| 20080143580 | JAMMER DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION Techniques for detecting and suppressing jammers are described. A receiver may perform post-FFT jammer detection and pre-FFT jammer suppression. The receiver may transform an input signal to obtain a frequency-domain signal and may detect for jammers in the input signal... | 06/19/2008 |
| 20070268174 | JAMMING SIGNAL DETECTOR The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for detecting and displaying the existence of a jamming signal. An antenna receives a signal on a predetermined frequency, and an amplifier receives and amplifies the signal from the antenna. A microprocessor de... | 11/22/2007 |
| 20070063886 | System and method for suppressing radio frequency transmissions A system and method for suppressing radio frequency (“RF”) transmissions includes a transmitter for transmitting electronic signals that suppresses (e.g., prevents, disrupts, jams, interferes with or otherwise disables) RF transmissions. Some embodiments of the inve... | 03/22/2007 |
| 20060164284 | Adaptive array An adaptive antenna array has array elements arranged in element rows and element columns and subarrays arranged in subarray rows and subarray columns, for which the subarray phase centers have non-uniform spacing. The adaptive antenna array provides good detection and ... | 07/27/2006 |
| 20060066471 | Robust and broadband signal processing using replica generation apparatus Embodiments of the present invention are low cost, robust, broadband, optimum, high precision methods and apparatus of processing pulsed, transient, non-cooperative, non-reproducible, complex, or simultaneous signals based on correlation measurements utilizing optical R... | 03/30/2006 |
