  • Patent number: 12211516
    Abstract: A method characterizes a noise event, and includes locating microphones in an environment and generating a training event at a location in the environment as a reference for a noise event. A sound sample is recorded at each microphone and phase differences between the sound samples are used to establish a noise event signature for an event at that location. A noise event may subsequently be identified by taking sound samples from the microphones associated with the noise event and using phase differences between them to identify the noise event by matching against noise event signatures.

  • Patent number: 12040920
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which compensates input data for I/Q imbalance or noise related thereto to generate compensated input data. In doing such the above compensation, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide converted input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN calculates an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate filter coefficient data associated with the I/Q imbalance. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the converted input data is transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path is deactivated and the receiver stage receives an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

  • Patent number: 11916704
    Abstract: Techniques are described for pre-equalization at the demodulator of a satellite receiver terminal to compensate for forward link distortions. Some satellite channel filters can manifest distortions, such as asymmetric group delay response. Such distortions can conventionally force restriction of symbol rate only to the portion of the channel bandwidth having a symmetric filter response. Embodiments include a pre-equalizer in the demodulation path that filters received downlink communications based on a set of pre-equalizer filter coefficients computed to at least partially compensate for the channel filter distortions. Some embodiments support updating the filter coefficients based on channel reassignments, and/or dynamically updating the filter coefficients based on detecting and exploiting pre-equalization frames. The pre-equalized sample stream can facilitate reliable decoding by the demodulator with an appreciably increased symbol rate and correspondingly increased forward link capacity.

  • Patent number: 11496341
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for I/Q imbalance or noise related thereto to generate compensated input data. In doing such the above compensation, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide converted input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate filter coefficient data associated with the I/Q imbalance. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the converted input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.
