Patents by Inventor Gilbert R. Grado

Gilbert R. Grado 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: 4879694
    Abstract: A demultiplexer circuit responsive to a composite input signal from a sonobouy. The invention circuit has a filter and comparator means responsive to the composite signal for providing a filtered frequency pilot reference signal. The filtered frequency pilot reference signal has a frequency equal to one half the frequency of a reference carrier signal in the composite signal. The invention circuit has a sine demodulator means responsive to the composite signal and to an east/west demodulator signal for providing an east referenced output signal. A cosine demodulator means is responsive to the composite signal and to a north/south demodulator signal for providing a demodulated phase pilot signal and the north referenced output signal. A north/south filter means is responsive to the output signals from the cosine demodulator means for filtering the demodulated phase pilot signal to provide the north referenced output signal.

  • Patent number: 4868792
    Abstract: A demultiplexer test circuit having a signal source summing means responsive to a selected target angle theta for adding a first independent noise signal to an input signal to provide a composite omni signal and for adding a second noise signal to the product of the cosine of the selected target angle and the input signal to provide a composite cosine signal, and for adding a third noise signal to the product of the sine of the selected target angle and the input signal to provide a composite sine signal. A dual output phase shifting means responsive to a selected heading angle phi provides a quad count signal, a quad count clock signal, a reference count signal and a reference count clock signal. The reference count signal is lags the quad count signal by a time interval proportional to the selected heading angle phi.
