Patent 7606524 was granted and assigned to Rockwell Collins on October, 2009 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The present invention is an integrated monitoring and communication receiver architecture. A staring receiver in accordance with the present invention may include a RF front end and a memory for storage of channel samples. The staring receiver may be capable of staring across an entire hopped communications bandwidth and storing a time-duration of channel samples within the memory to enhance acquisition and demodulation processing. The staring receiver may provide simultaneous visibility and reception of multiple signals with different time and frequency hopping patterns. Additionally, the staring receiver may be capable of spoofing whereby false cross correlations are presented to thwart geographically diverse intercept receivers.
