Patents by Inventor Richard F. Redhead

Richard F. Redhead 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: 11927678
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods provide anti-spoofing capability from a first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver to a second GNSS receiver. These GNSS receivers can be, for example, global positioning satellite (GPS) receivers. Via an authentication technique, signals from authentic GNSS sources are distinguished from signals from spoofers. Timing information, such as numerically-controlled oscillator (NCO) settings, used for tracking authenticated signals are then used to generate replica GNSS signals, which are then provided to the second GNSS receiver. As a result, the second GNSS receiver can provide accurate positioning system information in the presence of GNSS spoofers.

  • Patent number: 10921464
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods determine the rotational position of a spinning object. A satellite positioning system can be used to determine the spatial position of an object, which in turn can be used to guide the object. An adaptive sideband filter is used to provide increased robustness against interference. However, when the object is spinning, such as an artillery shell, then the rotational orientation should be known in order to properly actuate the control surfaces, such as fins, which will also be spinning.
