  • Publication number: 20170285176
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for locating a vehicle. A locating device receives position data and determines an approximate position of the vehicle. A remote server reports a plurality of corrections factor for a respective plurality of locations which are buffered by a transmission server into a burst transmission. The transmission server transmits the burst transmission of the correction factors over a wireless data channel. A receiver receives the burst transmission from the transmission server and a correction device extracts a selected correction factor from the burst transmission based on the approximate position to determine a refined position of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20170176599
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for locating a vehicle. A locating device receives position data and determines an approximate position of the vehicle. A remote server reports a correction factor for each of a plurality of locations and a broadcast server broadcasts the correction factors over a wireless data stream. A receiver device receives the correction factors from the broadcast device and a correction device extracts a selected correction factor from the wireless data stream based on the location and the approximate position to determine a refined position of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7852149
    Abstract: The present invention is a system for amplifying a signal input. The system may include a signal separator. The signal separator may be configured for receiving the signal input and separating the signal input to form a first component, a second component, a third component, and a fourth component. The system may further include a first modulator. The first modulator may be configured for being connected to the signal separator and may be further configured for receiving and amplifying the first component to form a first modulator output. The system may further include a second modulator. The second modulator may be configured for being connected to the signal separator and may be further configured for receiving and amplifying the second component to form a second modulator output.

  • Patent number: 7508262
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) amplifier system uses an envelope elimination and restoration (EER) amplifier having at least one carrier input, at least one power input, and at least one amplifier output carrying an amplified signal. The RF amplifier system disclosed also uses a diplexer receiving the amplified signal and filtering the amplified signal, the diplexer having at least one RF output and at least one harmonic energy output. Further, the RF amplifier system uses a harmonic energy recovery circuit. The harmonic energy recovery circuit is coupled to the at least one harmonic energy output and the harmonic energy recovery circuit having at least one output coupled to the EER amplifier.
