Abstract:
A wireless communication device for communicating across a wireless communication channel includes one or more processors configured to determine whether a further device is generating a radio frequency interference at an operating frequency; transmit a request message to the further device requesting the further device vacate the operating frequency based on the determination that the further device is generating radio frequency interference; receive a response message from the further device; and generate an instruction based on the response message.

Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms for interconnecting circuitry disposed on a transparent substrate. In an embodiment, a multilayer circuit is bonded to the transparent substrate, the multilayer circuit including conductive traces that are variously offset at different respective levels from a side of the transparent substrate. Circuit components, such as packaged or unpackaged integrated circuit devices, are coupled each to respective input and/or output (IO) contacts of the multilayer circuit, where the conductive traces and the IO contacts interconnect the circuit components with each other. In another embodiment, the multilayer circuit is a flexible circuit that is bent to interconnect circuit components which are disposed on opposite respective sides of the transparent substrate.
Abstract:
A parallel via design is disclosed to improve the impedance match for embedded common mode choke filter designs. Particularly suited to such designs on four-layer printed circuit boards, the parallel via design effectively suppresses the reflection of the differential pair. By connecting the vias in parallel, the inductance of the entire via structure is reduced while its capacitance is simultaneously increased. By properly choosing the number of parallel vias and the spacing between them, the impedance of the parallel vias can be well controlled within the frequency range of interest. Consequently, the impedance match can be improved and the return loss of a four-layer printed circuit board common mode choke filter design is reduced.

Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices and methods for integration of millimeter wave antennas in platforms with reduced form factors while maintaining or improving antenna gain. An antenna assembly may include a first planar substrate; a ground plane disposed on the first planar substrate; a second planar substrate disposed on the ground plane; and an antenna radiation element disposed on the second planar substrate. The antenna radiation element may be configured to transmit a signal in the millimeter wave frequency region. The assembly may also include a via to provide a conductive path for the signal from a microstrip feed line, beneath the first planar substrate, to the antenna radiation element. The assembly may further include a dielectric layer disposed on the antenna radiation element to provide increased antenna gain under conditions of reduced air gap between the antenna radiation element and a structural element of an enclosing platform.
