Patents by Inventor Kalle Kivekas

Kalle Kivekas 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).

  • Patent number: 7848741
    Abstract: One or more electromagnetic energy measurements are generated. Each of these measurements corresponds to an available communications bandwidth for a communications device and indicates a frequency of a radio frequency (RF) signal source. From these measurement(s), one or more interference sources are identified. These measurements may include a series of electromagnetic energy measurements over a predetermined time period. An interference source may be identified when each measurement in the series of electromagnetic energy measurements indicates an RF energy source at the same frequency. Each of these measurements may be stored. In addition, statistics regarding these measurements may be generated.

  • Patent number: 7689194
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a balanced circuit arrangement and methods for linearizing and calibrating such a circuit arrangement, wherein linearization is obtained by introducing a load imbalance between the output branches of the balanced circuit arrangement. Thus, a controllable extraneous imbalance is created between the output loads of the balanced circuit arrangement to thereby obtain a linearization by means of even-order non-linearity.

  • Publication number: 20030003891
    Abstract: The invention relates to a quadrature demodulating radio receiver and to a method for reducing an imbalance in gain between an in-phase channel and a quadrature channel of such a radio receiver. Received radio frequency signals are downconverted to in-phase and quadrature-phase signals, either to a baseband or a certain IF frequency. In order to improve the performance of the channels, it is proposed that imbalances in gain or amplitude between the two channels are compensated in the analog domain. This is achieved by employing in at least one of the channels amplifying means with an adjustable gain for amplifying received signals in the analog domain, the adjustable gain being controlled according to a detected imbalance in gain. The invention moreover relates to an equivalently designed radio transmitter and a corresponding method.
