Abstract: An antenna is provided having a good matching characteristics when immersed in a fluid such as saline water, oil, or other liquids (“the phantom liquid”). In some embodiments, the antenna provides a tight capacitive coupling with the phantom liquid through the use of a higher permeability cover and absence of a gap between the cover and the antenna body. One embodiment employs a tunably capacitively loaded inverted “F” antenna structure. Additional embodiments of the invention provide an antenna tuning system that saves power by utilizing very low duty cycle periodical refreshing charge at a tuning varactor diode coupled to the antenna.

Abstract: A single sideband mixer circuit includes a voltage controlled oscillator operable a tunable frequency f1. The mixer circuit outputs a frequency signal at a frequency f1±f2. A tracking filter operates to filter the frequency signal and generate a first output signal at the frequency f1±f2. A resonance frequency fr of the tracking filter is tunable to substantially match the frequency f1±f2 of the frequency signal. The output signal of the tracking filter may be processed by a phase lock loop circuit to generate a control signal for controlling the setting of the tunable frequency f1 and resonance frequency fr. Alternatively, the output signal of the tracking filter may be divided and the divided signal processed by a phase lock loop circuit to generate the control signal for controlling setting of the tunable frequency f1 and resonance frequency fr.

Abstract: A comparison is made in a number of scenarios of a current channel gain setting for a receiver to a threshold. If the current channel gain setting is less than the threshold, then current within at least a portion of the receiver is decreased. In one scenario, the comparison is only made in event that no single tone interferer is detected. In another scenario, the comparison is made to a tolerable single tone blocker threshold, and if greater then current is decreased. In another scenario, the comparison is made to an acceptable intermodulation response rejection threshold, and if greater then current is decreased. In yet another scenario, the comparison is made to an acceptable spurious free dynamic range threshold, and if greater then current is decreased. The portions of the receiver for which current decreases are implemented include a low noise amplifier, mixer, voltage controlled oscillator and variable gain amplifiers.
