    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An antenna structure for wideband coverage may include a first bowtie antenna disposed in a first plane. The first bowtie antenna may be, for example, an elliptical bowtie antenna or a triangular bowtie antenna. The antenna structure may also include a plurality of additional bowtie antennas, each of the plurality of additional bowtie antennas disposed in a different plane parallel to the first plane. The first bowtie antenna and the plurality of additional bowtie antennas may be stacked in a first direction perpendicular to the first plane to form a bowtie antenna stack. The antenna structure may include a plurality of bowtie antenna stacks. The antenna structure may also include a staggered conductive wall.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for mitigating temperature spikes and dissipating heat. The apparatus for mitigating temperature spikes and dissipating heat comprises one or more heatsinks, one or more sensors, one or more phase change materials and one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors. The one or more processors may be configured to obtain one or more sensor measurements and may be configured to determine whether to store heat or dissipate heat based on the one or more sensor measurements. In response to a determination to dissipate heat, the one or more processors may be configured to dissipate heat from the one or more processors, the one or more phase change materials or both using the one or more heatsinks. Furthermore, in response to a determination to store heat, store heat from the one or more processors using the one or more phase change materials.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for seamless metal back cover for combined wireless power transfer, cellular, WiFi, and GPS communications are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus for wirelessly coupling with other devices comprises a metallic cover comprising a first metallic portion separated by a first non-conductive portion from a second metallic portion of the metallic portion to define a first slot. The apparatus further comprises a conductor comprising a first end portion electrically coupled to the metallic cover at the first metallic portion and a second end portion crossing the first end portion and electrically coupled to the metallic cover at the second metallic portion. The metallic cover and the conductor form a coupler configured to wirelessly receive power sufficient to charge or power a load of the apparatus from a wireless power transmitter.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, devices, apparatuses, and systems for ultrasonic fingerprint sensing with an acoustic shielding structure. One or more layers in an ultrasonic fingerprint sensing system may reflect back ultrasonic waves due to acoustic impedance mismatch that can distort a fingerprint image. An acoustic shielding structure may be configured to absorb, store, trap, or otherwise attenuate ultrasonic waves. The acoustic shielding structure may be positioned underlying an ultrasonic sensor layer. In some implementations, the acoustic shielding structure may include a plurality of periodically spaced apart geometric features or holes in a medium.

    Abstract: An apparatus for wirelessly transmitting charging power is provided. The apparatus comprises a transmit coil configured to generate a wireless charging field for wirelessly transmitting charging power when driven by a current. The apparatus comprises a control circuit configured to cause the transmit coil to transmit a packet via the wireless charging field, wherein the packet comprises information indicative of the presence of the wireless charging field to cause a chargeable device to electrically disconnect a communication circuit from a receive coil within the chargeable device. The control circuit is further configured to cause the transmit coil to transmit the packet periodically based on a predetermined interval. The predetermined interval has a shorter duration than a duration of a communication interval of the communication circuit. The control circuit is further configured to reduce a magnitude of a strength of the wireless charging field during packet transmission.
