  • Sensing Of Antenna Connection For Remote Radio Heads
    Publication number: 20220209798
    Abstract: Described are concepts, systems and techniques for detecting whether an impedance mismatch exists at an output port of a remote radio head (RRH) or at an output port of a radio frequency (RF) amplifier in an RRH such as may be caused by a faulty connection between an antenna and a transmit signal path of the RRH. Also described are means for protecting an RF amplifier or other active RF device in the transmit signal path from damage due to such a faulty connection.

  • Cellular Network That Dynamically Adjusts Bandwidth And Number Of MIMO Paths Based On Realized Channel Capacity
    Publication number: 20220158672
    Abstract: Described are concepts, systems and techniques for dividing a communication channel such that no single radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA) in a remote radio head (RRH) operates over an excessively wide frequency bandwidth. This allows efficient operation of the RF PA wherein each PA transmit path is tuned for operation at a respective one of a plurality of different center frequencies (f0, f0+?f, . . . f0+(n?1)?f where n is an integer corresponding to the number of RF PA transmit paths.
