摘要: A method for surfacing data indicative of a channel quality indicator (CQI) associated with a multi-mode antenna of a first device is provided. The method includes obtaining data indicative of the CQI while the multi-mode antenna is configured in each of a plurality of antenna modes. Each of the plurality of antenna modes has a distinct radiation pattern. The method includes determining one of the plurality of antenna modes as a selected antenna mode for the multi-mode antenna based, at least in part, on the data indicative of the CQI. The method includes providing the data indicative of the CQI associated with one or more antenna modes of the plurality of antenna modes to a second device that is separate from the first device.

摘要: An antenna comprising an IMD element and one or more parasitic and active tuning elements is disclosed. The IMD element, when used in combination with the active tuning and parasitic elements, allows antenna operation at multiple resonant frequencies. In addition, the direction of antenna radiation pattern may be arbitrarily rotated in accordance with the parasitic and active tuning elements. Unique antenna architectures for beam steering in Wi-Fi band applications is further described.

摘要: An antenna system for use with one or more media devices is provided. The antenna system includes a plurality of antenna elements. Each antenna element is associated with an independent feed element. In addition each antenna element is configured to receive a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals. Each RF signal can be associated with a UHF band or a VHF band. The antenna system can include at least one tuner and at least one switching device. The at least one switching device can be configured to selectively couple the at least one tuner to one antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements based, at least in part, on channel selection data associated with the at least one tuner.

摘要: The disclosure concerns an antenna with proximity sensor function. The antenna and proximity sensors can be implemented in a laptop computer, and proximity sensor loading states are surveyed and used to determine when and to what degree to alter the reactance at the junction of or along the parasitic element to optimize the frequency response and/or the impedance properties of the antenna system. An algorithm or look-up table is configured to relate proximity sensor loading states to reactance required to alter antenna characteristics.

摘要: An RFIC with memory is described where the memory can be used to house a look-up table for tuning components designed into the RFIC, providing a customized tuning circuit for antenna and transceiver front-end tuning applications. The look-up table can be loaded at wafer level during the manufacturing process to customize an RFIC design for a specific antenna system. The memory can be used to restrict or tailor the tuning range of tunable capacitors and switches within the RFIC to optimize performance in the end application. The resident memory will improve signaling latency when tuning for time critical applications such as channel tuning in a cellular communication system.

摘要: An active circuit control system that utilizes multiple PWM signals to activate and power an array of active components, requiring minimal wiring between the multi-mode signal conditioner and active components. Signal conditioning and filtering is implemented to allow transmission of power and control signals for multiple components over a single or multiple transmission lines. The circuit can be used to provide supply voltage and control signals for active antennas, switch networks, and other components in communication systems and electronic devices.
