UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR-TO-COAXIAL CONVERTER
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250102641 titled 'UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR-TO-COAXIAL CONVERTER
Original Abstract Submitted
a system includes processing circuitry communicatively coupled to a coaxial cable as well as a sensor, such as a light detection and ranging (lidar) sensor communicatively coupled to an unshielded twisted pair (utp) cable. the processing circuitry and lidar sensor may be communicatively coupled to one another via a utp-to-coaxial converter that is communicatively coupled to both the coaxial cable and the utp cable. the utp-to-coaxial converter includes filter circuitry configured to receive one or more signals generated by the lidar sensor and generate one or more filtered signals by blocking a portion of the one or more signals having a frequency in a first frequency range. the utp-to-coaxial converter is configured to send the one or more filtered signals to the processing circuitry via the coaxial cable.
