  • Method and apparatus for detecting and characterizing pulse sequences
    Patent number: 12196880
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting and characterizing a pulse sequence using a finite impulse filter to determine a pulse width (PW) of pulses within the pulse sequence. The method and apparatus may also apply a histogram to the filtered pulses to determine the pulse rate interval (PRI) of pulses in the pulse sequence.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 6, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 14, 2025
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventors: Kenneth I. Ranney, William J. Diehl, Kwok Foo Tom, Dannielle Tadas, Neal Tesny, Andre C. Magill

  • Method and apparatus for performing signal augmentation
    Patent number: 10911085
    Abstract: Apparatus for augmenting a received signal comprising a receiver configured to receive a signal, a digitizer configured to generate a digitized version of the received signal at two different times, and a signal processor, coupled to the digitizer, configured to determine a phase relationship between the digitized signals at the two different times, adjust a phase of at least one of the digitized signals based on the phase relationship to combine the two digitized signals to form an augmented signal.
