Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring and maintenance of satellite dish assemblies. In a satellite dish assembly, baseline settings of the satellite dish assembly may be determined, and then current settings of the satellite dish assembly may be monitored, to identify deviations from the baseline settings. The settings may comprise a location setting, an alignment setting, and/or a received signal strength. The results of the monitoring may be reported to a service provider, which may determine based on the reported results adjustment information for applying adjustments to the satellite dish assembly. The adjustments may comprise adjusting the satellite dish assembly back to the baseline settings. The adjustment information may be provided to a technician and/or a user for applying the adjustments to the satellite dish assembly. The satellite dish assembly may communicated to the technician and/or the user, while applying the adjustments, information relating to current settings.

Abstract: A network device may receive a signal from a headend, wherein a bandwidth of the received signal spans from a low frequency to a high frequency and encompasses a plurality of sub-bands. The network device may determine, based on communication with the headend, whether one of more of the sub-bands residing above a threshold frequency are available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the circuitry. The network device may digitize the signal using an ADC operating at a sampling frequency. The sampling frequency may be configured based on a result of the determining. When the sub-band(s) are available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the network device, the sampling frequency may be set to a relatively high frequency. When the sub-band(s) are not available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the network device, the sampling frequency may be set to a relatively low frequency.

Abstract: Methods and systems for crest factor reduction may comprise generating an original waveform, generating a distortion signal by reducing a crest factor of the original waveform, generating an error signal by subtracting out the original waveform from the distortion signal, and generating a conditioned waveform by adding the error signal to the original waveform. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced based on spectral mask requirements. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced using a limiter. The power amplifier may comprise a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The distortion signal may be generated based on a PGA model and/or a predistortion model. A signal from an output of the PA may be fed back to the PGA model. The PGA model may be dynamically configured. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced in an analog domain and/or a digital domain.
