Latest Patents

Burkett is credited with 1 patent: “Power Delivery System and Method of Controlling the Power Delivery.” The invention describes a system with a power splitter, multiple power amplifier modules, a power combiner, and a gateway controller. Each amplifier module includes switching components, a variable attenuator, an RF power amplifier, and an alarm detector.

The gateway controller communicates with the amplifier modules and controls them according to sleep criteria. When the criteria are met, one or more modules can enter sleep mode; they return to active mode when the criteria are no longer met. This approach provides a way to manage amplifier operation within the power delivery system.
