PACKET ENERGY TRANSFER POWERED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR MACRO ANTENNA SYSTEMS AND POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM THEREFOR

摘要

A power-data distribution system including a packet energy transfer (PET) system, a converter, a conductive cable and a fiber optic cable. The PET system transmits discrete packets of digital energy and produces a continuous stream of analog power. The converter reduces the analog power from the first to a second potential, wherein the second potential is lower than a threshold potential. A conductive cable transmits the discrete packets of digital energy from a power source to a load while a fiber optic cable exchanges data between a data source and the target device.

主权项

1. A power-data distribution system, comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit packets of digital energy; a receiver configured to receive the packets of digital energy from the transmitter and convert the packets of digital energy into a source of analog power having a first potential; a converter configured to receive the source of analog power for conversion from a first to a second potential, the second potential being lower than a threshold potential; a conductive cable configured to transmit the packets of digital energy from the transmitter to the receiver, the receiver powering a target device; and a fiber optic cable configured to exchange data between a data source and the target device.
