Abstract:
A method for inductively coupled communication is described. The method includes applying a carrier signal at a carrier frequency to an antenna circuit. The antenna circuit includes an antenna and a matching network that resonate at a resonant frequency. The method also includes measuring a looped-back signal over a range of impedance values. The looped-back signal includes the carrier signal received by a receiver coupled to the antenna circuit. The method further includes setting a calibrated impedance as an impedance configuration that produces a resonance peak in the looped-back signal.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method of wireless communication by a wireless device includes generating, by the wireless device, a protocol data unit (PDU) header and a corresponding PDU payload of an angle of arrival (AoA) packet. The generating of the PDU payload includes inserting a supplemental field and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) field into the PDU payload. The supplemental field is configured to enable another wireless device to determine an angle of arrival of the AoA packet and the CRC field corresponds to a CRC of at least the supplemental field. The method also includes transmitting the AoA packet with a single antenna of the wireless device.
