  • Method using time to digital converter for direct measurement of set pulse widths
    Patent number: 8447548
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for a method for identifying and measuring a signal pulse induced in a microcircuit due to ionizing radiation. The method comprises locating an ionizing radiation induced pulse across a microcircuit using a plurality of sensors on the microcircuit. The method further comprises radiating a radiation through the microcircuit to produce a pulse width. The method further comprises using a time to digital converter (TDC) to measure a duration of the pulse width to create a measured pulse width. The method further comprises using the TDC to convert the measured pulse width into a digital signal.

  • Switching mode power amplifier having increased power efficiency
    Patent number: 7205835
    Abstract: An increased power efficient switching mode power amplifier system. The system includes a SMPA and an E/S reactive component. The SMPA includes a transistor, an RF choke and a tank circuit. The transistor has an emitter/source and is capable of receiving an input signal. The RF choke is operatively coupled to the transistor. The tank circuit is operatively coupled to the RF choke and the transistor. The E/S reactive component is operatively coupled to the emitter/source of the transistor of the SMPA. The E/S reactive component has a desired E/S degeneration reactive component value. A method for an increased power efficient switching mode power amplifier system is also described.
