Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to provide accurate water saturation and/or formation porosity measurements in the presence of unknown or highly variable salinity levels. A logging tool assembly includes a neutron porosity tool augmented with a gamma ray detector configured to measure the rate at which hydrogen nuclei capture neutrons from a neutron source. A processing system is configured to: determine a neutron porosity based on a measurement of neutron flux at a distance from a neutron source; combine the neutron porosity with a density-based porosity estimate to obtain a formation porosity; estimate salt concentration based on the formation porosity and a ratio between said measurement of neutron flux and said measurement of the hydrogen capture rate; correct the formation porosity based on the estimated salt concentration and provide a log of the resulting salt-compensated porosity. The logging tool assembly can also include a density logging tool and a natural gamma ray logging tool to provide a salt independent triple-combo log.

Title: Applying an adaptive delay in an envelope tracking transmitter to reduce distortion
Inventor: NENTWIG MARKUS
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2012-10-16
Abstract: The invention concerns transmitters in which a power amplifier 116 receives an input from a signal branch 112 and an input from an envelope branch 114, e.g. envelope tracking transmitters. Any relative delay between the envelope and signal branches can result in distortion (920, 930, Fig. 2) of the frequency spectrum outside of the transmit band. The distribution of the distortion across the frequency spectrum varies depending on the relative delay (aka differential delay). According to the invention, a determination is made of which frequency span is of particular interest, and a differential delay is adjusted (at 114a or 112a) on the basis of the thus determined target frequency span. The delay may be selected from a plurality of predetermined delays. Alternatively, the delay may be adapted based on an interference, signal strength or power measurement in the target frequency span. In a transceiver implementation, the invention may be applied to mitigate transmit leakage into a receiver.

Title: Circuits and devices related to fast turn-on of radio-frequency amplifiers
Inventor: LAM LUI
IPC: H03F3/24
Filed: 2015-07-13
Abstract: Fast turn-on radio frequency (RF) amplifiers are disclosed. An RF amplifier system includes an amplification path comprising a switch FET 104 and an amplifier FET 102. To enable the amplification path, the switch 104 and the amplifier 102 may be turned on by signals 130 and 134, respectively. To reduce the insertion loss of the switch 104, a negative bias signal 132 may be applied to the channel of the FET 104. The negative-going edge of this signal may propagate through the dc blocking capacitor C2, undesirably slowing the turn-on time (140, fig.6) of the amplifier. The invention compensates for this effect by passing the positive-going edge of a compensating signal 152 through a capacitor C3, thus speeding up the rise time 160 of the amplifier. The invention thus compensates for a slow turn-on of the amplifier resulting from a signal applied to the switch, and provides good switch performance and fast amplifier turn-on. These characteristics are desirable in wireless LAN (WLAN) applications.
