Clint Howard Neuzil 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: 6539235
    Abstract: An off-channel leakage power monitor implemented in a transceiver (100) dynamically measures adjacent and alternate channel leakage power produced by nonlinearities in a transmitter (110) power amplifier (116). A main local oscillator (124), offset voltage-controlled oscillator (122), and second local oscillator (170) are adjusted to obtain on-channel power, adjacent channel power, and alternate channel power measurements using a measurement calculator (185) implemented in a digital signal processor (180) or as a gate array in a receiver (140). Once the off-channel leakage power measurements have been obtained, any number of techniques can be used to extract increased efficiency from the power amplifier (116) while maintaining acceptable linearity under changing operating conditions.
