Jonathan P. Hull has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Annular composite capacitor/inductor with a switch across the gap
    Patent number: 6469596
    Abstract: A composite capacitor/inductor assembly has been developed that merges the capacitance utilized for energy storage into the inductor, creating a consolidated electrical component. The composite capacitor/inductor is capable of functioning in those applications requiring resonant circuits for frequencies in excess of 100 MHz. The composite nature of the device reduces by one-half the number of components required to produce a resonant circuit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: October 22, 2002
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force
    Inventors: Jonathan P. Hull, David W. Scholfield

  • Power enhancer for solid state switched ultrawideband pulsers and array transmitters
    Patent number: 6061034
    Abstract: A means is disclosed for increasing the power and field strength radiated by a solid state switched array radiator such as those used for example in ultrawideband radar systems. The incorporation of a specially designed pulsed transmission line is designed to preserve very fast rising pulses produced in each of a number of Blumleins that are triggered simultaneously or with appropriate delay to provide at the output of the stack of Blumleins a voltage that is applied to an antenna radiating element.
