Patents by Inventor Christopher John Leskiw

Christopher John Leskiw has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10444353
    Abstract: An imaging system that utilizes deterministic bit sequences modulated onto an in-phase component of a carrier frequency and continuously transmitted via a transducer and received for imaging a medium and/or environment is provided. The received signal is demodulated by an in-phase demodulator and a quadrature demodulator and the demodulated components are processed to provide a spatial mapping of a medium or environment being imaged.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7251290
    Abstract: A bank of complex gain elements is used to provide a step-wise approximation of an arbitrary complex-gain predistortion function for a nonlinear transmitter. The bank of gain elements is in an adaptive loop realizing adaptive control. The adaptive loop is closed between an Input of the gain bank and an output of the transmitter through a linear receiver at an adaptive controller composed of a bank of proportional-integral (PI) controllers. The real and imaginary parts of each predistortion gain element are controlled by a corresponding adaptive PI controller. The signals processed by the adaptive controller are represented in orthogonal coordinates in terms of real and imaginary number pairs of complex numbers. The adaptive controller achieves unconditionally stable operation independently from the arbitrary phase rotation in the input signal or the adaptive loop.
