US Patent:

61014001, Aug 8, 2000

Filed:

Aug 20, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/914983

Inventors:

Ronald Steven Ogaz - Los Gatos CA
Gerald Edward Stark - Sunnyvale CA

Assignee:

Interwave Communications, Inc. - Menlo Park CA

International Classification:

H04B 100

US Classification:

455561

Abstract:

A base transceiver station (BTS) in a cellular communication system having a base station controller (BSC) and a mobile services switching center (MSC). The BSC is configured for facilitating communication between the BSC and a plurality of mobile stations (MS's). The communication with the plurality of the MS's is accomplished via radio frequency (RF) medium. The BTS includes a first interface circuit for coupling the BTS with the BSC. The BTS further includes a processor coupled to the first interface circuit for processing first digital data received from the BSC to form second digital data. There is further included a first central transceiver (CTRX) circuit coupled to the processor. The first CTRX circuit is co-resident with the processor and the first interface circuit. The BTS further includes a first remote transceiver (RTRX) circuit coupled to the first CTRX circuit.

Abstract:

A probe actutaed switch comprising a plurality of electrical contact blades and a first and second actuator for engagement with a first and second probe. The actuators are slidably mounted and positioned to engage selected ones of the contact blades. Each actuator defines a rest position and is biased to that rest position by selected contact blades. First and second probe guides are aligned for engagement with the first and second probes. Each guide is adapted to guide a respective probe into engagement with a respective actuator. A latch mechanism is positioned to releasably latch the first actuator in its rest position. As the probes are inserted into the respective probe guides, they are guided into engagement with the actuators. The second actuator is thereupon moved from its rest position to alter the electrical connections of selected ones of the plurality of contacts. The first actuator is held in its rest position until the first probe is fully inserted.
