Patents by Inventor Oleguer Nogues-Correig

Oleguer Nogues-Correig 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: 11652266
    Abstract: A radio calibration system includes an FPGA that generates a calibration signal by a pseudo noise generator and mixes the calibration signal with a carrier generated by a carrier generator. The FPGA injects the calibration signal into an analog electronic device which couples the calibration signal into a receiver channel. The receiver channel measures calibration signal power, group delay, and phase, and performs calibration based on these measurements. A reference clock synchronizes the pseudo noise generator, the carrier generator and the receiver channel.

  • Patent number: 11585946
    Abstract: Certain implementations of the disclosed technology may include systems and methods for reducing noise in dual-frequency GNSS signal observation. The method can include: receiving, at a GNSS receiver, a first signal and a second signal. At least the second signal includes noise. The first signal is characterized by a first carrier frequency, and the second signal is characterized by a second carrier frequency. The method includes: down converting, sampling, cross-correlating, accumulating, determining ambiguous instantaneous phases, determining non-ambiguous instantaneous phases, producing normalized non-ambiguous instantaneous first phase samples, constructing a normalized first counter rotation phasor, generating a counter-rotated second observable, applying a low pass filter to remove noise; and outputting the filtered second observable.
