    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a compact bypass and decoupling structure that can be used in a millimeter-wave radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC). For example, according to various aspects, an RFIC incorporating the compact bypass and decoupling structure may comprise a grounded substrate, a mid-metal ground plane, a bypass capacitor disposed between the grounded substrate and the mid-metal ground plane, and a decoupling inductor disposed over the mid-metal ground plane. The bypass capacitor may close a current loop in the RFIC and the decoupling inductor may provide damping in a supply network associated with the RFIC. Furthermore, the decoupling conductor may have a self-resonance substantially close to an operating band associated with the RFIC to increase series isolation, introduce substrate losses that facilitate the damping in the supply network, and prevent high-Q resonances.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for autonomous receive (RX) detection. One example method for wireless communications generally includes powering down a portion of a receive path in a first module; detecting, in a second module comprising another portion of the receive path, that a radio frequency (RF) signal has been received by the second module while the portion of the receive path in the first module is powered down; and sending a control signal to power up the portion of the receive path in the first module, based on the detection.
