Abstract: A processing device tracks a frequency hopping sequence implemented by a personal area network (PAN) transmitter in a user device and identifies a set of filter coefficients corresponding to a first frequency of a plurality of frequencies in the frequency hopping sequence, wherein the PAN transmitter is currently transmitting a PAN signal at the first frequency. The processing device configures a tunable notch filter with the set of filter coefficients to cause the filter to remove at least a portion of a PAN component at the current frequency from a combined signal received at a wireless local area network (WLAN) receiver in the user device, the combined signal comprising a WLAN component attributable to a received WLAN signal and the PAN component attributable to the PAN signal.

Abstract: A user device obtains sensor data from sensors included in the user device. A set of current state information is determined based on the sensor data. A tuner code associated with the current state information is identified. Tuning values associated with the tuner code are varied during a training stage to determine an optimized tuner code. One or more antennae of the user device are tuned for communication in accordance with the optimized tuner code.

Abstract: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of a wideband dual-arm antenna of an electronic device are described. One wideband antenna includes a first feeding arm coupled to a radio frequency (RF) feed and a second feeding arm coupled to the RF feed. At least a portion of the second feeding arm is parallel to the first feeding arm. The wideband dual-arm antenna further includes a third arm coupled to the ground plane. The third arm is a parasitic ground element that forms a coupling to the first feeding arm and the second feeding arm. The parasitic element increases a bandwidth of the wideband antenna.

Abstract: An electronic device including a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna and a slot antenna is described. The slot antenna may be formed by a slot opening in a housing of the electronic device. The slot opening may be shaped as a rectangular slot, a T-shaped slot, or T-shaped slot leading into a circular opening. The slot opening exposes the NFC antenna and allows the NFC antenna to radiate in a first frequency band while the slot antenna radiates at a second frequency band.

Abstract: Data about concentration of one or more types of molecules present within a human body are determined noninvasively using radio frequency (RF) signals. Signals at several different frequencies at very low power levels are emitted using an antenna mounted to a wearable device. Operating values, such as changes to the impedance of the antenna resulting from interaction between the RF signals and the user, are associated with the concentration of one or more types of molecules within the user. These changes in impedance may be relatively small. Circuitry in the device determines internal impedance of the circuitry, compensating for internal impedances and improving overall accuracy of the measured impedance resulting from interaction with the user.

Abstract: Data about concentration of one or more types of molecules present within a human body are determined noninvasively using radio frequency signals. Signals at several different frequencies at very low power levels are emitted using an antenna mounted to a wearable device. The antenna includes nested elements of different sizes. Operating values, such as changes to the impedance of the antenna, are associated with the concentration of one or more types molecules within the user. Concentrations at different depths may be measured by using different sets of the nested elements at different times. Operating values at those times are measured and used to determine information indicative of concentration of the molecules. During use, a long axis of the antenna may be aligned with a long axis of a user's arm.

Abstract: Antenna carriers with magneto-dielectric material and beam-shaping elements for enhanced performance and radiation safety of electronic devices are described. One electronic device includes a housing, an antenna element disposed on an antenna carrier, and a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed within the housing, the printed circuit board including radio frequency (RF) circuitry. The antenna carrier can be made up of a plastic cap, a ground plane, and a magneto-dielectric substrate with both dielectric and magnetic properties. The plastic cap is disposed at a first side of the housing and the magneto-dielectric substrate is disposed on a top surface of the plastic cap. The antenna element is disposed on a bottom surface of the magneto-dielectric substrate and electrically coupled to the RF circuitry. The antenna element radiates electromagnetic energy in a resonant mode and the magnetic property of the magneto-dielectric material increase efficiency, frequency bandwidth, or both.
