    Abstract: A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver for a portable device includes a first linear polarization antenna configured to receive a first linear polarization component of a GNSS signal; a second linear polarization antenna configurable to receive a second linear polarization component of the GNSS signal, a radio frequency signal conforming to a second wireless communication technology, or both; and a hybrid coupler that combines the first linear polarization component of the GNSS signal and the second linear polarization component of the GNSS signal to generate a circularly polarized GNSS signal. In some embodiments, the GNSS receiver includes a tuner to tune the resonant frequency of the second linear polarization antenna. In some embodiments, the GNSS receiver includes a switch or a filter to connect or disconnect the second linear polarization antenna from the hybrid coupler to implement a circular polarization antenna or a linear polarization ante.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for sharing data between wireless devices based on one or more user gestures are disclosed. In some implementations, a wireless device may include a number of antenna elements configured to beamform signals in a plurality of transmit directions, with each of the transmit directions corresponding to one of a number of antenna sectors. Each of the antenna sectors may represent a unique set of phase shift values and gain values applied to the plurality of antenna elements, for example, so that the wireless device may beamform data transmissions in a transmit direction corresponding to a position of a target device in response to a user gesture.
