  • Publication number: 20210194459
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed implementing acoustic wave resonator (AWR) filter architectures to enable integrated solutions requiring significantly less passive components. The primary AWR filter topology leverages the use of parallel resonator branches, each having a relatively narrow bandwidth that may be combined to form an overall broadband filter response. This architecture may be further modified using electronically-controlled switching components to dynamically turn specific branches on or off to tune the filter, thus realizing a programmable broadband solution. Shunt resonators may also be added to the AWR filter topology, which may also be controlled with the use of electronically-controlled switching components to provide further control with respect to roll-off and the location and number of notch frequencies.

  • Patent number: 9997290
    Abstract: Embodiments of a variable inductor and a communication device are generally described herein. The variable inductor may comprise a signal wire and a control wire to receive a direct current (DC) control current. The variable inductor may further comprise a magnetic material integrated with the signal wire and the control wire. When a DC control current applied to the control wires takes a first current value, an inductance between an input node and an output node on the signal wire may take a first inductance value. When the DC control current takes a second current value, the inductance between the input node and the output node may take a second inductance value.

  • Patent number: 9887716
    Abstract: A method and system for self-interference cancellation in a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device can include a first interference detector, a second interference detector, an interference canceler, and a controller. The first interference detector can be configured to detect interference in a received signal. The interference canceler can be configured to perform one or more interference cancellation processes on the received signal. The second interference detector can be configured to detect interference remaining in an interference canceled signal processed by the interference canceler. The controller can be configured to enable or disable the interference canceler based on the detection of the first and/or the second interference detectors.

  • Patent number: 9766121
    Abstract: The present application discloses device and system embodiments that address mobile device integration considerations for various categories of UV sensors, including cameras, photodiodes, and chemical sensors. The UV sensors may use the functionalities of the existing in-built sensors in conventional mobile devices, and/or integrate additional components specific to UV sensing. By optimally positioning the sensors, UV sensing and other collateral functionalities (e.g., charging a photovoltaic cell integrated with the mobile device) can be realized in parallel.
