Publication number: 20200227811Abstract: An RF transceiver device, for use in an RF system, includes a chip package comprising one or more circuit components, a signal cable, and an antenna block. The signal cable is configured to carry signals sent to the chip package or received from the chip package. The signal cable has a first surface and a second surface. The chip package is directly coupled to the first surface of the signal cable. The antenna block comprises one or more antennas and is directly coupled to the second surface of the signal cable. By directly coupling the chip package and antenna block to the signal cable, bulky connectors are no longer needed thus reducing the total footprint of the transceiver device and increasing signal fidelity. The arrangement may be integrated with, for example, a PCB or a communication system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2019Publication date: July 16, 2020Applicant: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: SIDHARTH DALMIA, JONATHAN C. JENSEN, TRANG THAI, OZGUR INAC

Publication number: 20200203834Abstract: Techniques for fabricating end-fire antennas are described. An example of an electronic device with an end-fire antenna includes a housing of the electronic device, and a circuit board comprising electronic components of the mobile electronic device. The circuit board is parallel with the major plane of the housing. The electronic device includes an antenna coupled to the circuit board. At least a portion of the antenna is oriented perpendicular to the first circuit board to generate a radiation pattern with an amplitude that is greater in the end-fire direction compared to the broadside direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2017Publication date: June 25, 2020Applicant: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Omer Asaf, Sidharth Dalmia, Trang Thai, Josef Hagn, Richard S. Perry, Jonathan C. Jensen, Raanan Sover

Patent number: 10674374Abstract: Apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to provide improved, dynamic wireless spectrum analysis in a healthcare environment are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes radios to capture wireless signal information in an environment. The example apparatus includes a processor to activate and configure one or more of the radios according to a center frequency and/or a bandwidth to capture wireless signal information associated with the center frequency and/or bandwidth. The example processor is to generate a model of wireless signal activity based on the captured wireless signal information. The example model is to facilitate testing of a device according to the wireless signal activity in the environment. The example apparatus is to be portable to be positioned in the environment to capture the wireless signal information in the environment according to the one or more radios activated and configured by the processor for the environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: S M Hasan, Paulo Rodrigues Ferreira, Tuomas Laine, Trang Thai, Kevin Dufel

Patent number: 9804260Abstract: A sensor has a strip resonator filter that energizes an emitter patch which emits an electric field out from the strip resonator filter (away from the strip resonator filter). The capacitance of the filter, or specifically the coupling capacitance and radiation pattern of the slotted patch, is altered when an object such as a finger is near the sensor. Resulting changes in a signal outputted by the filter can be used to determine how close the object is to the sensor. The strip resonator filter may be a half wavelength strip resonator coupled filter having three separate strips. The patch may have a slot and two accompanying strips. An arrangement of multiple sensors may detect the position of an object in two or three dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gerald DeJean, Trang Thai
