Patent number: 9912361Abstract: The present invention reduces the degradation in performance of one or more radio signals that are co-transmitted with a first radio signal from the same transmitting antenna in the same frequency channel and received by the same antenna due to multipath or other shared interference, where the one or more radio signals can be separated from the first radio signal. All received signals are coupled to the same adaptive array or adaptive filter to reduce multipath or other shared interference of the first radio signal, which reduces multipath and other shared interference in the other radio signals before they are separated and processed by their respective receivers, or the individual radio signals are separated before the first signal enters the adaptive array and coupled to a slave weighting network slaved to the weights of the adaptive array of the first signal to reduce interference in all the signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2017Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Inventor: Kenneth F.

Patent number: 7881670Abstract: In one-tuner smart antennas, a constant amplitude representation of the antenna element wideband signal is correlated with a representation of the smart antenna output signal to give a measure of the selected channel bandpass power and desired signal power. Since only signals in the selected channel bandpass of the wideband antenna signals can be correlated with signals in the selected channel, the correlator allows only the selected channel bandpass components of the wideband antenna input signal to contribute to the correlator output. This eliminates the influence of adjacent channels/bands signals and prevents capture by strong adjacent signals. As the smart antenna adapts and reduces the selected channel bandpass interference, the measure becomes that of the desired signal power. The present invention reduces the distortion and capture of the antenna branch amplitude limiter for the weight calculation, power detection of the input power and AGC of an antenna element.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2009Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Inventor: Kenneth F.

Patent number: 6628969Abstract: The present invention reduces the number of tuners required by an adaptive array that reduces interference in the selected channel of the received desired signal with signals present outside the selected channel bandpass, where the adaptive array includes antennas for generating wideband input signals, weights for generating weighted wideband input signals, adder to sum the weighted wideband input signals, bandpass filter to remove signals from the adder output signal outside the bandpass of the selected channel, feedback function to generate the feedback signal from the bandpass filter output signal, a weight calculator for each weight which includes correlating the wideband signal coupled from the antenna with the feedback signal to generate the weight value. The bandpass filter removes the signals outside the selected channel bandpass, and the weights adapt to reduce interference in the selected channel bandpass.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2000Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Inventor: Kenneth F.
