  • Patent number: 10128872
    Abstract: A communication device comprises a set of filters that are selectively coupled to different groups of front end ports and an antenna port to form a diplexer, a single filter or a no filter connection for transmission and reception of different data signals. A processor operates to selectively determine or combine filters and couple them to the front end ports and the antenna port based on an operational mode and a frequency separation of signals operating in different frequency ranges of different operating bands. The operational mode can alter between a carrier aggregation mode, in which more than one operating band is aggregated during transmission or reception, and a non-carrier aggregation mode, in which only one filter, no filters or the diplexer is bypassed. The insertion loss of the transmissions and receptions can also be actively decreased.

  • Patent number: 10081834
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to sequencing of nucleic acids. A method is provided for sequencing based on immobilized nucleic acid on a surface. Advantageously, a long range detection mechanism is used for detecting, whether a nucleotide provided to the substrate of a biochip has been incorporated into the immobilized template nucleic acid. Various different alignment means are provided by the present invention which can be used for facilitating a rigidly locking of the orientation of the DNA complex, which complex comprises the template nucleic acid, the primer and the capture nucleic acid. Various different linker systems may be used to immobilize the DNA complex at a first and a second strand end, such that the desired alignment of the DNA complex is achieved. Also co-adsorbed molecules on the substrate surface can be used for such an aligning measure.

  • Patent number: 10051578
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining information on a power variation of a transmit signal comprises a power amplifier module, an antenna module and a power variation determining module. The power amplifier module amplifies a radio frequency transmit signal and the antenna module transmits at least partly the amplified radio frequency transmit signal. The power variation determining module determines a weighted sum of a first feedback signal derived from the amplified radio frequency transmit signal and a second feedback signal derived from the amplified radio frequency transmit signal. The first feedback signal and the second feedback signal comprise different dependencies on a varying impedance at the antenna module. Further, the power variation determining module generates a power variation signal based on the weighted sum. The power variation signal comprises information related to a power variation of the amplified radio frequency transmit signal.

  • Patent number: 9973370
    Abstract: An apparatus compensates nonlinearities in envelope tracking (ET) used in a mobile device by limiting a bandwidth of an envelope signal representing an envelope of an input baseband signal to be less than a bandwidth of tracker circuitry, generating a scaled replica of an output signal of the tracker circuitry based on the bandwidth-limited envelope signal, and generating a model distortion signal based on the scaled replica and the input baseband signal, where the model distortion signal emulates ET linearity degradation. The apparatus is further configured to generate an output baseband signal based on the scaled replica, the model distortion signal, and the input baseband signal, where the output baseband signal is pre-distorted relative to the input baseband signal according to the scaled replica, the model distortion signal, and the input baseband signal to compensate for degradations in transmit signal quality due to ET nonlinearities.

  • Patent number: 9885687
    Abstract: Arrangements are described for evaluating characteristics of target molecules. A biochip is received which includes a substrate to which charged probe molecules are attached. The probe molecules have a marker to allow generating signals indicative of the distance of a portion of the probe molecule from the substrate. The signals are detected and means for an external electric field is generated to which the probe molecules are exposed. A control means acts to: (A) apply an external electric field causing the portion of the probe molecule to approach the substrate, and (B) apply an external electric field causing the portion of the probe molecule to move away from the substrate. The signal is recorded as a function of time during step (A) and/or step (B). Steps (A) and (B) are repeated for a predetermined number of times and the recorded signals are combined.
