  • Publication number: 20240169255
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating, storing, and modifying data for feature engineering purposes. In particular, methods and systems for automatically generating feature engineering pipelines by chaining multiple transformers (models and/or function trained to transform data in specific ways) and estimators (e.g., algorithms trained with input data to generate transformers) in a sequential order based on feature attributes. To determine the specific transformers and estimators, the system may access a shared knowledge database, graph engine, and pipeline engine.

  • Patent number: 11671793
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation techniques. Some embodiments of the disclosure provide for estimating radio propagation path parameters based on a training signal received over a set of active frequencies. The radio propagation path parameters (e.g., fading coefficients for each path) are used to reconstruct a channel frequency response on null frequencies (e.g., frequencies that did not include or carry the received training signal). A time-of-arrival parameter can then be estimated based on the estimated channel frequency response and the reconstructed channel frequency response (e.g., the channel frequency response estimated using both active frequencies and null frequencies).

  • Publication number: 20230111606
    Abstract: One or more aspects of the techniques and models described herein provide for bidirectional recurrent neural network (BiRNN)-based digital pre-distortion techniques for radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs). As an example, a digital pre-distorter (DPD) system may implement residual learning and long short-term memory (LSTM) projection layer features to reduce computational complexity and memory requirements. Implementing the described unconventional techniques of applying residual learning in RNN (e.g., in BiLSTM), using LSTM projection to develop a DPD structure, or both, may provide several advantages over preexisting techniques. For instance, the complexity in training and pre-distortion may be reduced and significantly less memory may be required to store the DPD neural network coefficients (e.g., while achieving similar or better linearization performance compared to other LSTM models). Further, faster training convergence speed may be achieved (e.g., compared to other LSTM models).

  • Patent number: 11525909
    Abstract: A measurement method performed at a receiving device involves sequentially receiving RF signals, each comprising a different set of at least first and second tones at differing frequencies. Complex gain responses (CGRs) for each of the first and second tones of each of the RF signals are measured. A phase offset is determined between: i) a phase of the CGR of the second tone of a first RF signal, and ii) a phase of the CGR of the first tone of a second RF signal. A coherent channel frequency (CCF) response of the second tone of the second RF signal is computed by adjusting a phase of the CGR of the second tone of the first RF signal by the phase offset. A processor executes a signal paths calculation algorithm using the CCF response of the second tone of the second RF signal to determine an angle or time of arrival of the first RF signal.

  • Publication number: 20220350062
    Abstract: An electronic device may include conductive structures with a light-reflecting coating. The coating may have a two or four-layer thin-film interference filter. The two-layer filter may have a CrN layer and an SiCrN layer. The four-layer filter may have two CrN layers and two SiCrN layers. The two-layer filter may be used to coat relatively small conductive components. The four-layer filter may be used to coat a conductive housing sidewall. Both types of interference filter may produce a relatively uniform light blue color despite variations in coating thickness produced on account of the geometry of the underlying conductive structure.

  • Publication number: 20220191245
    Abstract: A method for detecting a modification, due to an interferer, of a wireless channel between a transmitting device and a receiving device. First and second samples of channel frequency response (CFR) of the wireless channel are measured within a time interval less than or equal to a pre-established static time interval throughout which the wireless channel is expected to exhibit a static characteristic in an environment without any interferer. An interferer is detected to have modified the wireless channel when a similarity condition reflecting a degree of similarity between the first and second CFR samples is not satisfied.
