George Hrycenko 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).

  • Method and system of efficient spectrum utilization by communications satellites
    Patent number: 7376417
    Abstract: A satellite system includes a plurality of orbit slots having a first orbital and a second orbital slot. A first satellite occupies a first orbital slot and generates a first set of uniform beams. A second satellite located in a second orbital slot generates a second set of uniform beams. A tiling pattern on the face of the Earth has a plurality of cells, with each of the cells having a defined frequency for communication. The first set of beams and the second set of beams are generated according to parameters to avoid interference between them. The parameters may include satellite orbit separations, beam size, multiplicity of band reuse, and ground station received beamwidth.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2008
    Assignee: The DIRECTV Group, Inc.
    Inventors: Thomas M. Walsh, George Hrycenko, William J. Nunan, Adam Stone
