  • Publication number: 20230155554
    Abstract: Envelope tracking systems for power amplifiers are provided herein. In certain embodiments, an envelope tracker is provided for a power amplifier that amplifies an RF signal. The envelope tracker includes a multi-level switching circuit having an output that provides an output current that changes in relation to an envelope signal indicating an envelope of the RF signal when the envelope tracker is operating in an envelope tracking mode. The multi-level switching circuit includes a multi-level supply (MLS) modulator that receives multiple regulated voltages of different voltage levels, and an MLS control circuit that controls the selection of the MLS modulator over time based on the envelope signal. When transitioning the MLS modulator from selection of one regulated voltage level to another regulated voltage level, the MLS control circuit provides a soft transition to gradually switch the regulated voltage levels.

  • Patent number: 11646757
    Abstract: Architectures and techniques relate to selectively implementing certain components to suppress emissions. For example, an emissions-suppression circuit can include a notch filter associated with a first frequency range, a switch assembly coupled to the notch filter, and a duplexer coupled to the switch assembly. The switch assembly can be configured to, in a filter state, couple the notch filter to a transmit path and configured to, in a bypass state, decouple the notch filter from the transmit path. The transmit path can be associated with two or more switch connections in the notch-filter state and associated with one switch connection in the bypass state. The duplexer can include a transmit filter that is associated with a second frequency range.

  • Patent number: 11627086
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an offload platform is an compute platform, adjunct to a router or other packet switching device, that performs packet processing operations including determining an egress forwarding value corresponding to the next-hop node of the packet switching device to which to send an offload-platform processed packet. The offload platform downloads forwarding information from the router, and augments it, such as, but not limited to, representing interfaces of the router as identifiable virtual interface(s) on the offload platform, and including each of one or more next-hop nodes of the router represented as an identifiable virtual adjacency and identifiable tunnel (e.g., identified by the egress forwarding value). In one embodiment, the egress forwarding value is an Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label or Segment Routing Identifier. The router identifies packets of certain packet flows to send to the adjunct offload platform, rather than processing per its routing information base.

  • Publication number: 20230091482
    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses are described. Light output by a light source may be transformed into an annular shape (e.g., a spatial distribution of the light may be modified to have an annular shape) to cure an adhesive material having a similar annular shape. For example, a system may include a light source emitting light (e.g., ultraviolet (UV) light) having an angular distribution and a spatial distribution. An optical system may modify a shape of the spatial distribution into an annular shape, and the light having the annular shape may be focused on an adhesive material to cure the adhesive material. In some examples, the adhesive material may be positioned between an optical element and a structural component, and the focused light in the annular shape may cure the adhesive material while simultaneously avoiding one or more other optical components or structures.

  • Patent number: 11601144
    Abstract: The radio frequency front-end systems herein include modules having bandwidth controllable components, such as amplifier and filters. By implementing the modules with bandwidth control, the same module can be used for operation of multiple frequency bands including a first frequency band and a second frequency band. Thus, when implementing features such as carrier aggregation, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and/or sounding resource signaling (SRS) for supporting the multiple frequency bands, the total number of modules used can be reduced and/or additional feature support can be provided compared to an implementation in which each module supports a single frequency band.
