摘要: Improved electrical testing of N-port beamforming devices is provided. For testing, an N:1 electrical network is connected to the N ports of the device under test to provide a single test port. This mode of testing can be used to determine parameters of interest (e.g., far field radiation patterns etc.) of the device under test more rapidly than with antenna range testing or with characterization of each port of the device under test. The N:1 electrical network can be passive or active. The N:1 electrical network can be integrated in a probe head to provide probe array testing of beamforming devices. Alternatively, the N:1 electrical network can be integrated with the device under test to provide onboard testing capability.

摘要: Mismatch detection using periodic structures is provided. Embodiments described herein can measure and detect mismatch between two loads in a radio frequency (RF) system without the need for external calibration by referencing their measurements into a small set of parameters that are intrinsic to the RF system design. This approach can be used to compare impedances of two loads and measure their impedances relative to each other without requiring any external calibration (e.g., the approach does not assume any prior known physical quantities in the system, such as a reference impedance). This approach can be used to compare the two loads to each other, as well as to quantify the amount of mismatch between these loads by calculating reflection coefficient between the loads. Loads can be passive devices, such as antennas, or they can be active devices, such as amplifiers.

摘要: There is provided mechanisms for calibrating transmit antenna chains and receive antenna chains of an antenna system. A method is performed by a network node. The method comprises obtaining a set of observations from bi-directional sounding of pairs of antennas of the antenna system. Each of the antennas has one transmit antenna chain and one receive antenna chain. The observations are represented by a composite product of transmit calibration weights, receive calibration weights, and signal leakage terms. The method comprises estimating the transmit calibration weights and the receive calibration weights from a decomposition of the composite product. The method comprises calibrating the transmit antenna chains and the receive antenna chains by applying as calibration factors the estimated transmit calibration weights to the transmit antenna chains and the receive calibration weights to the receive antenna chains.

摘要: In some implementations, a mobile device may perform a plurality of signal strength measurements of a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted by a satellite, wherein performing the plurality of signal strength measurements occurs over a period of time during which the mobile device is subject to a movement. The mobile device may determine, for each signal strength measurement of the plurality of signal strength measurements, a respective orientation of the mobile device corresponding to when the respective signal strength measurement was performed. The mobile device may determine a target orientation for the satellite-based communications based at least in part on a value of a particular signal strength measurement of the plurality of signal strength measurements and the respective orientation of the mobile device corresponding to the particular signal strength measurement. The mobile device may provide guidance for rotating the mobile device to the target orientation.

摘要: An electronic device is described. This electronic device may include a communication circuit (such as an integrated circuit) that combines an interrogator and a transponder. Notably, the communication circuit may dynamically and temporally interleave an interrogator or the transponder transmission with a transponder response to a second interrogator or the second transponder transmission associated with a second electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device may include or may be selectively electrically coupled to at least an omnidirectional antenna that is used for bidirectional communication, such as: transmitting the interrogator or the transponder transmission (or message), receiving the second interrogator or the second transponder transmission (or message), and/or transmitting the transponder response to the second interrogator or the second transponder transmission.

摘要: A radio frequency circuit includes a base plate, an element under test, a transmission line, a sensing line, and a controller. The base plate has a first surface. The element under test is disposed on the base plate and includes an output port to output an RF signal. The transmission line is disposed on the first surface of the base plate and electrically connected to the output port of the element under test. The sensing line is substantially parallel to the transmission line within a sensing area of the base plate. The sensing line is separated from the transmission line by a first length and adapted for inducing the RF signal on the transmission line to generate an induction signal. The controller is disposed on the base plate, electrically connected to the sensing line, and configured to determine the state of the element under test according to the induction signal.
