Abstract: The present invention discloses an ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna and ultra-wideband cross-polarized array antenna, including a substrate, and a first polarized antenna and a second polarized antenna provided in the substrate and orthogonal to each other. The ultra-wideband cross-polarized antenna has a simple structure, is easy to produce and is able to solve challenging bandwidth issues, cross-polarized port isolation issues, and beam scanning range issues in 5G millimeter wave array antennas.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation techniques. Some embodiments of the disclosure provide for estimating radio propagation path parameters based on a training signal received over a set of active frequencies. The radio propagation path parameters (e.g., fading coefficients for each path) are used to reconstruct a channel frequency response on null frequencies (e.g., frequencies that did not include or carry the received training signal). A time-of-arrival parameter can then be estimated based on the estimated channel frequency response and the reconstructed channel frequency response (e.g., the channel frequency response estimated using both active frequencies and null frequencies).

Abstract: One or more aspects of the techniques and models described herein provide for bidirectional recurrent neural network (BiRNN)-based digital pre-distortion techniques for radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs). As an example, a digital pre-distorter (DPD) system may implement residual learning and long short-term memory (LSTM) projection layer features to reduce computational complexity and memory requirements. Implementing the described unconventional techniques of applying residual learning in RNN (e.g., in BiLSTM), using LSTM projection to develop a DPD structure, or both, may provide several advantages over preexisting techniques. For instance, the complexity in training and pre-distortion may be reduced and significantly less memory may be required to store the DPD neural network coefficients (e.g., while achieving similar or better linearization performance compared to other LSTM models). Further, faster training convergence speed may be achieved (e.g., compared to other LSTM models).

Abstract: A dual-band cross-polarized antenna includes first and second metal layers defining respective first and second driven patches configured to radiate at different frequencies, first and second feed pins connecting a first feed line to the first driven patch at respective first and second feed points thereof associated with orthogonal polarizations, and third and fourth feed pins connecting a second feed line to the second driven patch at first and second feed points thereof associated with orthogonal polarizations. The third feed pin extends through a first hole in the first driven patch to capacitively couple the third feed pin to the first driven patch. The fourth feed pin extends through a second hole in the first driven patch to capacitively couple the fourth feed pin to the first driven patch. Two or more antenna elements are arranged as a phased array antenna and packaged as an antenna module.

Abstract: A method for detecting a modification, due to an interferer, of a wireless channel between a transmitting device and a receiving device. First and second samples of channel frequency response (CFR) of the wireless channel are measured within a time interval less than or equal to a pre-established static time interval throughout which the wireless channel is expected to exhibit a static characteristic in an environment without any interferer. An interferer is detected to have modified the wireless channel when a similarity condition reflecting a degree of similarity between the first and second CFR samples is not satisfied.
