Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a secure, modular business-specific hardware application, including: a step of selecting: a hardware computer integrated into a closed case that isolates it from the outside so as to make the hardware resources of this hardware computer structurally non-expandable because these resources cannot be accessed from outside the case without damaging them, an operating system for managing containers in a generic, lightweight fashion, associated with the computer, a software development kit, associated with the operating system and with the computer, container templates, business-specific software components, a step of deploying the business-specific software components in instantiated containers based on the container templates.

Abstract: A true time delay beamforming system and calibration method for transmission and reception of a beam is disclosed. The true time delay beamforming system comprises at least one input signal received by at least one signal conditioning device, wherein the signal conditioning device is adapted to provide selective, independent, and variable control of one of a phase delay, a time delay and an amplitude of the input signal to produce an output signal. A control logic device is adapted to provide a control logic signal to the at least one signal conditioning device for selectively activating and controlling the signal conditioning device. The true time delay beamforming system may further include an automatic calibration system that generates an error correction signal based on errors detected in the output signal, and selectively adjusts the control logic signal based thereon.

Abstract: Systems and methods for achieving linear amplification with high efficiency are provided. An input signal is amplified using a plurality of amplifiers by dividing the input signal into a plurality of inputs signals, amplifying the plurality of input signals with the plurality of amplifiers and combining the amplified output signals of the plurality of amplifiers into a single amplified output signal. Coefficients are applied to the input signals and the amplified output signals of the amplifiers so that non-linear products due to the amplifiers are suppressed when the amplified output signals of the amplifiers are combined into the single amplified output signal. The suppression of the non-linear products allows an amplification system to achieve linear amplification using high efficiency non-linear amplifiers. The systems and methods can also be applied to other non-linear devices, for example, mixers and modulators, to suppress non-linear products in these devices.
