28 results about "Radio relay" patented technology

Radio stations that cannot communicate directly due to distance, terrain or other difficulties sometimes use an intermediate radio relay station to relay the signals. A radio relay receives weak signals and retransmits them, often in a different direction, as a stronger signal. Examples include airborne radio relay, microwave radio relay, and communications satellite. The American Radio Relay League was founded for this purpose but did not change its name when this became a less important part of its work.

Radio Relay System

To continue continuous communication with only a small interruption without being subject to a restriction in a wireless relay system that cannot resume relay communication unless a predetermined transmission pause time is set when the relay of continuous communication exceeds a predetermined time limit. [Solution] The repeater 100 switches between two pairs of opposite waves. When relaying continuous communication on one pair of waves begins, a timer is started to measure the time limit of 3 minutes and 30 seconds before that (S217 → S222). When continuous communication exceeds 2 minutes 30 seconds, carrier sense for the other pair of waves is repeated. If a transmission stop or dead state occurs and the result of the most recent carrier sense at that time is an idle state, relaying on the currently used pair of waves is terminated and a beacon signal to switch to the other pair of waves is transmitted, causing communication terminals 201 and 202 to also set the other pair of waves to a use state (S223 to S230 → FIG. 5A). The pair of waves used is changed before the time limit, so the above restriction is not imposed.

Radio Relay System

In a wireless repeating system that performs group communication using paired waves in a semi-duplex system, communication becomes impossible if there is jamming radio waves at the repeater or communication terminal. [Solution] The repeater 50 has a modulation / transmission unit TX01 for communication and a reception / demodulation unit RX01, as well as a reception / demodulation unit RX02 that cyclically scans a group of channels that are always available to search for an available pair of waves, and each communication terminal 60 has a modulation / transmission unit TX11 and a reception / demodulation unit RX11 that has the cyclic scanning function in standby mode. When jamming radio waves are detected in RX01 of the repeater 50, the RX01 changes the setting to the pair of waves that is the farthest away from a non-available pair of waves among the available pairs of waves searched for by RX02, and transmits a channel change request (CCR) from TX01. Each communication terminal 60 receives the CCR during the cyclic scanning process of RX11, and changes the setting of TX11 and RX11 to the transmission / reception pair of waves that corresponds to the receiving channel of the CCR.
