Abstract:
A stabilized ultra-high bandwidth capacity transceiver system that combines an E-band (71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz) millimeter wave RF transceiver with an eye-safe adaptive optics Free Space Optical (FSO) transceiver as a combined apparatus for simultaneous point-to-point commercial communications. The apparatus has a high degree of assured carrier availability under stressing environmental conditions. The apparatus establishes and maintains pointing and stabilization of mmW RF and FSO optical beams between adjacent line of sight apparatuses. The apparatus can rapidly acquire and reacquire the FSO optical carrier link in the event the optical carrier link is impaired due to adverse weather.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for improving the quality of transmitted data are described. Multiple distinct communication channels are used to transmit segments representing the same pre-transmission block of a data packet. Upon receipt of these segments, a system identifies differences between the segments for those segments that meet a quality threshold. The system selects one of segments for subsequent transmission or re-assembly into a data packet based on the prior performance of the communication channels used to transmit the segments.

Abstract:
Automatic Phase Shifter and Aligner for High-Speed Serial Data including a serializer device per data stream, a single phase detector per pair of data streams to measure the phase offset between the pair of data streams, a circuit that generates an offset signal proportional to the phase offset that is used to adjust the phase of the reference clock of the serializer for one of the parallel data streams such that its phase is bit-aligned with the second data stream, and a bit shifter per each 30 parallel data stream that aligns the two data streams within one bit.
