  • Patent number: 11626897
    Abstract: A transmitter circuit includes at least one transmitting signal processing device, a compensation device and a compensation value calibration device. The compensation device generates a first compensated input signal and a second compensated input signal by respectively processing input signals according to a first compensation value and a second compensation value. The transmitting signal processing device generates a first output signal and a second output signal by processing the first compensated input signal and the second compensated input signal. The compensation value calibration device receives the first output signal and the second output signal as a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal, respectively, and includes a digital signal processor. The digital signal processor determines a calibrated compensation value according to power of the first feedback signal and the second feedback signal at a predetermined frequency and the first compensation value and the second compensation value.

  • Patent number: 11621469
    Abstract: Power-combining devices, and more particularly spatial power-combining devices with increased output power are disclosed. Increased output power may be realized by increasing a number of transmission paths for amplification that are associated with each amplifier assembly of a spatial power-combining device. Each transmission path may include an input antenna structure, an amplifier, and an output antenna structure for providing amplification of signals that pass therethrough. In this manner, a total number of transmission paths for amplification may be increased without having to increase a total number of amplifier assemblies. Further improvements to electrical separation and stability between neighboring amplifier assemblies may be provided by electrically grounded conductive sheets that are arranged between neighboring amplifier assemblies.

  • Patent number: 11620537
    Abstract: Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) successively stacks many decision trees which at each step try to fix the residual errors from the previous steps. The final score produced by the GBDT is the sum of the individual scores obtained by the decision trees for an input vector. Overfitting in GBDT can be reduced by removing the input values that have the least impact on the output from the training data. One way to determine which input variable has the lowest predictive value is to determine the input variable that is used for the first time in the latest decision tree in the GBDT. This method of identifying the low-predictive features to be removed does not require that earlier trees be regenerated to generate the new GBDT. Since the removed feature was already not used in the earlier trees, those trees already ignore the removed feature.

  • Patent number: 11616527
    Abstract: A transmitter/receiver (1) up-converts, using an LO signal as a local oscillation signal, an IF signal having a predetermined frequency band, thereby generating a transmission signal RFTX. Moreover, the transmitter/receiver (1) generates a (LO+IF)2 signal and a (LO?IF)2 signal based on the IF signal and the LO signal. Using the LO signal obtained by adding-up of the (LO+IF)2 signal and the (LO?IF)2 signal, a reception signal RFRX is down-converted. Thus, a local oscillation signal generation unit of a receiving unit is not necessary.

  • Patent number: 11611386
    Abstract: A front-end module (FEM) for a 6.1 GHz Wi-Fi acoustic wave resonator RF filter circuit. The device can include a power amplifier (PA), a 6.1 GHz resonator, and a diversity switch. The device can further include a low noise amplifier (LNA). The PA is electrically coupled to an input node and can be configured to a DC power detector or an RF power detector. The resonator can be configured between the PA and the diversity switch, or between the diversity switch and an antenna. The LNA may be configured to the diversity switch or be electrically isolated from the switch. Another 6.1 GHZ resonator may be configured between the diversity switch and the LNA. In a specific example, this device integrates a 6.1 GHz PA, a 6.1 GHZ bulk acoustic wave (BAW) RF filter, a single pole two throw (SP2T) switch, and a bypassable LNA into a single device.

  • Patent number: 11601144
    Abstract: The radio frequency front-end systems herein include modules having bandwidth controllable components, such as amplifier and filters. By implementing the modules with bandwidth control, the same module can be used for operation of multiple frequency bands including a first frequency band and a second frequency band. Thus, when implementing features such as carrier aggregation, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and/or sounding resource signaling (SRS) for supporting the multiple frequency bands, the total number of modules used can be reduced and/or additional feature support can be provided compared to an implementation in which each module supports a single frequency band.
