A method for compensating a movement of an antenna structure having a directive antenna mounted thereto is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining sensor data from a motion sensor, where the sensor data is indicative of the movement of the antenna structure relative to a reference orientation. Moreover, the motion sensor is associated with a set of calibration parameters such that when applied to the obtained sensor data, calibrated sensor data is formed. Further, the method comprises generating a compensation signal at an output for controlling a beam direction of the directive antenna based on the formed calibrated sensor data such that the beam direction is an intended direction of the directive antenna and such that the (unwanted) movement of the antenna structure is compensated. The method further comprises re-calibrating the motion sensor in order to generate a set of calibration coefficients upon either one of an expiry of a predefined time period, a counter reaching a counter threshold, or upon a measured antenna parameter or signal parameter diverging from a parameter range. Once, one of these conditions are fulfilled, the re-calibration is performed by obtaining a received signal strength indication (RSSI) while the beam direction is controlled based on the generated compensation signal, generating the set of calibration coefficients based on the obtained RSSI, and updating the set of calibration parameters for the motion sensor with the determined set of calibration coefficients.

Method and system for mast sway compensation

A system for communication over a fiber link is disclosed. The system comprises a transmitter to transmit an information signal that comprises an information spectrum, and to transmit two spectrally inverted copies of the information spectrum over the predefined length of the fiber link, the two spectrally inverted copies corresponding to a first spectrum with a first center wavelength and to a second spectrum with a second center wavelength, the second spectrum being inverted relative to the first spectrum and the second center wavelength being different from the first center wavelength, and a receiver to receive the first spectrum and the second spectrum, and to estimate a phase rotation of the second spectrum relative to the first spectrum by comparing a first phase measured from the first spectrum with a second phase measured from the second spectrum.

Communication system for a nonlinear fiber channel

The invention discloses a photo detector with first and second groups of electrodes. The electrodes of each group are connected to a first common conductor for the group, and are located on a layer of photosensitive material. The electrodes are parallel to and interlaced with each other. The first common conductors are essentially plane, arranged at the same end of their group of electrodes, and arranged as upper and lower conductors parallel to and overlapping each other separated by a dielectric material, and form a signal electrode and a ground plane of a first microstrip line. The first microstrip line acts as a first combiner for currents induced in the electrodes of the two groups and as a matching network for the electrodes and for a load which can be connected to the photo detector.

Scalable large area photo detector with asymmetric microstrip transition

The present invention refers to a variable capacitor comprising a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and a semiconductor layer, the first and second layers being arranged to be displaced relative to each other under the influence of an electrostatically generated force. The semiconductor layer constitutes a voltage generator, which when exposed to a radiation produces a voltage for charging the first and second conductive layers and induces the electrostatically generated force.
