In an example embodiment, a primary power supply having an input, an output and a mode selection input. The mode selection input is operative to switch the power supply between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. While in the first mode of operation voltage is regulated within a predefined criterion. While in the second mode of operation, voltage at the output is allowed to vary beyond the predefined criteria.

Limiting peak input power

In one embodiment, a powered device is configured to determine module population and the appropriate power requirements for installed modules. The power requirements can be communicated to the power sourcing equipment for the powered device. Optionally, the powered device can receive data representative of available power from the power sourcing equipment and the powered device is responsive to operate accordingly.

Reporting power requirements of a powered device

A system for measuring output power from an antenna. A sensor receives a sample of wireless signals from the antenna and communicates data about the signal back to the transmitter in a manner such that the antenna pattern is undisturbed. An optical coupler, e.g., fiber optic, is used to send data from the sensor to the transmitter. Power for the sensor can be derived parasitically from the wireless signal or can be provided to the sensor optically.

Isolated sensor for an antenna

A method for radar protection. The method includes recording energy events and calculating differences in recorded energy events to determine pulses. The method further includes sorting intervals between pulses into histogram bins, each bin representing a range of time intervals between two pulses, each pulse indicative of a radar frequency and limiting network traffic on a frequency based on a selected bin count.
