Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to radio frequency (RF) amplification devices and methods of operating the same. In one embodiment, an RF amplification device includes an RF amplification circuit and a stabilizing transformer network. The RF amplification circuit defines an RF signal path and is configured to amplify an RF signal propagating in the RF signal path. The stabilizing transformer network is operably associated with the RF signal path defined by the RF amplification circuit. Furthermore, the stabilizing transformer network is configured to reduce parasitic coupling along the RF signal path of the RF amplification circuit as the RF signal propagates in the RF signal path. In this manner, the stabilizing transformer network allows for inexpensive components to be used to reduce parasitic coupling while allowing for smaller distances along the RF signal path.

Abstract: A test system for testing an antenna tuning element is provided. The test system may include a tester, a test fixture, and a probing structure. The probing structure may include probe tips configured to mate with corresponding solder bumps formed on a device under test (DUT) containing an antenna tuning element. The DUT may be tested in a shunt or series configuration. The tester may be electrically coupled to the test probe via first and second connectors on the test fixture. An adjustable load circuit that is coupled to the second connector may be configured in a selected state so that a desired amount of electrical stress may be presented to the DUT during testing. The tester may be used to obtain measurement results on the DUT. Systematic effects associated with the test structures may be de-embedded from the measured results to obtain calibrated results.

Abstract: A multi-slope handoff algorithm for controlling dynamic communication quality in wireless communications is proposed to let a mobile node adjust the handoff slope according to different communication connection situations for setting the optimum add/drop connection trigger thresholds. The algorithm comprises the following steps. First, a mobile node receives pilot strengths of its service pilot and nearby pilots to produce an aggregate strength. Next, the mobile node determines whether to perform handoff according to the magnitude of the aggregate strength. The handoff action is then controlled by multi-slope handoff operations to set an appropriate slope and to calculate the add/drop connection trigger thresholds when performing handoff. Finally, the pilot to be connected is selected based on the communication quality at that time. In this way, the quality of the communication service can be enhanced, the connection power consumption can be lowered, and the communication channel usage can be reduced.
