Title: A Radio frequency mixer implemented with a photonic circuit
Inventor: IAN FLINT
IPC: H04B10/2575
Filed: 2020-01-15
Abstract: A common method of down-converting a received RF signal is by mixing the received RF signal with a local oscillator (LO) signal to create a beat signal. It is common for multiple simultaneously received RF signals to beat within receiver electronics. These beats can occur at frequencies similar to that of the purposely down-converted signals and thus it can be difficult to distinguish between the two. This problem is acute in electronic warfare (EW) receivers which need to receive signals across a very wide band. The present invention overcomes this problem by providing an RF mixer implemented using a photonic circuit. The circuit is arranged to impose the RF signal and the LO signal onto separate optical beams I & II, fig.1, and through an arrangement of splitting and combining beams to provide a beam carrying the RF signal to a first optical input of a balanced photodiode receiver 14 and another beam carrying the RF and LO signals to a second optical input of the balanced photodiode receiver. Any beat products formed between different RF signals will be present at both optical inputs of the balanced photodiode receiver 14 and will be cancelled out at its electrical output.

Title: Bit transition enhanced direct positioin estimation in global satellite system positioning
Inventor: Miguel A Ribot
IPC: G01S19/42
Filed: 2022-02-03
Abstract: A method for direct position estimation (DPE) of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal comprises receiving GNSS signals from a plurality of different satellites in a satellite constellation. A primary and secondary code are extracted from the signals and a plurality of bit transitions are identified in each of the primary and secondary codes. An alignment 150 of the bit transitions of each of the primary and secondary codes is determined, and a coarse position determined for the primary code is modified with the determined alignment of one of the bit transitions. Alignment determination may involve generating a set of augmented cross-ambiguity functions for each of the signals in correlation with a local code of the GNSS receiver. Each of the functions can be processed by DPE accounting not only for position, time and velocity (PVT), but also to determine the bit transitions such that extended integration times are enabled.
