A method comprising: retrieving a predefined power threshold; determining a transmission power of a transmitting antenna, wherein the transmitting antenna is actively transmitting a signal; retrieving a predefined transmission time interval; determining that the transmission power exceeds the predefined power threshold; determining a duration of transmitting the signal; comparing the duration with the predefined transmission time interval; and switching transmitting the signal from the transmitting antenna to a further antenna when the duration equals the predefined transmission time interval.

Antenna hopping for specific absorption rate (SAR) reduction

An apparatus comprises a circuit board comprising a connector in or on the circuit board. The apparatus is to be coupled to a bus via the connector. The apparatus comprises first circuitry to communicate with a processor via the connector and bus, second circuitry to detect a utilization state of the first circuitry, determine, based on the detected utilization state of the first circuitry, a level of current to be conducted with the connector; and generate a signal indicating of whether the level of current exceeds a threshold current capacity of the connector, and third circuitry to select a first operational mode from among multiple operational modes. The first circuitry is to operate in any of the multiple operational modes responsive to the third circuitry. Additional circuitry may be provided to identify a voltage level capability of the apparatus and to configure voltage level shifting circuitry connected to the bus.

Transmission line embedded in a portion of a chassis of an electronic device

A wireless device includes a voltage regulator circuit configured to generate a voltage signal of a first input voltage, and a wireless baseband processing circuitry (WBPC) coupled to the voltage regulator circuit to receive the voltage signal. The WBPC is configured to process signals for transmission or reception using wireless technology. The WBPC includes a sub-system processor circuit configured to detect a wireless bandwidth of an application executing on an application processor of the wireless device; determine a second input voltage based on the wireless bandwidth of the application and a maximum voltage supported by the WBPC; and encode a feedback signal for communication to the voltage regulator circuit. The feedback signal causes adjustment of the voltage signal to the second input voltage.
