Abstract: Methods of arranging and designing antennas to optimize electromagnetic field distributions in the near-field region of an antenna to optimize parameters such as electric field (E-field), magnetic field (H-field), specific absorption rate (SAR), power density (PD), etc. while ensuring specific performance of the antenna in the far-field region in terms of gain, efficiency, radiation pattern, etc.

Abstract: This disclosure presents methods and devices that implement dynamic transmit power control techniques in terminal devices with multiple radio frequency (RF) transmitters and/or in a multi-terminal device environment to comply with regulatory RF exposure limits and standards while enhancing device performance. For example, the present disclosure provides a device including a processor configured to monitor a transmit power for each of a plurality of transmitters; determine a transmit power reduction to be applied to the plurality of transmitters based on a total simultaneous transmit power of the plurality of transmitters exceeding a threshold; define a respective amount of the transmit power reduction to be applied to each transmitter of the plurality of transmitters based on one or more parameters; and apply the respective amount of the transmit power reduction to each transmitter of the plurality of transmitters.

Abstract: Methods and device to implement the use of proximity sensor data and time-averaging specific absorption rate methods in determining whether to apply or remove a power back-off to a radio frequency transmitter. The methods and devices may be configured to detect whether a body is proximately located based on obtained proximity sensor data; define an upper threshold for a radio frequency (RF) transmit power and a lower threshold for the RF transmit power; calculate an average power of an RF transmitter over a fixed time period; and based on whether the body is detected, the average power, and a comparison of the average power to the upper threshold or the lower threshold, determine whether to apply or remove a power back-off to the RF transmitter.

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes one or more processors, configured to determine one or more first transmission power measurements within a first transmission power measurement sampling period; calculate a first transmission power factor, the first transmission power factor representing a central tendency of the one or more first transmission power measurements from the first power measurement sampling period; determine a second power measurement during a second transmission power measurement sampling period; and calculate a second transmission power factor, wherein the second transmission power factor is a central tendency of at least one of the one or more first power measurements and the second power measurement.

Abstract: Generally, this disclosure provides devices, systems and methods for improved transmit power adaptation for platforms with wireless communication capability. A device may include a memory to store a first transmission (Tx) power level and a Tx power determination module to receive a second Tx power level from a device driver, the second Tx power level provided from a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) associated with a platform hosting the device. The Tx power determination module may further determine a third Tx power level based on a comparison of the first Tx power level and the second Tx power level. The device may further include a radio frequency (RF) transmission module to transmit a wireless signal at the third Tx power level.
