Multiplexing radar beat signals

An apparatus is disclosed for multiplexing radar beat signals. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes an antenna array and a wireless transceiver jointly configured to transmit a radar transmit signal and receive two or more radar receive signals. The two or more radar receive signals represent portions of the radar transmit signal that are reflected by an object. The wireless transceiver comprises a radio-frequency integrated circuit with two or more receive chains and a multiplexing circuit. Each one of the two or more receive chains is configured to generate a radar beat signal by downconverting a respective radar receive signal of the two or more radar receive signals using the radar transmit signal. The multiplexing circuit is coupled to the two or more receive chains and is configured to multiplex the two or more radar beat signals together to generate a composite radar beat signal.

SATELLITE SYSTEM HAVING TERMINALS IN HOPPING BEAMS COMMUNICATING WITH MORE THAN ONE GATEWAY

A satellite communication system includes a satellite configured to provide a first plurality of spot beams adapted for communication with subscriber terminals using time domain beam hopping and a second plurality of spot beams adapted for communication with gateways. The satellite includes a spectrum routing network that is configured to time multiplex spot beams of the second plurality of spot beams with spot beams of the first plurality of spot beams so that a spot beam that is implementing beam hopping for communication to subscriber terminals communicates with different feeder beams (and, therefore, different gateways) at different times during a hopping period.

Single radio switching between multiple wireless links

A computing device (such as a computer gaming console) uses only a single radio to concurrently communicate with a wireless network access point and wireless client devices such as game controllers or peripherals. To establish and maintain both a high-throughput link with the access point, and a low-latency link with the client device(s), the single Wi-Fi radio of the computing device is configured to periodically switch between a channel used for the high-throughput link and a different channel that is used for the low-latency link—thus implementing a combination of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM). The console may use aspects of the Wi-Fi protocol standard to ensure that periodically switching its single radio between the two channels is accomplished while maintaining reliable communication on both channels.
