  • Publication number: 20240403699
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for improved machine learning. Impedance information for a wireless transmitter of a device is determined, and impedance change information is generated based on a difference between the impedance information and prior impedance information for the wireless transmitter. An off-body characteristic is generated based on processing the impedance change information using a trained machine learning model, where the off-body characteristic indicates a probability that the device was off-body when the impedance information was determined.

  • Publication number: 20180204101
    Abstract: An antenna tuning circuit achieves robust performance in a closed loop antenna tuning system due to the addition of protection circuits. In one instance, a protection circuit to detect an overload condition based on a threshold value may be included in the antenna tuning circuit. The antenna tuning circuit also includes a protection state register coupled to the protection circuit to store one or more safe states of operation to which the circuit is restored in response to detecting the overload condition. The antenna tuning circuit also includes a bus interface coupled to the protection state register to transmit an indication of a state of operation of the circuit to an external tuning control device coupled to the circuit and to receive pre-defined protection actions from the external tuning control device in response to the indication of the state of operation.
