  • Patent number: 12003019
    Abstract: A portable or wearable electronic device can include a device housing defining an internal volume, and an electronic component disposed in the internal volume. The electronic component can be an input component and can have a component housing. The electronic device can also include an antenna feed assembly disposed in the internal volume. The antenna feed assembly can include a conductive grounding component electrically connected to the component housing and the device housing, and an antenna feed component electrically connected to the grounding component and disposed adjacent to the component housing. The conductive grounding component can surround a first major surface and a second major surface of the component housing.

  • Patent number: 10727848
    Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) comprising a multi-band oscillator and a memory configured to store control input for the oscillator. The PLL is operable in a calibration mode in which the PLL is configured to acquire a frequency controlled word (FCW) for the PLL corresponding to a frequency generated by the oscillator in response to a first control input threshold on a first band of the oscillator; generate a frequency corresponding to said FCW on a second band of the oscillator adjacent to said first band; identify a second control input causing the oscillator to generate said frequency corresponding to said FCW and store said second control input in memory.

  • Patent number: 7397300
    Abstract: An FSK demodulator system with tunable spectral shaping including a pair of quadri-correlators responsive to first and second quadrature signals, one of the pair deriving first and second signals representative of the frequency deviation of the quadrature signals at even integer multiples of the frequency deviation and for resolving the modulated FSK data represented by the quadrature signals and the other of the pair deriving first and second signals representative of the frequency deviation of the quadrature signals at odd integer multiples of the deviation frequency and for resolving the modulated FSK data represented by the quadrature signals, and a delay control circuit for setting a delay to each of the pair of quadri-correlators to control the first and second signals representative of the frequency deviation of the quadrature signals derived by each of the pair of quadri-correlators and generate a tuned spectral response at both even and odd integer multiples of the frequency deviation.
