Disclosed is a signal conductor formed as a metal oxide varistor (MOV), the MOV having a first MOV and a second MOV separated by an insulator. In some embodiments, the disclosed signal conductor may be used in a system communicably coupled to a power transmission distribution network, the system capable of launching transverse electromagnetic waves onto a transmission line, where the electromagnetic waves propagating a data signal conveyed to the system by the MOV.

A set of stators of a linear induction motor are mounted on a track. A three-phase current is provided to each of the stators, such that a traveling magnetic field (TMF) is created by the stators along the length of the track. The traveling magnetic field includes a magnetic flux corresponding to a stator excitation modulated with a message signal. A rotor includes a series of conductor plates. As the traveling magnetic field passes through the conductor plates, a current is induced in the plates by induction. Such current then generates an opposing magnetic field causing the plates and the vehicle to be propelled. Each phase may first be modulated with a message signal, before being provided to the stator. The current at the rotor is then demodulated to realize the message signal. A doppler shift due to the speed of the rotor relative to the stator is corrected.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, a request for uplink reference signal resources for a beam training procedure. The UE may receive, in response to the transmitted request, control signaling identifying the uplink reference signal resources for the beam training procedure. The UE may transmit, using a set of multiple of beams, reference signals on the identified uplink reference signal resources and receive, in response to the transmitted reference signals, an indication of beam parameters for a beam at the UE. The UE may communicate with the base station using the beam at the UE according to the beam parameters.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring reference signals. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a control message indicating a first quasi co-location (QCL) for an aperiodic-tracking reference signal (A-TRS), the A-TRS being associated with a periodic-tracking reference signal (P-TRS), determining a second QCL for the P-TRS based on the first QCL for the A-TRS, setting a receive beam for reception of the P-TRS based on the second QCL of the P-TRS, and decoding one or more frames based on channel statistics estimated via the P-TRS received via the receive beam.

A base station for communication with a terminal station having a plurality of terminal station antennas. The base station has a plurality of directional antennas, each of the plurality of directional antennas in communication with satellites in view. The base station also has a processing device (e.g., eNodeB) to transmit each of the multiple base-station antenna signals via each of the plurality of directional antennas to satellites and/or the beams of the same satellite seen by the terminal station for retransmission to the plurality of terminal station antennas.

Doppler effects are compensated for in received wireless communication signals. In a receiver a first signal is received, that was transmitted by a transmitter at a first frequency f.sub.1 and that was received at a doppler-shifted first frequency f.sub.1′ and a second signal, that was transmitted by said transmitter at a second frequency f.sub.2 and that was received at a doppler-shifted second frequency f.sub.2′ is also received. A frequency difference f.sub.S between the first frequency f.sub.1 and the second frequency f.sub.2 has a predetermined value. Based on the doppler-shifted first frequency f.sub.1′, the doppler-shifted second frequency f.sub.2′ and the frequency difference f.sub.S, the first frequency f.sub.1 is determined for pre-compensating Doppler effects in the received first signal.
