METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FILTERING AND AMPLIFYING HIGHER POWER COMMUNICATION SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945785 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FILTERING AND AMPLIFYING HIGHER POWER COMMUNICATION SIGNALS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for processing RF signals using hybrid couplers and SAW filters to improve signal quality before transmission or reception.
- The RF signal is split by first hybrid couplers into a group of RF signals.
- The group of RF signals is filtered by a plurality of SAW filters to obtain a group of filtered RF signals.
- The filtered RF signals are combined by second hybrid couplers into a single filtered RF signal.
- The filtered RF signal is then provided to an antenna or receiver.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in telecommunications, radar systems, satellite communications, and wireless networks.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in improving the quality of RF signals by filtering out unwanted noise and interference, resulting in better transmission and reception.
Benefits
The use of hybrid couplers and SAW filters enhances signal clarity, reduces signal degradation, and improves overall system performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include RF transmitters, receivers, base stations, and other communication equipment.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of traditional filters and signal processing techniques in RF systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing signal processing methods in terms of cost and efficiency?
The article does not provide a direct comparison with existing methods in terms of cost and efficiency.
Are there any limitations or constraints in implementing this technology in different types of RF systems?
The article does not address any potential limitations or constraints in implementing this technology in various RF systems.
