Abstract: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same are described. One apparatus includes a processing device that executes an active interference cancellation (AIC) algorithm and radio frequency front-end (RFFE) circuitry coupled to the processing device. The RFFE circuitry includes two RF couplers, a fixed-delay filter, and an interference compensation circuit part of an electrical path between the two RF couplers. The AIC algorithm is operable to control the interference compensation circuit to adjust a phase, an amplitude or both of a copy of a first RF signal transmitted on a first antenna to remove corresponding interference in a second RF signal received at a second antenna that is caused by the first RF signal. The processing device triggers a re-calibration in the AIC algorithm when the digital values, received from a power detector circuit, indicate a change in impedance that exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: A wideband antenna apparatus including a harmonically suppressed low band antenna is provided. The low band antenna is configured as a folded monopole antenna with patch coupling for resonance in a first frequency band. A patch portion of the low band antenna is widely separated from a folded feed portion of the low band antenna to avoid slot resonances above the first frequency band. The patch portion is relatively large to avoid folding of the patch portion that could introduce resonances above the first frequency band. The wideband antenna apparatus may also include a high band antenna proximate with the low band antenna. The high band antenna may be a folded monopole patch coupled antenna configured for resonating in a second frequency band. The high band antenna may optionally be configured like the low band antenna to suppress resonances of the high band antenna above the second frequency band.

Abstract: Technologies directed to a wireless device with RF port impedance detection using concurrent radios are described. One wireless device includes an impedance detection circuit with a bi-directional RF coupler and switching circuitry. A processing device at least two radios, at least two RF ports, and an impedance detection circuit. The impedance detection circuit is configured to measure a first receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) value of a first reflected signal. The first reflected signal corresponding to a first signal sent by one of the at least two radios. The impedance detection circuit determines that the first RSSI value exceeds a threshold. The threshold represents an impedance mismatch condition at or beyond at least one of the two RF ports. The processing device sends a first indicative of the impedance mismatch condition to a second device.

Abstract: Technologies directed to cable-loss compensation are described. An apparatus includes a triplexer, a front-end module (FEM) circuit, and a control circuit. The triplexer is coupled to a radio frequency (RF) cable. The triplexer receives a first RF signal and a DC power signal from a device via the RF cable and sends a detection signal being indicative of a transmit power level of the first RF signal to the device via the RF cable. The transmit power level includes an insertion loss of the RF cable. The FEM circuit is coupled to the triplexer and includes a power amplifier (PA). The control circuit is coupled to the triplexer and measures the transmit power level of the first RF signal and converts the first RF signal into the detection signal. The control circuit sends the detection signal back to the device via the RF cable and enables the PA.

One method of the wireless device includes receiving a first RF signal via an antenna and converting the first RF signal to a multiple samples using a sampling rate, each sample including a digital value of a decibel-scaled output voltage.

Abstract: Technology for a bi-directional radio frequency front-end (RFFE) architecture with high selectivity performance is described. One RFFE has a first mixer that receives a LO signal from the LO circuit and a transmit (TX) signal, having a first frequency, from a transmitter and produces a down-converted TX signal for channel bandwidth filtering, the TX signal having a second frequency that is lower than the first frequency. A programmable filter circuit, in response to a selection signal, filters the down-converted TX signal according to a selected channel bandwidth. The second mixer receives the LO signal from the LO circuit and a channel-filtered TX signal from the programmable filter circuit and produces an up-converted TX signal having the first frequency. The power amplifier amplifies the up-converted TX signal to produce an output TX signal to cause an antenna to radiate electromagnetic energy in the selected channel bandwidth.
