  • Noise waveform generator with spectrum control
    Patent number: 7365577
    Abstract: A waveform generator for generating a desired waveform is provided, including a noise kernel configured to store a plurality of samples from a predetermined waveform, the plurality of samples being assigned to a plurality of memory blocks; and an address arrangement configured to randomly select a selected one of the plurality of memory blocks; wherein the noise kernel is configured to communicate the plurality of samples assigned to the selected memory block.
    Type: Grant

  • Radar system with improved brightness and resolution
    Patent number: 4107673
    Abstract: A radar system with improved display brightness in high ambient lighting conditions and with simplified deflection and video amplifiers. The incoming radar return signals are digitized and stored in shift registers with the timing to write the data into the shift registers dependent upon the radar range setting. After the digitized radar return signals have been read into the shift registers, they are read out to the display in a constant time period independent of the range setting. The radar system may be used at closer ranges than was previously possible.
