Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Ultra Wide Band Digital Pre-Distortion." This invention focuses on a digital pre-distortion system that inversely models a power amplifier to linearize the transmitter. The complexity of a narrowband signal assumption is unworkable for ultra-wide band applications. Masterson's approach utilizes a true wide band model, incorporating real-valued basis terms derived from real-valued signals. This model accounts for both even and odd harmonics, as well as negative frequency fold-over, and applies a Hilbert transform. Additionally, compressed sensing is employed to reduce the number of basis terms, generating a sparse model that enhances the stability of the digital pre-distortion system.
Another significant patent is the "Power Detector with Overdrive Detection." This invention aims to protect circuits, such as amplifiers, from transient and average overdrive events. It involves comparing average power, indicated by root mean squared (RMS) power of a radio frequency (RF) signal, to a first threshold, and peak RF power to a second threshold. Detection of either event allows for protective measures to be implemented, ensuring the integrity of the circuit.
