Optical Transceiver Module Having Wireless Communications Capabilities

View page
US Patent:
7796892, Sep 14, 2010
Filed:
Jul 3, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/772881
Inventors:
Rudy L. Prater - Campbell CA, US
Assignee:
Avago Technologies ECBU IP (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. - Singapore
International Classification:
H04B 10/00
US Classification:
398138, 398115, 398139
Abstract:
An optical transceiver module includes a wireless communications device that provides the transceiver module with the ability to receive wireless signals in and/or transmit wireless signals from the optical transceiver module. The wireless communications device may have various configurations for providing various capabilities, such as, for example, a wireless modem, a wireless transmitter, a wireless receiver, a wireless transceiver, and a wireless network access point. The wireless communications device may be configured to transmit and/or receive wireless signals corresponding to, for example, calls, pages, and data transfers.

Method And Apparatus For Testing Transmitters In Optical Fiber Networks

US Patent:
8494376, Jul 23, 2013
Filed:
Apr 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/102099
Inventors:
John F. Petrilla - Palo Alto CA, US
Rudy L. Prater - Campbell CA, US
Assignee:
Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. - Singapore
International Classification:
H04B 10/04
G02F 1/01
US Classification:
398186, 398152, 398185
Abstract:
An eye mask is provided that is defined at least partially in terms of absolute, or non-relative, optical power level values. In essence, the eye mask of the invention is a hybrid of the traditional eye mask in that the eye mask of the invention includes power level values on the optical power axis that are based on the minimum OMA set forth in the applicable standard or data sheet specification rather than on measured power level values obtained from the part being tested. Using the hybrid eye mask of the invention obviates the need to perform at least some of the tests often used to measure transmitter attributes. In addition, using the hybrid eye mask of the invention reduces the possibility that a transmitter may fail the eye mask test even though the transmitter operates satisfactorily.

Encoded Surface Position Sensor With Multiple Wavelengths And Reference Beam

View page
US Patent:
50685287, Nov 26, 1991
Filed:
Aug 28, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/574203
Inventors:
Glen E. Miller - Redondo WA
Rudy L. Prater - Bellevue WA
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Seattle WA
International Classification:
G01D 534
US Classification:
25023113
Abstract:
A position sensor for determining the position of an encoded surface applied to an element. Several embodiments of a position sensor (30, 100, 110, 110', and 200) are disclosed. In each embodiment, light at a reference wavelength and at a test wavelength travel along a common optical path until separated by an interference filter (40, 120, 214). A test beam comprising light at the test wavelength is transmitted through the interference filter toward an encoded surface (44, 216), which reflects a portion and transmits another portion of the test beam. The transmitted portion of the test beam is reflected by a mirror (50, 222) which is disposed adjacent an opposite surface of a rotatable disk (54) or a linear encoder (220) from that on which the encoded surface is applied. The transmitted portion of the test beam is reflected by the mirror along a first optical path (74, 130, 224), while the portion of the test beam that is reflected by the encoded surface travels along a second optical path (68, 138, 230). The relative transmissivity/reflectivity of the encoded surface varies with its position in respect to the point at which the test beam is incident, thereby varying the intensity of the reflected and transmitted portions of the test beam in a predefined manner.
