An apparatus may include a multi-throw switch having a common terminal connected to an antenna of a wireless communication system. The multi-throw switch may be configured to direct signals received from the antenna between (1) an amplification path that connects a receive terminal of the multi-throw switch to a receiver of the wireless communication system and (2) at least one bypass path that connects an additional receive terminal of the multi-throw switch to the receiver. The amplification path may include at least one amplifier that amplifies signals received from the antenna, and the bypass path may have a gain that is less than a gain of the amplification path. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

Apparatus and method for bypassing amplifiers used to amplify signals received by wireless communication systems

An apparatus includes a phase delay module that is configured to receive a set of signals from an antenna assembly having a horizontal polarization element and an elliptical polarization element. The horizontal polarization element and the elliptical polarization element are collectively configured to receive the set of signals over a coverage area. The phase delay module is configured to determine (1) a signal strength of a first signal from the set of signals received via the horizontal polarization element and (2) a signal strength of a second signal from the set of signals received via the elliptical polarization element. The phase delay module is configured to send a combined signal including (1) the first signal and (2) the second signal having a phase delay if the signal strength of the first signal is higher than the signal strength of the second signal.

Methods and apparatus for multi-polarization antenna systems

Apparatus, methods, and systems for coupling a cable to a printed circuit board are described herein. In some embodiments, a portion of a cable clamp is configured to be crimped about a cable having an inner conductor and an outer conductor, such as a coaxial cable. The cable clamp can have a projection configured to be inserted into an opening of a printed circuit board. The cable clamp can be configured to be fixedly coupled, for example, soldered, to the printed circuit board.
