Introduction
Peter Hoher is an accomplished inventor based in Seefeld, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of digital signal processing, holding two patents that showcase his innovative approach to technology. His work has had a profound impact on the development of digital radio receivers and algorithms used in telecommunications.
Latest Patents
One of Peter Hoher's latest patents is a digital radio receiver with a program-controlled mixing oscillator. This novel receiver is designed for subcarriers in a radio broadcasting system, where the characteristic frequency of the mixing oscillator is varied under program control. The incoming signal from the antenna passes through an input stage to a mixing stage, which receives the output of an oscillator. The output then goes into an intermediate frequency filter stage, which includes A/D converters and demultiplexers. This system enhances digital signal transmission by compensating for poor transmission conditions that could lead to significant dropouts in the digital signal.
Another notable patent is a method for generalizing the Viterbi algorithm. This method involves calculating difference costs from two arriving paths for each individual state, with the reliability information at the beginning of each path set to the highest value. The reliability value of the path with the least costs is updated at points where the information differs from the competing path. This innovative approach allows for the creation of a Viterbi algorithm that outputs analog value decisions, providing soft
