  • Patent number: 11183752
    Abstract: The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an antenna structure and an antenna array. The antenna structure comprises a first antenna component which comprises: a first three-dimensional antenna with one end grounded or connected with a reference potential; a single antenna port connected with the other end of the first three-dimensional antenna; and a first parasitic structure provided adjacent to the first three-dimensional antenna. In the antenna structure, the first three-dimensional antenna is only connected with a single antenna port, so that the number of ports required by the antenna can be reduced, that is, the power consumption can be reduced from the antenna dimension, thereby simultaneously reducing heat generation and maintaining stable overall wireless performance.

  • Publication number: 20210344115
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an integration module system of millimeter-wave and non-millimeter-wave antennas and an electronic apparatus, the system comprising a millimeter-wave antenna module and a non-millimeter-wave environment, the millimeter-wave antenna module forming a communication connection with the non-millimeter-wave environment for realizing reusing of the millimeter-wave antenna module to achieve a function of non-millimeter-wave antenna(s). The present invention proposes directly reusing a millimeter-wave antenna module, which is designed so that this module also has an antenna function of a non-millimeter-wave module, while an individual module's own volume does not need to be increased, and the module itself does not need to have additionally-added antenna traces, that is, with the same volume, a function of non-millimeter-wave antenna(s) may be further added.

  • Publication number: 20210274458
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Location Platform (SLP) support a SUPL positioning session for at least one uplink or uplink-downlink position method, such as uplink Angle of Arrival or multi-Round Trip Time. To support SUPL positioning for uplink or uplink-downlink position methods, the UE provides an identifier for a serving Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and an identifier for the UE to the SLP in a SUPL message. The SLP may exchange positioning messages with a serving base station for the UE using the identifier for the serving AMF and the identifier for the UE. The exchange of positioning messages may enable the SLP to request the serving base station to instigate transmission of uplink positioning reference signals by the UE which may be a key enabler for an uplink or uplink-downlink position method.

  • Patent number: 11081038
    Abstract: A data driving circuit proofed against excessive pixel brightness because of overvoltage on the data line comprises a shift register circuit, a first latch circuit, a second latch circuit, a level shift circuit, a DAC circuit, and an output circuit. The second latch circuit detects a change in the MSB of the data signal of a sampled signal, and outputs a signal for applying a pre-operation of the current data line. When the MSB of the sampled signal is changed, the second latch circuit outputs a pre-operation enabling signal, and whether the grayscale value of the current data line is within a specified region. If within the specified region, the second latch circuit outputs an invalid signal, and the pre-operation is disabled.
