  • Patent number: 11923919
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure facilitate assessment of radio frequency (RF) exposure from a wireless device supporting multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions using multiple antennas. In certain aspects, MIMO RF exposure distributions for one or more MIMO transmissions are determined and stored in a memory. To assess RF exposure for a MIMO transmission, a processor may retrieve the corresponding MIMO RF exposure distributions from the memory, linearly combine the MIMO RF exposure distributions to obtain a combined MIMO RF exposure distribution, and assess RF exposure compliance based on the combined MIMO RF exposure distribution. In one example, the MIMO RF exposure distribution may include MIMO specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions.

  • Patent number: 11924964
    Abstract: Devices and methods are described for reducing etching due to Galvanic Effect within a printed circuit board (PCB) that may be used in an electronic device. Specifically, a contact trace is coupled to a contact finger that has a substantially larger surface area than the contact trace. The contact finger is configured to couple the electronic device to a host device. The contact trace is electrically isolated from the rest of the PCB circuitry during a fabrication process by a separation distance between an exposed portion of the contact trace and an impedance trace. The contact finger and the exposed portion of the contact trace are plated with a common material to reduce galvanic etching of the contact trace during fabrication. The contact trace is then connected to the impedance trace using a solder joint.
