Patent No. US 11,115,121 B2

September 7, 2021 - Inglewood, CA - Empower RF Systems is proud to announce the issuance of a new patent entitled "Power Amplifier System with an Internal Optical Communication Link." Techniques for implementing an internal optical communication link in a power amplifier system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a power amplifier system that includes a panel, an optical link, and a controller. The panel includes a plurality of signal endpoints and a first optical interface, the first optical interface being coupled to each of the plurality of signal endpoints. The optical link is coupled to the first optical interface. The controller is configured to manage operation of the power amplifier system and is coupled to the optical link via a second optical interface. The controller communicates with each of the plurality of signal endpoints over the optical link. Assigned names on the patent are Donald M. Wike, Michael Berman, Darren Miles, Paulo Correa, Leonid Mogilevsky, and Marc Obbad.
