has been correctly received by the UE and the stored packet is retransmitted towards the UE if the status report indicates that the packet has not been correctly received by the UE; an ACK corresponding to the retransmitted packet is received; the status report in response to receipt of the ACK is updated; the updated status report is forwarded to a next node towards the IAB donor; and the stored packet discarded once the ACK has been received.

Title: Superluminescent diodes and diode modules
Inventor: Antonino Francesco Castiglia
IPC: H01S5/023
Filed: 2018-12-06
Abstract: A multiwavelength superluminescent LED is fabricated by sequentially depositing adjacent epitaxial stacks onto a substrate to form a monolithic chip structure. Each epitaxial stack includes n-type layers, active layers and p-type layers. A ridge is formed in the p-type layers by etching a defect region between the end facets of the chip to induce a waveguiding region in the active layers. Different ones of the epitaxial stacks emit at different wavelength ranges. A module is made by assembling one of the above SLED devices with another SLED device, with one inverted relative to the other to form a triangle of emitters as viewed end on, for example a triangle of red, green and blue emitters. The SLED devices and modules may find use in projection, endoscopic, fundus imaging and optical coherence tomography systems.
