Abstract: Aspects disclosed in the detailed description include an antenna on a device assembly. A device assembly includes a silicon device layer having at least one antenna. The device assembly also includes a polymer substrate that is formed with insulating material that does not interfere with the at least one antenna in the silicon device layer. As a result, it is unnecessary to shield the at least one antenna from the polymer substrate, thus allowing radio frequency (RF) signals radiating from the at least one antenna to pass through the polymer substrate.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to bus interface systems. In one embodiment, the bus interface system includes a bus line along with a master bus controller and a slave bus controller coupled to the bus line. In order to start a data frame, the master bus controller is configured to generate a sequence of data pulses along the bus line such that the sequence of data pulses is provided in accordance to a start of sequence (SOS) pulse pattern. The slave bus controller is configured to recognize that the sequence of data transmitted along the bus line by the master bus controller has been provided in accordance with the SOS pulse pattern. In this manner, the slave bus controller can detect when the master bus controller has started a new data frame. As such, the exchange of information through data frames can be synchronized along the bus line with requiring an additional bus line for a clock signal.

Abstract: Embodiments of bus interface systems and methods of operating the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a bus interface system includes a master bus controller and multiple slave bus controllers that are each coupled to a bus line. The master bus controller is configured to generate a first set of data pulses along the bus line representing a payload segment. Each of the slave bus controllers decodes the first set of data pulses along the bus line representing the payload segment and performs an error check. Each slave bus controller is then configured to generate an acknowledgement pulse along the bus line to indicate that the slave bus controller's particular error check was passed. In this manner, the bus interface system can perform a group write bus function and the master bus controller can determine that the multiple slave bus controllers each received an accurate copy of the payload segment.

Abstract: Antenna array calibration for wireless charging is disclosed. A wireless charging system is provided and configured to calibrate antenna elements in a wireless charging station based on a feedback signal provided by a wireless charging device. The antenna elements in the wireless charging station transmit wireless radio frequency (RF) charging signals to the wireless charging device. The wireless charging device provides the feedback signal to the wireless charging station to indicate total RF power in the wireless RF charging signals. The wireless charging station is configured to adjust transmitter phases associated with the antenna elements based on the feedback signal until the total RF power in the wireless RF charging signals is maximized. By calibrating the antenna elements based on the feedback signal, it is possible to achieve phase coherency among the antenna elements without requiring factory calibration.

Abstract: Embodiments of a bus interface system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the bus interface system includes a master bus controller and a slave bus controller coupled to a bus line. The master bus controller is configured to generate a first set of data pulses along the bus line representing a payload segment. The slave bus controller is configured to decode the first set of data pulses representing the payload segment into a decoded payload segment. The slave bus controller is then configured to perform a first error check on the decoded payload segment. Furthermore, the slave bus controller is configured to generate an acknowledgment signal along the bus line so that the acknowledgement signal indicates that the decoded payload segment passed the first error check. In this manner, the master bus controller can determine that the slave bus controller received an accurate copy of the payload segment.
