Bus voltage control using gated fixed energy pulses

Voltage on a DC power bus is controlled using gated fixed energy pulses. The power bus includes a bus capacitor for storing charge and can have a varying load. A battery is provided for providing electrical power to the bus through a power boost circuit including a boost switch for selectively applying a pulse of a fixed amount of energy to the bus in response to comparison of the bus voltage and a first reference voltage. The power boost circuit can include a choke coil and a timer for establishing an on time and an off time for each pulse, the on time establishing the amount of energy to be delivered to the bus, and the off time allowing the energy to be delivered to the load. A shunt path including a shunt switch can be provided for shunting energy from the bus when the bus voltage reaches a second reference voltage higher than the first reference voltage. In a preferred embodiment, the shunt path shunts energy to the battery for recharging the battery.

Signal processing method and apparatus for computing an optimal weight vector of an adaptive antenna array system

This invention relates to a signal processing method and apparatus for an adaptive array antenna. The objective is to suggest an adaptive procedure of computing the suboptimal weight vector for an array antenna system that provides a beampattern having its maximum gain along the direction of the mobile target signal source in a blind signal environment, where the transmitted data are not known (or not to be estimated) at the receiver. It is the ultimate goal of this invention to suggest a practical way of enhancing both the communication quality and communication capacity through the optimal weight vector of the array system that maximizes SINR(Signal to Interference+Noise Ratio). In order to achieve this goal, the method of Lagrange multiplier is modified in such a way that the suboptimal weight vector is produced with the computational load of about O(8N), which has been found to be small enough for the real-time processing of signals in most land mobile communications with the digital signal processor (DSP) off the shelf, where N denotes the number of antenna elements of the array.

Code, signal and conjugate direction design for rapidly-adaptive communication receivers and electromagnetic, acoustic and nuclear array processors

InactiveUS20070036202A1Simple processGood transmission signalTransmissionSonificationNon orthogonal
A system and method are disclosed that substantially reduce the complexity of receivers in digitally modulated wireless communication systems such as systems that use CDMA and similar multi-access coding. Transmitted signals are designed to use orthogonal or non-orthogonal codes with specific amplitudes that reduce the number of distinct eigenvalues in a code correlation matrix or in a code-plus-interference-plus-noise correlation matrix, so that a few steps of a conjugate direction calculation will compute a reduced rank Wiener filter that can be used to provide approximate de-correlation type receivers in a substantially reduced number of steps when compared to inverse correlation matrix calculations, or when compared to conjugate direction computations run on correlation matrices with un-shaped eigenvalues. These techniques can also be applied to active or passive imaging systems such as sonar, ultrasound and radar imaging systems and phased array systems that use beam forming. Cancellation of interference and noise can also be accomplished by exploiting eigenvalue shape or by designing the codes and amplitudes of the transmitted signal and using the reduced rank Wiener filter to filter interference and noise from the receive signal. The techniques enable the use of code design and power control for the control of system complexity and bandwidth.
