  • Radio frequency digital receiver system and method
    Patent number: 9374246
    Abstract: A radio frequency digital receiver system and method is described in which the radio frequency digital receiver system uses a discrete Fourier transform where detection decisions are made based on a spectral estimate. The spectral estimate is formed from an output of the, in which the spectral estimate is improved by enabling spatially variant apodization (SVA) such that the detection ability of the RF digital receiver is improved. In a further embodiment, the SVA is optimized for use with Digital Signal Processing.
    Type: Grant
