  • Patent number: 10284339
    Abstract: A receiver detects a plurality of information symbols. A first signal and a second signal are received from a first transmitted signal and a second transmitted signal, respectively, transmitted by a first plurality of antennas and received by a second plurality of antennas connected to the receiver. The second signal is received after the first signal. The receiver spatially filters the first signal using a spatial filter matrix. The receiver computes a conjugate of the first filtered signal to define a conjugate first signal, and spatially filters a second signal using the spatial filter matrix. The receiver computes a Hadamard product of the first filtered signal and the conjugate first signal to define a differential measurement signal. The receiver detects the plurality of information symbols from the differential measurement signal.

  • Patent number: 9843417
    Abstract: A method of estimating a spatial filter matrix is provided. A conjugate of a received first signal defines a conjugate first signal. A Kronecker product of the defined first signal and a received second signal define a differential measurement signal. The computations are repeated for a plurality of first and second signals sufficient to compute an estimate of a channel matrix from the differential measurement signals. A spatial filter matrix is computed from the computed estimate of the channel matrix. The computed spatial filter matrix is used in a data communication phase between the first plurality of antennas and the second plurality of antennas.

  • Patent number: 9444532
    Abstract: Beam measurement values are computed by transforming a signal to a beamspace representation using a beamforming matrix that includes a plurality of columns that define a plurality of beams. A second plurality of beams is selected from the plurality of beams based on a power captured by each beam derived from the computed beam measurement values. For each beam of the second plurality of beams as a first beam, a spatial phase shift component and a temporal delay component is computed based on the fixed spatial angle associated with the first beam and a carrier frequency, a filter is defined using the spatial phase shift component and the temporal delay component, a beam measurement value associated with the first beam from the computed beam measurement values is selected, and the defined filter is applied to the selected beam measurement value to define a filtered value.

  • Patent number: 4228964
    Abstract: A new and useful apparatus has been devised for grinding paper into cellulose fiber insulation in which a hammermill or rotary beater has a paper feed inlet which establishes a low pressure zone at the entrance to the hammermill housing whereby to encourage reverse flow of partially ground materials from the outer perimeter of the hammermill into the low pressure zone, the partially ground material tending to collect in the form of a vortex and to recombine with the main stream of material being supplied into the feed inlet. In this way any of the partially ground or shredded material not small enough to pass through a classification grid or screen at the discharge of the hammermill will continuously intermix with the main stream of material for continuous grinding to the desired size.
