  • Patent number: 12665605
    Abstract: A hybrid wideband/narrowband direct digital transceiver. In an example, the transceiver includes a first-stage downconverter configured to convert a radio frequency (RF) input analog signal to a first intermediate frequency (IF1) narrowband (NB) input analog signal; a second-stage downconverter configured to convert the IF1 NB input analog signal or a millimeter wave (mmW) input analog signal to a second intermediate frequency (IF2) NB input analog signal; one or more analog to digital converters (ADCs) configured to convert one or more of the IF1 NB input analog signal, the IF2 NB input analog signal, and the RF input analog signal to digital input signals; and a processor configured to control the first-stage downconverter to set a center frequency and bandwidth of the IF1 NB input analog signal and control the second-stage downconverter to set a center frequency and bandwidth of the IF2 NB input analog signal.

  • Patent number: 5255000
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the angles of arrival of a pair of transmission signals relative to a fixed antenna pair simultaneously receiving the transmission signals based upon the phase difference between antennas for each signal and the frequencies thereof includes components for separately squaring the signals received by each antenna, filtering each squared signal for separating a high frequency band and a middle frequency band, first phase correlating high frequency band signals filtered from each squared signal for producing a sum signal of the phase differences between the antennas for received transmission signals, second phase correlating middle frequency band signals filtered from each squared signal for producing a difference signal for the phase differences of the transmission signals received by the antenna pair, determining the phase differences of the transmission signals received by the antenna pair from the sum and difference signals therefor, providing delayed middle frequency ban

  • Patent number: 5168215
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the frequencies of a pair of signals simultaneously present in a composite signal, comprising the steps of includes components for squaring the composite signal, filtering the squared signal for separating a first pass band and a higher frequency second pass band, instantaneously measuring the frequencies of the first and second pass bands and determining the individual frequencies of the pair of signals from the measured frequencies of the first and second pass bands.
