Patent number: 4968138Abstract: A system for monitoring intensity before, during, and after holographic exposure includes a monitoring assembly within an exposure beam and intermediate a light source and a hologram recording assembly. With the monitoring assembly in the exposure beam, a monitoring beam is produced that is directed towards detection elements located outside of the exposure beam. At the same time, the monitoring assembly allows the exposure beam to pass therethrough and onto the hologram recording assembly. The monitoring assembly may include a reflection hologram with an effective shape which is different from the supporting substrate, or glass substrates with an internal reflecting surface. In either event, the exposure beam remains undistorted. The spatial arrangement among the light source, hologram recording assembly, and detection elements are such that a reflected beam from the hologram recording assembly is directed away from the detection elements to avoid incorrect intensity monitoring.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1988Date of Patent: November 6, 1990Assignee: Hughes Aircraft CompanyInventors: James E. Scott, John E. Wreede

Patent number: 4317120Abstract: An automatic radio direction finding system having inputs for a circular array with a plurality of directional antennas, each being switched in sequence producing a directional pattern in azimuth. The combined RF signal is carried through the receiver as a normal AM modulated signal and the intermediate frequency output of the receiver is detected and the added modulation is recovered, filtered, and accumulated in such a manner that random signals will cancel and any repetitive signals will increase in amplitude and be stored. The vector information of this stored modulation, when decoded with respect to the phase of the original modulation, contains the actual bearing information. The signal is then averaged over several cycles and displayed on a numerical readout in degrees azimuth. The averaging techniques are employed to eliminate jitter in the last digit.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1979Date of Patent: February 23, 1982Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Field Operations Bureau of the Federal Communications CommissionInventors: W. Ferrel Bentley, Arthur Luedtke, James E. Scott

Patent number: 4263597Abstract: An automatic radio direction finding (ADF) system having inputs for four quadrature antennas each having a cardioid pattern. Each input is amplitude modulated in quadrature and then combined in a hybrid circuit to produce a nondirectional pattern. The combined rf signal is carried through the receiver as a normal signal and the AM detected intermediate frequency of the receiver is fed to a processor. The sum quadrature modulation is recovered, filtered, and accumulated in such a manner that random signals will cancel and any repetitive signals at the modulation frequency will increase in amplitude and be stored. The vector information of this recovered modulation when decoded with respect to the phase of the original modulation, contains the actual bearing information. The signal is then averaged over several cycles and displayed in digital format in degrees of azimuth with respect to car heading. This averaging eliminates jitter in the last digit of the numerical readout.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1979Date of Patent: April 21, 1981Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by Field Operations Bureau of FCCInventors: Wm. F. Bentley, Arthur Luedtke, James E. Scott
