Title: Innovations by Robert C. Melville

Introduction

Robert C. Melville is a notable inventor based in New Providence, NJ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work primarily focuses on advancements in signal generation and non-linear analysis of circuits.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for an "Injection locked multi-phase signal generator." This invention generates two or more equal amplitude periodic output signals that are mutually shifted in phase by an integer fraction of 360 degrees, such as 90 degrees. The technology involves injection locking a ring type oscillator circuit arrangement with a periodic low phase noise signal source. A first ring oscillator is injection locked by a low phase noise signal source, which meets the GSM radio standard of at least -132 dBc/Hz at a 3 MHz offset. An identical second ring oscillator is then driven with the output of the first ring oscillator.

Another significant patent is for "Low-displacement rank preconditioners for simplified non-linear analysis of circuits and other devices." This invention provides methods and apparatus for performing non-linear analysis using preconditioners to reduce the computation and storage requirements associated with processing a system of equations. The technology involves generating a Jacobian matrix representative of the system of equations and applying a low displacement rank preconditioner to facilitate a preconditioned linear system.
