Systems and methods having LPRF device wake up using wireless tag

Systems and methods utilized a wireless transceiver (5008) having a low power radio frequency (LPRF) component (5010) that powers down to conserve energy and powers up in response to a signal; and a second receiver (5014) that provides the signal via line (5018) in response to receipt of a radio frequency broadcast. The broadcast is targeted to activate particular transceivers by including in the broadcast identifications such as class designations, in which case the transceivers power up and form networks. A transceiver may include one or more identifications and may include a unique identification of the transceiver itself. The LPRF component may be a Bluetooth radio, but in such case the overall transceiver itself only draws about 10 to 15 μA while actively awaiting and screening for a targeted broadcast.

Switchless combining system and method

A switchless combiner for high-power broadcast signals incorporates a circular waveguide configured as an orthogonal mode transducer to provide a coherent signal and a phase rotator to steer the combined signal to an output coupler. Out-of-phase RF is absorbed by a station load. The phase rotator is capable of redirecting the output from either of the sources or all of the combined output to the station load. Switching between destinations for the RF components may be made with power applied. The input and output characteristics and mechanical configuration permit the switchless combiner to be integrated with other high-power RF broadcast signal manipulation devices.
