  • Patent number: 6564044
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5929811
    Abstract: Adaptive arrays with an automatic adaptive loop gain control to reduce the degradation in performance in reducing the effects of multipath and interference in communications receivers when the gain of any of the adaptive loops change with a change in the average level of any of the input signals of the adaptive array. As the input level of any of the input signals of the adaptive array changes, the associated adaptive loop gain control(s) reduces the change in the adaptive loop gain from the optimum gain value to improve adaptive array performance. When signal conditions and/or component configurations cause the levels of the input signals to be different from input to input of the adaptive array, the performance of the adaptive array is improved further by also equalizing the input signals.

  • Patent number: 5608409
    Abstract: Adaptive arrays with an adaptive loop gain control to reduce the degradation in performance in reducing the effects of multipath and interference in communications receivers when the gain of the adaptive loops change with a change in the input signal level of the adaptive array. As the input signal level to the adaptive array changes, the adaptive loop gain control reduces the change in the adaptive loop gain to improve adaptive array performance.
