Methods And Systems Acquiring Impulse Signals

View page
US Patent:
20040136439, Jul 15, 2004
Filed:
Nov 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/713615
Inventors:
Brandon Dewberry - Huntsville AL, US
Vern Brethour - Owens Cross Roads AL, US
David Hyde - Madison AL, US
Catherine Chubb - Madison AL, US
International Classification:
H04K001/00
H04B015/00
H04B001/713
H04L027/30
US Classification:
375/130000
Abstract:
Methods and systems for acquiring a received impulse signal packet including a plurality of repeating short acquisition code sequences and at least one ratchet code sequence following a last one of the plurality of repeating short acquisition code sequences, the repeating short acquisition code sequences defined by a short acquisition code, the at least one ratchet code sequence defined by a ratchet code, and each ratchet code sequence greater in length than each repeating short acquisition code sequence. The method includes the step of concurrently searching the received impulse signal packet for the short acquisition code sequence in accordance with a frame time offset and each of a plurality of acquisition code offsets. The frame time offset is adjusted after each time the short acquisition code sequence is not found during a search. Tracking of the received impulse signal packet is initiated immediately after the short acquisition code sequence is found. The method also includes the step of concurrently searching the received impulse signal packet for a ratchet code sequence in accordance with each of a plurality of code boundaries. A delimeter is then searched for and found. Data payload follows the delimeter. Further, a threshold detector using an acquisition logic algorithm comprising four fully programmable threshold equations is provided herein.

US Patent:
20210399804, Dec 23, 2021
Filed:
Jun 21, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/352876
Inventors:
- Huntsville AL, US
Jared Lee Oldacre - Madison AL, US
Vern Brethour - Owens Crossroads AL, US
Assignee:
ADTRAN, Inc. - Huntsville AL
International Classification:
H04B 10/2581
H04B 10/80
H04Q 11/00
Abstract:
Circuitry of an optical line terminal (OLT) can be controlled to be compatible with optical modules of different optical protocols having different electrical connectivity requirements. In some embodiments, the OLT has a controller that is configured to communicate with an optical module plugged or otherwise mated with a socket of the OLT in order to discover a module type of the optical module. Based on the detected module type, the controller is configured to control the electrical characteristics of the OLT circuitry so that it is compatible with the electrical and operational requirements of the optical module. Thus, the OLT is compatible for use with any of a plurality of optical module types.

Systems And Methods For Communicating High Speed Signals In A Communication Device

US Patent:
20210159988, May 27, 2021
Filed:
Feb 4, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/167879
Inventors:
- Huntville AL, US
Vern Brethour - Owens Crossroads AL, US
Assignee:
ADTRAN, Inc. - Huntsville AL
International Classification:
H04B 10/80
H04B 10/40
Abstract:
A coupling module can be used to communicate high speed signals between an optical transceiver and a processing module of an optical communication device, such as an optical line termination (OLT) or an optical network unit (ONU). The coupling module can adjust the common mode voltage level of a differential signal output by the optical transceiver to the common mode voltage level required by the processing module. In addition, the coupling module splits each of the differential output signals from the optical transceiver and passes the split signals to both a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter that are connected in parallel. An adapter module can be connected to the coupling module such that the coupling module can receive different differential signals from different optical transceivers.

US Patent:
20200412584, Dec 31, 2020
Filed:
Jun 28, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/457071
Inventors:
- Huntsville AL, US
Vern Brethour - Owens Crossroads AL, US
Assignee:
ADTRAN, Inc. - Huntsville AL
International Classification:
H04L 25/02
G02B 6/42
H03F 3/45
H03H 7/01
H03H 11/12
H03F 3/68
H04B 10/40
Abstract:
A coupling module can be used to communicate high speed signals between an optical transceiver and a processing module of an optical communication device, such as an optical line termination (OLT) or an optical network unit (ONU). The coupling module can adjust the common mode voltage level of a differential signal output by the optical transceiver to the common mode voltage level required by the processing module. In addition, the coupling module splits each of the differential output signals from the optical transceiver and passes the split signals to both a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter that are connected in parallel. The outputs of the high-pass filter and the low-pass filter from different paths of the differential signal are cross-coupled and combined to provide a differential signal to the processing module.

US Patent:
20170131730, May 11, 2017
Filed:
Nov 5, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/933771
Inventors:
Daniel M. Joffe - Owens Crossroads, AL
W. Stuart Venters - Huntsville AL, US
Vern Brethour - Owens Crossroads AL, US
Assignee:
ADTRAN, Inc. - Huntsville AL
International Classification:
G05F 1/46
H04B 3/54
G05F 5/00
H03H 11/12
G05F 3/18
H04L 25/06
H03H 11/04
Abstract:
A coupling module can be used to communicate high speed signals between an optical transceiver and a processing module of an optical communication device, such as an optical line termination (OLT) or an optical network unit (ONU). The coupling module can adjust the DC offset voltage level of the signal output by the optical transceiver to the DC offset voltage level required by the processing module. In addition, the coupling module splits the output signal from the optical transceiver and passes the signal to both a high pass filter and a low pass filter that are connected in parallel. The outputs of the high pass filter and the low pass filter are then combined and provided to the processing module. The high pass filter and the low pass filter can be configured such that all frequencies of the signal from the optical transceiver are provided to the processing module.
