Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may receive a configuration indicating a parameter of a signal to be optimized for a portion of a frequency range. The wireless node may transform a feedback signal and a reference signal into a frequency domain. The wireless node may generate an error signal based at least in part on transforming the feedback signal and the reference signal. The wireless node may assign weights to the error signal to generate a weighted error signal. The weights may be assigned to the error signal in the portion of the frequency range and a remaining portion of the frequency range according to the configuration. The wireless node may transmit the signal based at least in part on utilizing the weighted error signal to apply digital pre-distortion to the signal. Numerous other aspects are described.

Weighted error optimization for digital pre-distortion

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide object detection based on perturbations in a channel model over time. An example portable apparatus includes a primary antenna, a secondary antenna, a transmit path, a radio frequency (RF) coupler, and a receive path. The transmit path is coupled to the primary antenna and configured to output a transmit signal for transmission via the primary antenna. The RF coupler is coupled to the secondary antenna. The receive path has an input selectively coupled between the transmit path and the RF coupler such that when the receive path is coupled to the RF coupler and configured to operate concurrently with the transmit path, the receive path is configured to receive a reflected portion of the transmit signal from an object located in proximity to the portable apparatus.

Proximity detection

Certain aspects of the present disclosure introduce transmit chain asymmetry to meet tighter specifications of a band on one side of a spectrum while sacrificing emissions margin of a band on the opposite side of the spectrum. One example apparatus generally includes a distortion module configured to generate an input signal, and an amplifier coupled to the distortion module and configured to generate an amplified signal based on the input signal. In certain aspects, the input signal is generated such that a power of the amplified signal at a first bandwidth is skewed relative to a power of the amplified signal at a second bandwidth, the first and second bandwidths being adjacent to a main channel bandwidth of the amplified signal.
