US Patent Issued to Rockwell Collins on Jan. 27 for "System architecture and method for dynamically optimized impedance matching for antenna feeds" (Iowa Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,537,301, issued on Jan. 27, was assigned to Rockwell Collins Inc. (Cedar Rapids, Iowa).

"System architecture and method for dynamically optimized impedance matching for antenna feeds" was invented by Orion D. Davies (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) and Alexander B. Kozyrev (Iowa City, Iowa).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A communication system applies impedance matching to an antenna specific to individual samples of a transmit signal. The system samples a signal and identifies the peak frequency content of each sample. Based on the peak frequency content, the system identifies an impedance match for a given antenna that provides the greatest energy ...
