Publication number: 20240403699Abstract: 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.
