Patent number: 11381431Abstract: A receiver receives communications over a communication channel, which may distort an incoming communication signal. In order to counter this distortion, the frequency response of the receiver is manipulated by adjusting several frequency response parameters. Each frequency response parameter controls at least a portion of the frequency response of the receiver. The optimal values for the frequency response parameters are determined by modifying an initial set of values for the frequency response parameters through one or more of stochastic hill climbing operations until a performance metric associated with the receiver reaches a local maximum. The modified values are displaced through one or more mutation operations. The stochastic hill climbing operations may subsequently be performed on the mutated values to generate the final values for the frequency response parameters.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Vishnu Balan, Mohammad Mobin, Dai Dai, Raanan Ivry, Rohit Rathi

Patent number: 9250327Abstract: An adaptive method by which Differential GNSS corrections may be compressed. Each measurement datum to be transmitted to a rover for satellite navigation purposes is decomposed into two parts, namely, an anchor value and a delta value, and in some instances an added third part termed a nonce value is used. Encoding parameters such as the number of bits assigned to each part of the measurement datum, the order of the models used to convey positional data, and scaling constants in the models, are adjusted adaptively based on changing data and/or transmission medium characteristics. Adaptive compression also allows for anomalous conditions such as out-of-range data values to be handled gracefully.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: SubCarrier Systems CorporationInventors: David Charles Kelley, Gregory John Berchin

Patent number: 9166768Abstract: In order to reduce deterioration of reception performance even further in a case of simultaneously performing transmission and reception, a transmitting circuit (20), which forms a radio transceiver (1), outputs a transmission signal (110) to be wirelessly transmitted through an antenna (10). A duplexer (30) conducts the transmission signal (110) to the antenna (10), and outputs, as differential signals (102p and 102n), a reception signal wirelessly received through the antenna (10) to a receiving circuit (40). The receiving circuit (40) regulates phases of the differential signals (102p and 102n) based on a first characteristic of the reception signal under a condition that the transmission signal (110) is not output, and a second characteristic of the reception signal under a condition that the transmission signal (110) is output.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Yoshiaki Ando
