A single stage unequal power combiner is proposed. Instead of conventional combiner plus impedance transformer of 2-stage unequal combiner, the single stage combiner gets rid of the input impedance transformer. The single stage combiner supports adjustable transmission line impedance and reasonable mismatch loss, assuming that the power ratio of the input signals is within a certain range. The single stage combiner also has an adjustable isolation resistor for different power ratios. A structure of switchable branch characteristic impedance, switchable isolation resistor for the unequal combiner is proposed as the preferred embodiment. In one advantageous aspect, broader coverage angle in a single array module can be realized via an antenna diversity switch.

Radio Frequency (RF) amplifier design with RFIC suffers gain variations from gain variations due to wafer process variations, temperature changes, and supply voltage changes. Three methods are proposed to achieve constant amplifier gain, either through on-chip wafer calibration, or self-calibration. Through automatic adjustment of amplifier bias current, the proposed methods maintain constant amplifier gain over process, temperature, supply voltage variations. Under the proposed Method 1, a constant transconductance Gm with enhanced gain accuracy is maintained via wafer calibration. Under the proposed Method 2, a constant transconductance Gm is maintained by time-domain averaging through different transistors. Under the proposed Method 3, a constant Gm*R or RF gain is maintained considering the impedance of a matching network of the RF amplifier.

Constant gain and self-calibration technique for RF amplifier

A low-cost implementation and a simplified digital signal control and synchronization for a multi-beam phased-array antenna is proposed. In a preferred embodiment, the multi-beam phased array antenna is implemented with a stack-up comprises 1) an antenna substrate aperture containing embedded antenna elements and a third layer of the signal combiner/divider and distribution network, 2) interposer substrate providing a second layer of the signal combiner/divider and distribution network and the carrier of BPU ICs, and 3) the BPU ICs containing the plurality of phased-array frontend processing unit and a first layer of the signal combiner/divider and distribution unit. In one advantageous aspect, the invention is to combine the third layer of the signal combiner/divider and distribution network with the antenna onto the same substrate, eliminating the use of expensive miniature high frequency connectors.

A system substantially updates all the phase shifter values of a phased array antenna by using two 'global writes' to update these parameters to all phased-array transformation circuits simultaneously via a serial bus. Antenna elements, each controlled by a phased-array transformation circuit, are individually configured to transform phase and gain according to a register array. The register array has a local register group and a central register group, the local registers physically placed close in proximity to RF chains which each correspond to an element of array antenna, whereby each set of local registers control an individual antenna element and a central register controlling overall beam steering function. Gain values are hierarchically distributed. The apparatus is configured to efficiently elaborate phase shift weights into a submodule of a phase array antenna system with low noise and bandwidth.

A computer-implemented technique is described for using an automation tool to facilitate the preparation of a summary document, such as an expense report. In a first data path, a receipt-processing component generates receipt items based on images of physical receipts that a user captures using a camera. In a second data path, one or more transaction-processing systems forward transaction items to the automation tool upon their capture; the transaction items correspond to electronic records of transactions made by the user. The technique then generates a set of receipt-transaction (R-T) pairings by matching pairs of receipt items and transaction items that describe the same respective transactions. The technique then uses context information to supplement the R-T pairings, and generates a summary document that summarizes transactions made by the user based on the supplemented R-T pairings. In one case, the context information corresponds to calendar information specified in a user's electronic calendar.

Automatically processing a stream of transaction items based on image and calendar information

In one embodiment, a memory that is delineated into transparent and non-transparent portions. The transparent portion may be controlled by a control unit coupled to the memory, along with a corresponding tag memory. The non-transparent portion may be software controlled by directly accessing the non-transparent portion via an input address. In an embodiment, the memory may include a decoder configured to decode the address and select a location in either the transparent or non-transparent portion. Each request may include a non-transparent attribute identifying the request as either transparent or non-transparent. In an embodiment, the size of the transparent portion may be programmable. Based on the non-transparent attribute indicating transparent, the decoder may selectively mask bits of the address based on the size to ensure that the decoder only selects a location in the transparent portion.

A host processor controls an apparatus by updating all the phase shifter values of a phased array antenna by using 'global write' to update these parameters to all phased-array transformation circuits simultaneously via a serial bus. Antenna elements, each controlled by a phased-array transformation circuit, are individually configured to transform phase and gain according to a register array. The register array has a local register group and a central register group, the local registers physically placed close in proximity to RF chains which each correspond to an element of array antenna, whereby each set of local registers control an individual antenna element and a central register controlling overall beam steering function. The apparatus is transformed by the host efficiently elaborating phase shift weights into a submodule of a phase array antenna system with low noise and bandwidth. The host triggers reuse of phase and gain when it can.

To suggest new connections to a user of a social networking system, the system generates a set of candidate users to whom the user has not already formed a connection. The system determines the likelihood that the user will connect to each candidate user if suggested to do so, and it also computes the value to the social networking system if the user does connect to the candidate user. Then, the system computes an expected value score for each candidate user based on the corresponding likelihood and the value. The candidate users are ranked and the suggestions are provided to the user based on the candidate users' expected value scores. The social networking system can suggest other actions to a user in addition to forming a new connection with other users.
