If the recipient accepts, the multimedia sample can be downloaded or cached before or streamed at the time of play. Many can enjoy listening to the same multimedia sample even using headphones. This enables a group to enjoy synchronized movement without requiring a sound system other than headphones.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a resonant transmit/receive switch with transformer gate/source coupling. The resonant transmit/receive (T/R) switch includes a switchable inductor having a first inductance value for use in receive (Rx) mode and a second inductance value for use in transmit (Tx) mode.

In one implementation, the switchable inductor is gate sourced coupled to at least one of first and second inductors of a low noise amplifier (LNA), thereby allowing use of smaller inductors due to the resulting coupling factor.

The signal generator may not need to be reconfigured between scans, because the test signal contains multiple radio channels. The host computer may run a test program that directs a test program running on the DUT to perform the required tasks during testing.
