Patent number: 11133854Abstract: Digital predistortion (DPD) arrangements that use coding to differentiate between contributions from individual power amplifiers (PAs) is disclosed. When used with a phased antenna array having N antenna elements and N corresponding PAs, the arrangements may sequentially apply N codes to input signals provided to N PAs. Each code is a vector having N elements, where each element corresponds to a different PA in that the element is a complex gain applied to an input signal for the PA. Together, the N codes may be arranged as N rows or N columns of a matrix P. The disclosed arrangements may generate N feedback signals by applying the matrix P to a signal generated by a probe antenna element sensing wireless RF signals transmitted by the N antenna elements, and to update DPD coefficients based on the N feedback signals. The N codes may be either orthogonal or non-orthogonal.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2020Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: ANALOG DEVICES INTERNATIONAL UNLIMITED COMPANYInventors: Patrick Pratt, Ahmed Hassan Abdelaziz Abdelrahman, John Oates, Bijan Knight Tehrani

Patent number: 11077626Abstract: A compression roller device includes markers on roller heads for pressure-rolling over a substrate to form visual indicia that the substrate has been properly pressure-rolled. In example embodiments, there are two roller heads that each have a set of markers and that are spaced-apart with a handle center-mounted between them. In this way, the roller heads have free/unobstructed outer/opposite edges so they can be positioned closely against an obstructing surface or element for rolling substrates in tight spots with limited clearance. Also, the recess defined between the inner/facing edges of the roller heads provides clearance for rolling over any protruding fasteners securing the substrate in place. Further, the spaced-apart marker sets provide for marking the visual indicia on both sides of a seam/joint between two adjacent panels in a panel-and-tape system to show that both longitudinal side portions of the tape have been pressure-rolled.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: HUBER ENGINEERED WOODS LLCInventors: Michael John Oates, Bradley Karel Halley, Joseph Pruitt, Reuben C. Rudisill, Blake Edward Gordon, Jose Manuel Gamboa Mata
