  • Patent number: 9103862
    Abstract: A method for generating and checking a spatio-temporal field distribution having predefined characteristics such as one or more directions of propagation, a high level of field intensity and a polarization in a reverberant chamber. To do this, two separate networks of transducers are provided so as to estimate a transfer function between these two networks and to determine excitation signals using the principle of temporal return. The excitation signals are used to generate the spatio-temporal field according to the predefined characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20150149108
    Abstract: A method is provided for generation of statistically uniform field distribution inside a test volume of a reverberation chamber. The method includes: generating complex independent and identically distributed random signals x, filtering signals x through a passage matrix P according to a linear transformation in order to determine correlated excitation signals “a” by “a”=Px, P being a passage matrix determined from H a complex transfer function H between the test volume and the antennas; and P is constructed such that E=HPx where E is independent and identically distributed, and generating the field E by applying simultaneously correlated excitation signals “a” to several antennas of the reverberation chamber.

  • Patent number: 7957899
    Abstract: A method is provided for determining the attitude, position, and velocity of a mobile device from knowledge of the direction of the earth's magnetic field in an absolute reference frame. Signals are supplied to a processing means for the signals by gyroscopic measuring means in three axes, accelerometric measuring means in three axes, and magnetic measuring means in three axes, where the measuring means are located on-board the device and according to three three-dimensional reference frames connected to the device reference frame.
