Robert Lloyd Robinett 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: 9425753
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are related to a low-noise amplifier (LNA) matching device. A device may include an antenna for receiving a wireless signal and at least one LNA. The device may further include an LNA matching device coupled between the antenna and the at least one LNA and configured to receive one or more control signals to provide an optimal LNA match setting for each band of a plurality of frequency bands.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140376428
    Abstract: Techniques for supporting multi-frequency range signal processing for a wireless device. In an aspect, a first antenna is provided to support first and third frequency ranges. A second antenna is separately provided to support a second frequency range, wherein the second is between the first and third frequency ranges. In other aspects, the second antenna can further support a fourth frequency range higher than the third frequency range. Other frequency range combinations, dual antenna aspects, and carrier aggregation features are further disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 7643848
    Abstract: A transceiver system includes a first section coupled to a first antenna, a second section coupled to a second antenna, and a radio frequency (RF) unit. The first section includes a transmit path and a first receive path for a first (e.g., GSM) wireless system, a transmit path and a first receive path for a second (e.g., CDMA) wireless system, and a transmit/receive (T/R) switch that couples the signal paths to the first antenna. The second section includes a second receive path for the first wireless system and a second receive path for the second wireless system. The first and second receive paths for the first wireless system are for two frequency bands. The first and second receive paths for the second wireless system are for a single frequency band and provide receive diversity. The transceiver system may include a GPS receive path coupled to a third antenna.
