Patents by Inventor Steve Henry Arneson

Steve Henry Arneson 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: 8139680
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a receiver includes an antenna configured to receive a communication frame. The communication frame may include an acquisition code symbol sequence, which in turn may include a plurality of acquisition code symbols. In an embodiment, an acquisition code symbol includes a subcode sequence having a plurality of subcodes. A receiver also may include a correlation calculator coupled to the antenna. The correlation calculator may be configured to determine a correlation between the subcodes of the received communication frame and a stored version of the subcodes. The correlation may be used in determining a timing offset for further processing of the communication frame.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7907679
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods and apparatus for verifying the detection of a correlation peak, which may represent an acquisition of a received acquisition code symbol sequence. The method includes determining a series of coherently-aligned peaks from a series of correlation peaks. Determining the plurality of coherently-aligned peaks includes correcting a frequency offset and a phase offset for each of the plurality of correlation peaks. A coherent match filter process is performed on the plurality of coherently-aligned peaks. A detection of the correlation peak may be verified when the match filter result exceeds a threshold.
