Abstract: Polarimetric transceiver front-ends and polarimetric phased array transceivers include two receive paths configured to receive signals from an antenna, each including a respective variable phase shifter. A first transmit path is connected to the variable phase shifter of one of the two receive paths and is configured to send signals to the antenna. A transmit/receive switch is configured to select between the first transmit path and the two receive paths for signals. The transmit/receive switch has an element that adds a high impedance to the transmit path when the transmit/receive switch is in a receiving state.

Abstract: Generating an environment information map from a wireless communication system having directional communication capabilities. A plurality of features are extracted and logged resultant from a communication link attempt at multiple beam directions and training at least one machine learning model based on the plurality of extracted features from the first beam direction and the at least one additional beam directions to infer an environment information map of the area between the first transmitter and the receiver.

Abstract: While a radar waveform generator coupled to a phased antenna array is inactive, a beam steering command is provided to the phased antenna array to cause the phased antenna array be configured for a given transmit and receive direction. While the radar waveform generator is active, received radar results are assigned to the given transmit and receive direction. the providing of the command and the assigning are repeated for a plurality of additional transmit and receive directions corresponding to a desired scan area.

Abstract: An antenna that can be embedded in a computer system or device is described. In an example, the antenna includes a feed operable to transmit and receive power. The antenna includes a first arm being extended from the feed towards a first direction to form a first partial loop. The antenna further includes a second arm being extended from the feed towards a second direction to form a second partial loop. The second direction is different from the first direction.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) system. An RFID tag may include multiple antennas connected with associated circuitry. An RFID tag's multiple antennas and associated circuitry are connected in parallel, and output power of the multiple associated circuitry can be combined. Each of the multiple antennas can be tuned for a different operating property or region. An RFID reader can include multiple antennas connected with associated circuitry. RFID reader's multiple antenna interfaces connect with a baseband processor, which can integrate resources of the reader's multiple antennas and associated circuitry. RFID tag and/or reader can be configured to support wireless channel diversity in enhancing at least one of power delivery and communication link budget.

Abstract: Techniques that facilitate reconfigurable transmission of a radar frequency signal are provided. In one example, a system includes a signal generator and a power modulator. The signal generator provides a radar waveform signal from a set of radar waveform signals. The power modulator divides a local oscillator signal associated with a first frequency and a first amplitude into a first local oscillator signal and a second local oscillator signal. The power modulator also generates a radio frequency signal associated with a second frequency and a second amplitude based on the radar waveform signal, the first local oscillator signal and the second local oscillator signal.

Abstract: Methods and systems for tag-based identification include receiving a set of parameters at a user device from a remote server. A counterfeit-proof identification tag is read using a sensor in the user device using the set of parameters. Features of the counterfeit-proof identification tag are extracted in accordance with a feature extraction function, using a processor, to generate a tag bit sequence. A challenge function is applied to the extracted features to generate a result. The result is transmitted to the remote server to authenticate the counterfeit-proof identification tag. The counterfeit-proof identification tag is authenticated with a tag database at the remote server.

Abstract: A polarimetric transceiver front-end includes two receive paths configured to receive signals from an antenna, each receive path corresponding to a respective polarization. Each front-end includes a variable amplifier and a variable phase shifter; a first transmit path configured to send signals to the antenna, where the transmit path is connected to the variable phase shifter of one of the two receive paths and includes a variable amplifier; and a transmit/receive switch configured to select between the first transmit path and the two receive paths for signals, where the transmit/receive switch includes a quarter-wavelength transmission line that adds a high impedance to the transmit path when the transmit/receive switch is in a receiving state.
