ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,381,589, issued on Aug. 5, was assigned to TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY (Beijing).

"Single-sideband phase-sensitive detection method and system" was invented by Xingwei Guo (Shenzhen, China) and Shixue Zhang (Beijing).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A single-sideband phase-sensitive detection method is provided. A time-dependent target signal of a to-be-detected system is repeatedly triggered. A plurality of modulation signal sets varying in modulation phase corresponding to a plurality of triggering moments are generated. The time-dependent target signal is modulated based on the plurality of modulation signal sets corresponding to each of the trig...
