20200213945, Jul 2, 2020

Filed:

Dec 28, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/235146

Inventors:

- Germantown MD, US
Emanuel HARRINGTON - Germantown MD, US

International Classification:

H04W 52/02
H04B 7/155

Abstract:

A user terminal includes a WiFi card and a communications card. The WiFi card includes a first electronic controller, an antenna in communication with the first electronic controller, the antenna of the WiFi card configured to receive a signal from a remote device. The communications card includes a second electronic controller, a connector configured to connect to an external communications device, and a power switch in communication with the second electronic controller and the connector, the second electronic controller configured to control the power switch to enable or disable power through the connector upon receiving instructions from the first electronic controller, based on the signal received by the antenna of the WiFi card.

Appl. No.:

15/097655

Inventors:

Emanuel Harrington - Bowie MD, US
Douglas Ricker - Frederick MD, US

Assignee:

Hughes Network Systems, LLC - Germantown MD

International Classification:

H04M 1/725
H04B 7/155

Abstract:

A satellite communication system, a method and a system are provided. In one aspect of the invention, an outdoor unit power source is connected to a switch of a satellite modem of an indoor unit. When the satellite modem receives a first signal from a wireless device, a first switch control signal is sent to the switch to open a connection between the outdoor unit power source and an inter-facility link connected to an antenna of an outdoor unit, thereby preventing power from flowing through the inter-facility link. When the satellite modem receives a second signal from the wireless device, a second switch control signal is sent to the switch to close a connection between the outdoor unit power source and the inter-facility link, thereby causing the power to flow through the inter-facility link. Other wirelessly received signals may cause various control signals to be sent via the inter-facility link.

Appl. No.:

14/840614

Inventors:

- Germantown MD, US
Emanuel HARRINGTON - Germantown MD, US

International Classification:

H04W 52/02

Abstract:

An apparatus, system and method for monitoring power to a communication device and switching operation modes. The system is monitored in order to detect a power interruption to the communication device. A first signal is supplied to the communication device to indicate the occurrence of a power interruption and/or activation of a backup power supply. The communication device is then switched to a low power mode which limits one or more operating functions.

International Classification:

H04L 27/22
H03M 1/12
H04L 27/34

Abstract:

Systems and methods provide a receiver design capable of both wideband (high symbol rate) and narrowband (low symbol rate) operations requirements without compromising narrowband performance. Moreover, such a receiver design can be very low cost, and eschewing the need for any expensive and/or specialized elements. A receiver configured in accordance with various embodiments utilizes a fully integrated tuner in which narrowband filters are configured to be bypassable when in wideband (high symbol rate) mode in favor of fixed wideband filters. Additionally, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) can be implemented with digital gain for wideband operation, as well as digital data bit mapping to accommodate industry standard application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) interfaces, such as from a 12 bit ADC core to an 8 bit digital interface.
