  • Sub-filtering finite impulse response (FIR) filter for frequency search capability
    Patent number: 8615538
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to sub-filtering FIR (frequency impulse response) to provide the capabilities of an ambiguity function (i.e., search for a signal in time and frequency) without extensive computations. By minimizing the resources used for the signal search (increased efficiency), the size of the implementation of the ambiguity function in hardware, and thus its power consumption, can be reduced. Additionally, by making the frequency search more efficient, larger scale frequency searches are possible.

  • No-multiply finite impulse response (FIR) filter using phase additions
    Patent number: 8370413
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) no-multiply filter (NMF), which replaces complex multiplications with phase additions. At each tap in the FIR filter, only phases are accumulated and at the output the complex result is reconstructed in I/Q. Noise dither is relied upon to smooth the digitized phase resolution. The NMF is ideally suited to a matched filtering scenario for constant modulus signals.

  • System and method for geo-locating a receiver with reduced power consumption
    Patent number: 8009086
    Abstract: A system and process for the geo-location of an asset given no a priori knowledge regarding time and location of the asset with minimized power consumption is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the system is accurate to about 30 meters CEP (50% circular error probable) using just a short segment, e.g., 100-200 ms, of digitized GPS L1 signal data.
