Latest Patents
One of Brent's latest patents is a passive tracking system and method. This invention discloses systems and methods for passively determining the location of a moveable transmitter. It utilizes a pair of phase shifts at a receiver to extract a direction vector from the receiver to the transmitter. In a preferred embodiment, a phase difference between the transmitter and receiver is extracted using a noncoherent demodulator in the receiver. The receiver is equipped with an antenna array consisting of three antenna elements, which are preferably patch antenna elements spaced apart by one-half wavelength. Three receiver channels are utilized for simultaneously processing the received signal from each of the three antenna elements. Multipath transmission paths for each of the three receiver channels are indexed, allowing for comparisons of the same multipath component across the channels. The phase difference for each received signal is determined by comparing only the magnitudes of received and stored modulation signals to identify a winning modulation symbol.
