US Patent Issued to Mano D. Judd on Oct. 7 for "Forward error correction" (Texas Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,438,580, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to Mano D. Judd (Heath, Texas).

"Forward error correction" was invented by Mano D. Judd (Heath, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique completely estimates the total Far Field Transmit Radiation Path, time delays, as well as amplitude values and variations for the full path between the RF exciters and antennas, in an RF Phased Array System. These paths are normally unknown and therefore difficult to calibrate or estimate. The technique also corrects for phase and amplitude differences and variations in non-equal length RF cables, thus removing the requireme...
