ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,732,236, issued on Sept. 8, was assigned to Oso Semiconductor Inc. (San Bruno, Calif.).

"Large phased arrays using balance-impedance phase shifters" 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) beamformer design that can be scaled to realize large phased arrays (e.g., arrays with element counts greater than four) while minimizing power consumption and cost is provided. The beamformer design includes multiple beamforming ports, a summation port, a first set of two or more of BIPS beamforming circuits receiving port signals...
