  • Patent number: 11592514
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an amplitude goniometer comprises P receiver channels, P being greater than or equal to 2, each receiver channel being identified by an index p, each receiver channel comprising an antenna coupled to a receiver chain followed by at least two digital receiver modules each comprising an analogue-to-digital conversion module associated with a respective sampling frequency, each sampling frequency not complying with the Shannon criterion and not being a multiple of another frequency, N being the number of frequencies, N being greater than or equal to 2, each frequency being referenced by an index n, the amplitude goniometry estimator working from the amplitudes of the signals originating from at least Q adjacent receiver channels of the P receiver channels, Q being at most equal to P, the sampling frequencies being associated with the analogue-to-digital conversion modules of the Q adjacent receiver channels.

  • Publication number: 20080087801
    Abstract: Apparatus for processing an input signal comprises a first switching means and a second switching means, the first switching means comprises a first photoconductive switch and the second switching means comprises a second photoconductive switch, wherein the first switching means is switchable between an open state and a closed state in which it is adapted to pass the input signal to an output of the first switching means, the apparatus further comprises storage means connected to the output of the first switching means and to an output of the second switching means and adapted to store an output signal comprising the difference between a signal at the output of the first switching means when in its closed state and a signal at an output of the second switching means.
