    摘要: A method includes accessing sets of correlation values, each set corresponding to a correlation performed between a number of first samples and a same number of second samples. The sets of correlation values were determined by aligning the number of the first samples with selected second samples and sliding the number of first samples across the second samples to select different sets of the second samples. The first samples are samples of a forward signal transmitted over a cable/connector system to one or more antennas, and the second samples are samples of a reflected RF signal that comprises a reflected version of the forward signal. The method includes determining a maximum value from the plurality of sets of correlation values, and associating the maximum value with a return loss of the cable/connector system. Apparatus, computer programs, and program products are also disclosed.

    摘要: Communications equipment including communications equipment for wireless communications may benefit from power amplifier transistors having stabilized characteristics. For example, certain power amplifier transistors may benefit from having their characteristics stabilized during bias switching. An apparatus can include a power amplifier device. The apparatus can also include a voltage or current input to the power amplifier device. An input voltage or current to the voltage or current input can be configured to be controlled according to scheduled transmission in a slot. The apparatus can also include a gate bias insertion circuit provided at the bias input. The gate bias insertion circuit can be configured to provide a reduced input voltage or current as a power amplifier bias. The reduced input voltage or current can be configured to correspond to a threshold of a transistor of the power amplifier when transmission is not scheduled in a slot.

    摘要: Systems and techniques for return loss estimation are described. A forward power sample is taken from a power amplifier of a transmitter by sampling a feedback signal used for power control of the amplifier, and a reflected power sample at an output of the power amplifier is taken by observing the power at a circulator termination of the power amplifier. A difference determination is made for the forward power sample and the fleeted power sample in the analog domain to determine a return loss and may be digitized for further processing such as return loss measurement and comparison against thresholds. A further comparator circuit may be used to insure that measurements are made when the signal strength is adequate.
