Title: The Innovations of Carl Gerst
Introduction
Carl Gerst is an accomplished inventor based in Skaneateles, NY (US). He holds a total of 4 patents that showcase his expertise in the field of technology and engineering. His innovative contributions have made significant impacts in various applications.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is the "Wideband balun using re-entrant coupled lines and ferrite material." This invention features a Guanella type balun with a conductive enclosure, such as a re-entrant box, positioned between its coupled lines and the magnetic material that surrounds them. Some embodiments utilize coupled strip lines, and dielectric materials, like printed circuit board material, are incorporated inside the re-entrant box along with the coupled strip lines. The preferred magnetic material for this invention is ferrimagnetic, with some optimal materials being non-conductive.
Another notable patent is the "Doppler triangulation transmitter location system." This system is designed to locate the position of a transmitter by moving a platform containing an antenna through a measurement path. The frequency received by the antenna is measured at various points along this path. The frequency is determined by cross-correlating coherent pulses of the received frequency signal. An inertial navigation system on the platform indicates the position of the measurement path. A computer then calculates estimated locations using non-linear least squares convergence, starting from trial locations. The best solution is selected based on the lowest cost function derived from the frequency equation.
