There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus comprising means for, when the apparatus is in idle mode, determining signal measurements for at least two antenna configurations of the apparatus, determining, based on the signal measurements, one of the at least two antenna configurations and performing a network attach procedure using the determined antenna configuration.

Method, apparatus and computer program

An apparatus includes an antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements. The antenna array includes one or more grouping of the plurality of antenna elements, configured to provide: a first configuration in which the one or more grouping of antenna elements supports at least transmission of a signal according to a first antenna system; and a second configuration in which the one or more grouping of antenna elements supports at least reception of a signal according to a second antenna system. The first antenna system includes a Single Input, Single Output antenna system or Multiple Input, Multiple Output antenna system. The second antenna system includes a Single Input, Single Output antenna system or Multiple Input, Multiple Output antenna system. An array of antenna elements can support different modes of operation, for example, different Multiple Input, Multiple Output modes or Multiple Input, Multiple Output and Single Input, Single Output modes.

The various aspects include co-located millimeter wave (mmWave) and near-field communication (NFC) antennas, scalable phased array radio transceiver architecture (SPARTA), phased array distributed communication system with MIMO support and phase noise synchronization over a single coax cable, communicating RF signals over cable (RFoC) in a distributed phased array communication system, clock noise leakage reduction, IF-to-RF companion chip for backwards and forwards compatibility and modularity, on-package matching networks, 5G scalable receiver (Rx) architecture, among others.

Wireless communication technology, apparatuses, and methods

A circuit includes a sensing circuit for a first antenna and a second antenna, the sensing circuit including an adjustable characteristic that is based on a proximity of an object to the first or second antenna used to transmit a transmit signal. An evaluation circuit is coupled to the sensing circuit. The evaluation circuit is configured to monitor the characteristic of the sensing circuit and to determine whether the characteristic fulfills a predetermined criterion.

Waveguide antenna structure

Embodiments relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media to enable a wireless communication device. In one embodiment a wireless communication device is configured to radiate a millimeter wave signal through a circular waveguide. A patch antenna is resonated in a Transverse Magnetic 1-0 (TM10) operating mode and electrically couples to an open end of the circular waveguide. The electric field pattern of the patch antenna is such that the millimeter wave signal is launched into the waveguide propagating in a Transverse Electric 1-1 (TE11) mode. In other embodiments, various other configurations may be used as described herein.

Apparatus and method for transmission of millimeter wave signals

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) to perform tuning of a tunable antenna may comprise baseband circuitry and radio frequency (RF) circuitry. The baseband circuitry may determine an indication of throughput performance of a tunable antenna for the UE while the tunable antenna is in a first state. The RF circuitry may select a second state for the tunable antenna based on the indication of throughput performance for the tunable antenna. The second state may be selected to improve throughput performance of a data stream for the UE. The RF circuitry may also generate a control signal to transition the tunable antenna to the second state.

Technology for impedance matching with a re-configurable coil arrangement of multiple transmitter coils of an electronic device is described. One electronic device includes a wireless transmitter coupled to a power supply and an impedance matching circuit coupled to output terminals of the wireless transmitter. First switching circuitry of the impedance matching circuit, in response to a first control signal, is to switch either a first transmitter coil or a first conductive path in series between the output terminals. Second switching circuitry of the impedance matching circuit, in response to a second control signal, is to switch either a second transmitter coil or a second conductive path in series between the output terminals. The first transmitter and first conductive path have the same impedance and the second transmitter and the second conductive path have the same impedance.
