Abstract: Aspects of disclosure relate to beam steering at a multi-antenna device. The device receives an activation signal to activate one or more input ports of a Butler matrix and outputs signals from all output ports of the Butler matrix based on activation of the one or more input ports. The signals output from the output ports have varying phase shifts relative to each other. Moreover, the device phase shifts the signals output from the output ports via a plurality of phase shifters respectively coupled to the output ports. The phase shifted signals have further varying phase shifts relative to each other and a phase difference between adjacent phase shifted signals. Each one of a plurality of antenna elements at the device receives a phase shifted signal from an associated phase shifter and outputs a beam based on the phase shifted signal received from the associated phase shifter.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to defining gaps within a time period for measuring self-interference due to clutter.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for equalization domain selection at a wireless device. A wireless device may be configured to support a selection between time domain equalization and frequency domain equalization for receiving RF signals, which may be performed in accordance with detected channel conditions. For example, if a wireless device detects conditions associated with a relatively dispersive channel, the wireless device may select a frequency domain equalization and, if the wireless device detects conditions associated with a relatively flat channel, the wireless device may select a time domain equalization. In some implementations, performing a time domain equalization may include changing a sampling rate into a symbol rate, such as performing a resampling using a Farrow resampler.
