Abstract: A navigation device includes a display, an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) receiver, and one or more processors operatively coupled to the display and the EMR receiver. The one or more processors are configured to cause the display, in a first mode of operation, to graphically render a navigation view. The navigation view includes (i) a first informational element relating to a geographic location of the navigation device and (ii) one or both of a compass rose and a geographic map. The one or more processors are further configured to cause the display, in a second mode of operation and responsive to receiving an EMR signal via the EMR receiver, to render an informational view including a second informational element, where the informational view at least partially obscures the navigation view.

Abstract: A first transmit path, a second transmit path, and a third transmit path are disclosed. The first transmit path includes a first radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA) and alpha switching circuitry, which is coupled to an output from the first RF PA. The second transmit path includes a second RF PA and beta switching circuitry, which is coupled to an output from the second RF PA. The third transmit path includes a third RF PA.

Abstract: This application reduces the power of series combined transformers and of parallel combined transformers while maintaining efficiency. In one embodiment, a series combined transformer is provided with a switch between a first primary inductor and a second primary inductor, in order to provide at least two modes. In a high power mode, the switch is open and the series combined transformer operates normally. In a low power mode, the switch is closed, one amplifier from a first differential amplifier pair is shut down, one amplifier from a second differential pair is shut down, and the series combined transformer operates efficiently in a low power mode.
