Patents by Inventor Kyle D. Holzer

Kyle D. Holzer 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: 10236839
    Abstract: Spatially combining signals may include receiving a number of RF input signals at a number of RF input connectors. At least one of the RF input signals is a variable envelope signal. A variable envelope signal is converted into two or more outphased constant envelope signals. The two or more outphased constant envelope signals are amplified. The amplified outphased constant envelope signals are radiated. At a spatial combiner aperture, the radiated amplified outphased constant envelope signals are combined to create a combined signal. The combined signal is output onto an output RF connector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 19, 2019

  • Patent number: 9294143
    Abstract: A circuit card can include a circulator for routing a signal from a first amplifier to an antenna and for routing a signal from the antenna to a second amplifier, replacing a traditional transfer switch. The circulator can be a surface mount element to enable the circulator, first amplifier, and second amplifier to be mounted on the same circuit card thereby minimizing the size of a transceiver that employs the circuit card. Multiple circulators can be included on the same circuit card to allow for multi-band operation.

  • Patent number: 9118368
    Abstract: A signal coupler can couple a processed version of an outgoing signal from a transmission path to a receive path in a transceiver. A connector can provide the processed version of the outgoing signal to a pre-distortion module, which can generate a pre-distortion signal to pre-compensate outgoing signals in the transmission path of the transceiver. A receive path of a transceiver can thus be utilized as a feedback path to a pre-distortion module.
