Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of conductive structures having first sides and second sides opposite the first sides, wherein the second sides of the plurality of conductive structures are configured to be physically coupleable with a printed circuit board (PCB) of a receiver, a transmitter, or a transceiver. The first sides of the plurality of conductive structures are configured to be spaced from the PCB by a first distance when the plurality of conductive structures is physically coupled with the PCB. The apparatus includes an antenna having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The second side of the antenna is disposed closer to the plurality of conductive structures than the first side of the antenna when the plurality of conductive structures is physically coupled with the PCB.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for cross-coupling modeling and compensation. An example method can include determining one or more cross-coupling coefficients representing electrical cross-coupling between a first signal path through a component and a second signal path through the component; based on the one or more cross-coupling coefficients, determining a first modified beamforming weight for a first signal associated with the first signal path through the component and a second modified beamforming weight for a second signal associated with the second signal path through the component, wherein the first and second modified beamforming weights compensate for the electrical cross-coupling between the first signal path through the component and the second signal path through the component; applying the first modified beamforming weight to the first signal associated with the first signal path; and applying the second modified beamforming weight to the second signal associated with the second signal path.
