US Patent Issued to Rockwell Collins on June 23 for "Scalable method for digital beamforming without channel state information" (Iowa Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,665,655, issued on June 23, was assigned to Rockwell Collins Inc. (Cedar Rapids, Iowa).

"Scalable method for digital beamforming without channel state information" was invented by Benjamin Peiffer (Cedar Rapids, Iowa).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A scalable algorithm may be used for determining beam/nullforming weights with minimal computation and minimal coordination between elements or subarrays. The algorithm may beamform large numbers of elements without channel state information and without knowing the signal of interest. The algorithm may optimize the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of signals received at an array. The alg...
