  • Patent number: 10218490
    Abstract: A wideband simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) subsystem for a radar or other two-way system. The STAR subsystem includes a canceller circuit which digitally prepares a cancellation signal to cancel out leaked or reflected portions of the transmit signal and correlated noise in the receiver signal. The STAR subsystem also performs a final cancellation of temperature-dependent or “thermal” transmit-signal noise in the receiver signal. Together, the combined cancellation techniques prevent receiver saturation and preserve receiver sensitivity. The digital cancellation can be adapted in a closed-loop mode to adjust time delays and amplitudes of cancellation signal components. The cancellation system is run open loop in real time to minimize bandwidth limitations and achieve wideband performance. The STAR subsystem can be implemented with discrete components, as a system-on-chip, or as any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 8301219
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for monitoring patient physiological data without the need for adhesives or wires to be connected to a patient. The system is also fully functional without the need for manipulation or intervention by a care provider or medical personnel. In particular, the system can include a pad having a plurality of electrical contacts or electrodes formed thereon in a predetermined pattern. The electrodes can be configured to sense electrical signals produced by a patient's body. A controller in communication with the electrodes can be configured to select and process signals from the electrodes and send the information derived from the electrical signals to an output device for displaying resulting physiological data so that the patient can be monitored.
