Abstract: A system of wearable or personal area devices includes a first earpiece and a second ear piece each of the first ear piece and the second ear piece comprising an ear piece housing, an induction circuit disposed within the ear piece housing for short range communications, and a radio transceiver disposed within the ear piece housing for radio communications. The induction circuit of the first ear piece and the induction circuit of the second ear piece are adapted for communication there between using high bandwidth audio.
Abstract: A system using multiple communication technologies for concurrent communication is disclosed. The system includes a transmitting subunit, a receiving subunit and a control unit. The transmitting subunit is configured to generate a transmit signal. The receiving subunit is configured to receive a receive signal. The control unit is coupled to the transmitting subunit and the receiving subunit and is configured to determine a presence or potential of crosstalk between the transmit signal and the receive signal. Additionally, the control unit is configured to reduce power of the transmitting subunit to mitigate the crosstalk.
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a radio frequency (RF) system that may be implemented in a variety of devices. For example, the RF system may include a plurality of first RF-modules, each configured to process RF signals received from a corresponding antenna array to generate intermediate frequency (IF) signals and to process IF signals for transmission via the antenna array, wherein the plurality of first RF modules are coupled to each other via a first interface comprising transmission lines for carrying at least an IF signal, a local oscillator (LO) signal, and a control signals; at least one second RF module; and a baseband module configured to provide IF signals, the LO signal, and the control signals to one of the first RF modules via a second interface and to provide at least IF signals to the second RF module via a third interface.
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a test apparatus includes a reception buffer configured to store uplink data, a transmission buffer configured to store downlink data, an arithmetic processing module configured to execute reception arithmetic processing on the uplink data read from the reception buffer, and to execute transmission arithmetic processing to generate downlink data and store the generated downlink data in the transmission buffer, and a management module configured to provide, under a first predetermined condition, the arithmetic processing module with a first instruction to execute the reception arithmetic processing, and to provide, under a second predetermined condition, the transmitting/receiving module with a second instruction to transmit the downlink data stored in the transmission buffer.
Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to wireless electronic devices. A method may comprise receiving a wireless signal with an antenna and identifying one of a wireless charging module and a near-field communication module to which the received signal is associated. The method may further comprise conveying the received signal to the identified one of the wireless charging module and the near-field communication module.
