Patents by Inventor Bruno Paille

Bruno Paille 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).

  • Electronic component with integrated tuning device, allowing the decoding of digital terrestrial or cable television signals
    Publication number: 20040259512
    Abstract: An integrated superheterodyne dual-conversion tuner upconverts a signal so as to place it outside a reception band, and then downconverts the signal with a non-zero intermediate frequency. A first filter of the bulk acoustic wave type is positioned between the up and down conversion and is calibrated in such a way as to accurately determine its central frequency. A second filter of a microelectromechanical type receives the downconverted signal and is calibrated in such a way as to accurately determine its central frequency.
    Type: Application

  • Electronic component allowing the decoding of digital terrestrial or cable television signals
    Publication number: 20040252245
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a dual-conversion tuner, firstly upconverting so as to place a signal outside the reception band, then downconverting with zero intermediate frequency. A bulk acoustic wave type filter is calibrated in such a way as to accurately determine its central frequency. This filter is positioned between the two frequency transposition stages of the tuner. After baseband filtering, the signals are digitized then processed in a digital block BNM which includes a channel decoding module.
