| 20080303742 | Coherently Combining Antennas - An apparatus includes antenna elements configured to receive a signal including pseudo-random code, and electronics configured to use the pseudo-random code to determine time delays of signals incident upon the antenna elements and to compensate the signals to coherently combine the antenna elements. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090033575 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANTENNA TRACKING - A method includes determining if a dynamics requirement for an antenna positioner is exceeded, and employing a combination of mechanical and electronic beam steering techniques to steer a single antenna beam if the dynamics requirement is exceeded. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090174601 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANTENNA TRACKING - A method includes determining if a dynamics requirement for an antenna positioner is exceeded, and employing a combination of mechanical and electronic beam steering techniques to steer a single antenna beam if the dynamics requirement is exceeded. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100039332 | Quasi-Compact Range - An antenna method includes using a reflector antenna to produce a test field within a test region at a quasi-compact range, which is within a near-field of the reflector antenna but further from an aperture plane of the reflector antenna than a compact range of the reflector antenna. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20110260920 | Systems and Methods for Protecting a Receiving Antenna from Interference by a Transmitting Antenna - Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for systems and methods for adaptively canceling interfering signals generated by a transmission antenna. Under one aspect, a system includes: an auxiliary antenna co-located with the main antenna, the auxiliary antenna configured to transmit an auxiliary signal to the victim antenna; a sensing antenna located on a line-of-sight path between the transmission antenna and the victim antenna, the sensing antenna configured to receive a composite of the interference and the auxiliary signal, and to output a first signal based on the received composite; a controller comprising an input coupled to the sensing antenna and configured to receive the first signal, the controller being configured to adjust at least one of an amplitude, a phase, a polarization, and a frequency characteristic of the auxiliary signal based on the first signal so as to reduce the composite of the interference and the auxiliary signal received by the sensing antenna. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110268168 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INCREASED COMMUNICATION THROUGHPUT - Systems and methods for increasing communication throughput by superimposing multiple signal components in the same bandwidth are disclosed. Cochannel interference is reduced by using signal separation algorithms. The signal separation algorithms may use both a priori information about the superimposed signals and measured channel parameters. In addition, error correction encoding and interleaving may be used to reduce signal power and obviate the need for ideal signal separation. | 11-03-2011 |
