Abstract:
Millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, apparatuses, and methods that relate to transceivers, receivers, and antenna structures for wireless communications are described. The various aspects include co-located millimeter wave (mmWave) and near-field communication (NFC) antennas, scalable phased array radio transceiver architecture (SPARTA), phased array distributed communication system with MIMO support and phase noise synchronization over a single coax cable, communicating RF signals over cable (RFoC) in a distributed phased array communication system, clock noise leakage reduction, IF-to-RF companion chip for backwards and forwards compatibility and modularity, on-package matching networks, 5G scalable receiver (Rx) architecture, among others.
Abstract:
An antenna structure having a waveguide configured to operate as at least a portion of an antenna. Also, the waveguide may be configured to operate as a first antenna, and the waveguide has a hole configured to operate as a second antenna.

Abstract:
A circuit includes a sensing circuit for a first antenna and a second antenna, the sensing circuit including an adjustable characteristic that is based on a proximity of an object to the first or second antenna used to transmit a transmit signal. An evaluation circuit is coupled to the sensing circuit. The evaluation circuit is configured to monitor the characteristic of the sensing circuit and to determine whether the characteristic fulfills a predetermined criterion.
Abstract:
A gas detection device includes an enclosure having an interior chamber, an audio loudspeaker in acoustic communication with the interior chamber of the enclosure, and a gas sensor configured to detect a gas within the interior chamber of the enclosure. The device may include a ventilation port configured to permit two-way gaseous communication between the interior chamber and an atmosphere external to the enclosure, where the atmosphere comprises the gas. The audio loudspeaker is configured to generate a pressure within the interior chamber. The pressure causes a portion of the external atmosphere to be drawn into the interior chamber via the ventilation port. The gas sensor may include an emitter and a receiver. The gas detection device can be integrated into a mobile electronic device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer.
Abstract:
Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for implementing an orientation-agnostic mm-wave antenna(s) that includes an integrated second mechanism on a waveguide structure of the mm-wave antenna. The second mechanism, for example, operates on a second signal and is co-running with an operation of the waveguide structure. The second mechanism may include an audio sub-system such as an audio speaker and/or an audio microphone, or other mechanisms such as a sound or a signal detector, signal transmitter/receiver, or the like.
