  • INTEGRATED ANTENNA ARRAY AND RF FRONT END MODULE
    Publication number: 20110065400
    Abstract: Apparatus comprising an antenna switch (601) configured to select at least one antenna; and a controller (205b). The controller is configured to control the antenna switch in a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. The first mode of operation is where the apparatus is configured to communicate with a further apparatus. The second mode of operation is where the apparatus is configured to perform a direction finding.

  • SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DIRECTION FINDING USING A HANDHELD DEVICE
    Publication number: 20100309058
    Abstract: A system for indicating the relative direction of a target object or location as determined from the current position of a wireless communication device. The system employs Direction of Arrival determination using an antenna array for indicating the direction of a target device and includes facilities to activate a location-indicating transmission in a target device, the ability to request that a location-indicating transmission be activated in a remote target device, relevant information reception from a target device and the display of all potential target devices within effective transmission range of the wireless communication device.

  • Performance and power management in direction of arrival determination by utilizing sensor information
    Patent number: 7548203
    Abstract: A system for enhancing the performance of a wireless communication device (WCD) while executing a direction of arrival (DoA) estimation. The performance may be improved through device management, and may include the collection of information from one or more sensors installed within the WCD. The sensor information may initially be used to determine an appropriate configuration for the device. Further, the sensor information may also be used to affect the behavior of the device while performing the DoA estimation.
