Patent number: 10667151Abstract: A coverage solution recommendation tool may generate prioritized lists of coverage solutions for resolving a network coverage problem at a location. The tool may obtain network parameters of a wireless communication network that provides services to user devices at the location. The tool may further acquire device parameters of the user devices used at the location, as well as collect environment parameters associated with the location. The environment parameters may affect whether a wireless telecommunication carrier is able to leverage additional coverage solutions to provide services at the location. Accordingly, the coverage solution tool may generate a prioritized list of coverage solutions for resolving the network coverage problem based on the parameters.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Steve Anderson, Robert Dean Cook, Della Jolene Conley

Patent number: 7202940Abstract: A method and system for detecting a target which uses composition correlation filters with score reaffirmation post processing for acquiring a target. The method and system uses target decision rules that are based on comparing the dot products, or peaks, of three score reaffirmation filters and their registered LADAR image to detect a target.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2005Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Chi-Kin Lam, Thomas Dean Cook -
Publication number: 20070015471Abstract: A frequency plan is provided for particular use in a transceiver. Advantageously, a single oscillator may be used to generate desired frequency signals. One or more power splitters receive the signal and equally divide the signal into first and second signals having a frequency substantially equal to the original. Multipliers on each arm of the transceiver receive a signal and increase the frequency of the signal. In one exemplary embodiment, multiple signals having different frequencies may be transmitted over the same cable due in part to the generated frequency separation between the signals. In another exemplary embodiment, multiple signals may be transmitted over multiple cables. Additionally, multiple signals over one or more cables may be transmitted at or below 3 GHz.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2006Publication date: January 18, 2007Inventors: Dean Cook, Kenneth Buer

One or more power splitters receive the signal and equally divide the signal into first and second signals having a frequency substantially equal to the original. Multipliers on each arm of the transceiver receive a signal and increase the frequency of the signal. Ultimately, multiple signals having different frequencies may be transmitted over the same cable due in part to the generated frequency separation between the signals. In one particular aspect, the frequency plan provides a two-thirds relationship between the frequencies of the multiple signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2006Publication date: June 22, 2006Applicant: U.S. MONOLITHICS, L.L.C.Inventor: Dean Cook

Patent number: 6124742Abstract: A wide bandwidth frequency multiplier (48) multiplies a first frequency of an input signal (52) to generate an output signal (54) having a second frequency. The multiplier (48) includes first stage doubler (56). The doubler (56) includes a lumped element power splitter (62), a push-push amplifier (80), and a combining junction (96). The power splitter (62) splits the input signal (52) into first and second signals (70, 72) that are balanced in phase. A series resistive element (86) maintains amplitude balance between the first and second signals (70, 72). First and second feedback circuits (166, 184) are integrated with first and second transistors (164, 182) so that the push-push amplifier (80) operates over wide bandwidth. In addition, the multiplier (48) includes a second stage doubler (58) configured similar to the first stage doubler (56) for producing an output signal (54) that is quadruple the frequency of input signal (52).Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1998Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Dean Cook, Christopher D.
