TechnoConcepts enables wireless devices to receive very weak radio signals

TechnoConcepts Inc., has filed a provisional patent application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for a proprietary innovation that dramatically reduces noise and distortion in high dynamic range RF amplifiers, enabling wireless devices to receive very weak radio signals.

"The Company continues to expand its existing patent portfolio covering direct conversion core technology, broadening the scope of our current patent protection. There are key patents that cover the receiver, transmitter and noise reduction comprised in the portfolio," said Antonio Turgeon, CEO and Chairman of TechnoConcepts. He added: "The Company believes that this new filing, based upon a combination of innovative ideas and processes, has the potential to give the Company an extremely broad basis of protection for direct conversion transceiver technology."

Ronald Hickling, CTO of TechnoConcepts, commented: "This is the first of a series of patents we expect to file on a number of key inventions for electronic circuits developed for our direct conversion RF/D receiver and D/RF transmitter chips."

This invention is part of TechnoConcepts' True Software Radio, a wireless transmitter/receiver-on-a-chip that operates continuously across different frequency bands, controlled entirely by software. With True Software Radio, the flexibility to communicate with and among incompatible cell phones, PDAs, laptop computers, and any other wireless device can be virtually limitless. True Software Radio can provide cost-effective interoperability, global roaming, and universal connectivity for wireless communications.
