Patents by Inventor Michael M. LoRé

Michael M. LoRé 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: 11658406
    Abstract: In examples, systems and methods for direction finding of electromagnetic signals are described. The device includes a first antenna configured to receive electromagnetic energy. The device also includes a second antenna configured to separately receive the same electromagnetic energy. The device further includes a radome located in a receiving pathway of the first antenna, where the radome is configured to cause a predetermined phase shift that varies based on an angular position of the receiving pathway. The device includes 1 or more radio receivers to receive the signals independently from the antennas. Additionally, the direction finding device includes a processor configured to determine an angle of arrival of the electromagnetic energy based on a comparison of a phase of the electromagnetic energy received by the first antenna to a phase of the electromagnetic energy received by the second antenna.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9972901
    Abstract: An antenna electromagnetic radiation steering system may include an antenna for emitting electromagnetic radiation, and a radome disposed adjacent to and at least partially enclosing the antenna, the radome including a window to pass electromagnetic radiation from the antenna to outside the radome, wherein electromagnetic radiation is directed based on a position of the window relative to the antenna.
