  • Patent number: 11936114
    Abstract: Omni-directional orthogonally-polarized antenna system for MIMO applications are disclosed herein. An example antenna system can have two arrays of horizontally polarized radiating elements, and two arrays of vertically polarized radiating elements, each array having roughly 180-degree radiation pattern, disposed about a central axis in a common horizontal plane, arrays of common polarization separated by 180-degrees, such that MIMO processing of signals to the arrays of common polarization results in a radiation pattern that is substantially constant over 360-degrees in azimuth.

  • Patent number: 11508006
    Abstract: Systems and methods for digital property collateral protection are disclosed. For example, a pre-underwriting analysis may be performed to ascertain the quality of a given borrower and the intellectual property associated with the borrower. If the borrower passes the pre-underwriting analysis, an underwriting analysis including an intellectual property valuation may be performed. If the borrower passes the underwriting analysis and the terms of a loan and insurance policy are otherwise agreed upon, a lender may issue a loan to the borrower with the intellectual property as collateral, and an insurer may issue an insurance policy to the lender to insure against covered events.

  • Patent number: 10938110
    Abstract: Ellipticity reduction in circularly polarized array antennas is provided herein. An antenna array may include a processor that is configured to control a plurality of elements, each of the plurality of elements producing an elliptically polarized wave having an eccentricity value, the elliptically polarized wave traveling along a direction of propagation, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of elements are incrementally clocked around their direction of propagation, so that a combined output of the plurality of elements is substantially circularly polarized.

  • Patent number: 9998246
    Abstract: Simultaneous transmission on a shared channel by a plurality of collocated radios is provided herein. The two or more radios are collocated with one another and are communicating with two far radios over a pair of long range wireless links. The two or more radios are configured to transmit and receive in synchronization with one another on a same channel. An off-axis response for each of the two or more radios is reduced compared to their on-axis response for improved signal to noise ratio, and the on-axis response the two or more radios are substantially equal to one another.
