  • Publication number: 20240097325
    Abstract: An antenna array architecture is provided for beamforming applications. The antenna array architecture facilitates a compact and wideband dual-polarized beam-switching antenna array architecture, which may be implemented in a cost-effective multi-layer PCB or package. The antenna array architecture is implemented as part of a package substrate having a number of layers. Each of the layers comprises various conductive elements such as conductive segments and/or traces that are disposed thereon in accordance with the respective antenna components.

  • Publication number: 20240080050
    Abstract: Effective radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation techniques are disclosed for use in wireless communication devices, among others. An RFI mitigation circuit may include a selector circuit to select between a cleaned signal and a clipped signal, and provide the selected signal as an output signal. The RFI mitigation circuit may also include a classifier circuit to generate a control input indication to the selector circuit to have the cleaned signal selected as the output signal based at least on a front-end circuit signal indicating that the front-end circuit is operating linearly and also indicating that the front-end circuit signal includes an interference signal. The classifier circuit may also generate the control input indication to have the clipped signal selected as the output signal based at least on the front-end circuit signal indicating that the front-end circuit is not operating linearly.

  • Patent number: 11764835
    Abstract: A communication device may include a millimeter wave (mm-wave) antenna array having antenna elements, a mm-wave element (e.g. lens), and one or more transceivers (e.g. first and second transceivers). The mm-wave lens may be configured to adjust the first beam and the second beam as the first and second beams pass through the mm-wave lens. The first transceiver can selectively couple to the antenna elements, the first transceiver being configured to drive a first selected antenna element of the antenna elements to transmit a beam from the selected first antenna element. The second transceiver may selectively couple to the antenna elements, the second transceiver being configured to drive a second selected antenna element of the antenna elements to transmit a second beam from the selected second antenna element.
