Robert P. Borofka 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).

  • Compressive receiver having a plurality of RF inputs
    Patent number: 5394153
    Abstract: A compressive receiver of the type having a dispersive delay line is provided by an additional mixer which is responsive to the compressive receiver's local. oscillator and to an additional RF input. The output of the additional mixer is delayed and applied to the input of the dispersive delay line. The output of the dispersive delay line is divided, one of the divided outputs being delayed. The delayed output and the other dividend output are compared in a comparison circuit. The compressive receiver may be advantageously used as a direction finding or side lode cancelling compressive receiver.

  • Swept oscillator automatic linearizer
    Patent number: 4038612
    Abstract: A device for generating a repetitive, highly-linear, frequency ramp. A voltage controlled oscillator responds to a ramp generator to produce the desired frequency modulation, and means are included for modifying the ramp amplitude vs. time shape as a function of the variation of instantaneous values of the frequency ramp from the linearized ideal.
