Title: Roydn Jones: Innovator in Oscilloscope Technology
Introduction
Roydn Jones is a notable inventor based in Aloha, Oregon, recognized for his contributions to oscilloscope technology. With a total of 2 patents, he has made significant advancements in the field, particularly in the areas of signal detection and filtering.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an "Anti-aliasing filter circuit for oscilloscopes." This innovation involves a digital storage oscilloscope equipped with an anti-aliasing filter circuit that utilizes a first plurality of switchable analog filters. These filters bandwidth limit frequencies greater than half the oscilloscope's sampling frequency. Additionally, a digital transversal filter is effective at lower sweep rates and sampling rates, also bandwidth limiting frequencies greater than half the sampling frequency. The digital transversal filter can be controlled to provide different band pass characteristics for varying sweep and sample rates, with both the selection of filters and the control of the digital filter responsive to the oscilloscope's selection of sweep rate.
Another significant patent is the "Method for using a charge coupled device as a peak detector." In this invention, a charge coupled device (CCD) with separately addressable input signal gates is operated in the potential equilibrium mode. With properly selected voltage potentials, the CCD can function as a high-speed linear detector of a variable analog signal without the need for preceding independent sample and hold or peak detector circuits. This results in efficient minimum/maximum detection of an analog signal in a fast-in/slow-out digitizer.
