Abstract: In some examples, a touch screen can perform a first touch scan to obtain first touch data and a second touch scan to obtain second touch data. The touch data resulting from the second touch scan may exclude respective noise (e.g., display-to-touch crosstalk (DTX) noise) or may include a reduced amount of the respective noise. In some examples, the electronic device can subtract the second touch data from the first touch data to obtain an estimate of the noise in the first touch data. In some examples, this noise estimate can be subtracted from the first touch data and an action can be performed based on the first touch data with the noise estimate removed.

Abstract: An amplifier of a transmitter includes an input that receives an input signal and generates an amplified signal at an output. A digital power meter is coupled to the input of the amplifier, generates an estimated amplified signal, and determines peak and average powers of the estimated amplified signal. An output power detector coupled to the output of the amplifier determines peak and average powers of the amplified signal. A controller coupled to the digital power meter and the output power detector determines an estimated crest factor based on the peak and average powers of the estimated amplified signal, an amplified crest factor based on the peak and average powers of the amplified signal, and an error vector magnitude based on the estimated and amplified crest factors. The controller, which is also coupled to the amplifier, then adjusts operation of the amplifier based on the error vector magnitude.
