  • Patent number: 11949540
    Abstract: An apparatus and digital signal processing means are disclosed for excision of co-channel interference from signals received in crowded or hostile environments using spatial/polarization diverse arrays, which reliably and rapidly identifies communication signals with transmitted features that are self-coherent over known framing intervals due to known attributes of the communication network, and exploits those features to develop diversity combining weights that substantively excise that co-channel interference from those communication signals, based on differing diversity signature, timing offset, and carrier offset between the network signals and the co-channel interferers. In one embodiment, the co-channel interference excision is performed in an appliqué that can be implemented without coordination with a network transceiver.

  • Patent number: 11916707
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for architectures for an analog feedback class D modulator that increase the power efficiency of the class D modulator. In particular, systems and methods are provided for an analog feedback class D modulator having a digital feed-forward loop. The digital feed-forward loop allows for removal of signal content from an input to an analog-to-digital converter, such that the ADC processes just noise and/or error. Using the techniques discussed herein, the loop filter is low power as it processes error content but not signal content.
