ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,738,646, issued on Sept. 15, was assigned to Oso Semiconductor Inc. (San Bruno, Calif.).

"Transformer-based balanced-impedance phase shifters for beamforming" was invented by Matthew Anderson (San Bruno, Calif.) and Greg LaCaille (San Bruno, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A balanced impedance phase shifter (BIPS) beamforming system with reduced RF loss and power consumption is provided. The system includes multiple beamforming ports, multiple phase shifters, and a summing node at which the multiple phase shifters are connected in series. Each phase shifter includes a programmable admittance controlling phase shifting at a respect...
