  • Publication number: 20240162964
    Abstract: A method of spatial modulation using an antenna array including radiating elements having power amplifiers communicatively coupled thereto. An amplitude of an output signal to be formed in space is determined by the antenna array based on an input signal. Output amplitude levels for the radiating elements are determined based on the amplitude of the output signal and a current output amplitude level of the antenna array. The first signal(s) for a first subarray of the antenna array and the second signal(s) for a second subarray of the antenna array are generated based on the input signal. The output amplitude levels are assigned to the power amplifiers of the radiating elements. The first signal(s) are sent to radiating elements of the first subarray and the second signal(s) are sent to radiating elements of the second subarray for transmission therefrom to form a combined signal in space as the output signal.

The radio frequency device also has a transceiver that has a transmitter. The transceiver may detect a transmitter signal from the transmitter to an antenna in an initial tuning state and then determine whether the transmitter signal is stable. In response to the transmitter signal being stable, the transceiver may measuring the reflection coefficient parameters at the multifunctional tuner. Furthermore, the radio frequency device has a baseband controller that has a memory to store instructions and a processor to execute the instructions. The instructions cause the processor to determine an antenna impedance based on the reflection coefficient parameters, and in response to determining that the antenna impedance is greater than or less than a threshold antenna impedance, iteratively tune the antenna using the multifunctional tuner.
