Yrjö Kaipainen 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: 11234195
    Abstract: A radio transceiver comprises one or more hardware resources, e.g. a processor; memory; a peripheral device; an algorithmic hardware accelerator; and/or a radio frequency component. A cellular communication radio is operable in an active mode in which it has access to the one or more hardware resources for transmitting and/or receiving cellular communication signals, and an inactive mode in which it does not. A global navigation satellite systems radio, arranged to use the one or more hardware resources to receive positioning signals, has access to the one or more hardware resources only when the cellular communication radio is operated in the inactive mode.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7433339
    Abstract: Equipment for transmitting a signal, the equipment comprising an antenna array (600-606) for providing three or more radiation antenna patterns. The equipment is arranged to transmit a primary common pilot signal with at most two radiation patterns and a secondary common pilot signal with at least one radiation pattern. The equipment comprises controllers (622a-622d) for adjusting the power ratio between the primary and the secondary common pilot signal and the total power of the primary and the secondary common pilot signals, and controllers (614a-614d) for adjusting the transmit power of the dedicated pilot signal, such that the power levels of the dedicated pilot signals transmitted with the same radiation patterns as the secondary common pilot signal are relatively higher than the power levels of the dedicated pilot signals transmitted with the same radiation patterns as the primary common pilots.

  • Patent number: 7395032
    Abstract: A method for transmitting from a multi-antenna station and a multi-antenna station is provided. The station is provided with a reference antenna and a diversity antenna. During the operation of the method, one of the antennae is selected to be stronger in the event of power unbalance between the diversity and reference antennae. Greater transmission power is assigned for the diversity antenna than the reference antenna when the diversity antenna is only phase adjusted. Greater transmission power is assigned for the reference antenna than the diversity antenna when the reference antenna is amplitude adjusted.
