Tiaotiao Xie 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).

  • Publication number: 20210111691
    Abstract: A method for reducing a quantity of cable runs to antennas can include the step of providing a circuit of reactive elements coupled between an input terminal and at least two output terminals. The circuit can be used to separate a broadband signal into two or more disjoint expected frequency ranges. The circuit can match the impedance at the at least two output terminals to the impedance expected by the antennas. The elements of the circuit can have reactances and arrangement so that when a broadband RF signal is applied at the input terminal, two or more disjoint expected frequencies can be applied to the respective output terminals. The power at each output terminal can sufficiently match the antennas' expected power, and insertion losses can be minimized.
    Type: Application
