Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods related to dual wideband antennas with arbitrary frequency ranges are provided. An example antenna structure includes a high-band patch antenna to wirelessly communicate a first signal in a first frequency band; a low-band patch antenna to wirelessly communicate a second signal in a second frequency band lower than the first frequency band, wherein the low-band patch antenna is stacked vertically below the high-band patch antenna and spaced apart from the high-band patch antenna by a dielectric substrate; a high-band excitation via electrically coupled to the high-band patch antenna; and a low-band excitation via electrically coupled to the low-band patch antenna, wherein the high-band excitation via is separate from the low-band excitation via.

Abstract: A depth estimation system can enhance depth estimation using brightness image. Light is projected onto an object. The object reflects at least a portion of the projected light. The reflected light is at least partially captured by an image sensor, which generates image data. The depth estimation system may use the image data to generate both a depth image and a brightness image. The image sensor includes a plurality of pixels, each of which is associated with two ADCs. The ADCs receive different analog signals from the pixel and outputs different digital signals. The depth estimation system may use the different digital signals to determine the brightness value of a brightness pixel of the brightness image. The ADCs may be associated with one or more other pixels. The pixel and the one or more other pixels may be arranged in a same column in an array of the image sensor.

Abstract: A system current sensor module can accurately sense or measure system current flowing through a sense current resistor by shunting current through a gain-setting resistor and using an amplifier to measure a resulting voltage, with an output transistor controlled by the amplifier controlling current through the gain setting resistor in a manner that tends to keep the amplifier inputs at the same voltage. The resistors can be thermally coupled to maintain similar temperatures when a system current is flowing. The thermal coupling can include conducting heat from a first resistor layer carrying the current sense resistor to a thermal cage layer located beyond a second resistor layer carrying the gain-setting resistor. This preserves accuracy, including during aging.

Abstract: High speed, high dynamic range SAR ADC method and architecture. The SAR DAC comparison method can make fewer comparisons with less charge/fewer capacitors. The architecture makes use of a modified top plate switching (TPS) DAC technique and therefore achieves very high-speed operation. The present disclosure proffers a unique SAR ADC method of input and reference capacitor DAC switching. This benefits in higher dynamic range, no external decoupling capacitory requirement, wide common mode range and overall faster operation due to the absence of mini-ADC.

Abstract: A reference signal generator circuit can be configured to provide a temperature-compensated voltage reference signal at an output node. The reference signal generator can include a diode-connected first FET device coupled between a supply node and the output node, and a flipped-gate transistor coupled between the output node and a reference node. The reference signal generator can include a bias current source configured to provide a bias current to the output node to adjust a current density in the flipped-gate transistor relative to a current density in the first transistor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for predicting failure of power switches and taking action based on the predictions. In an example, a method can include controlling the at least two parallel-connected power switches via a first driver and a second driver, the first a second driver responsive to a single command signal, measuring a failure characteristic of a first power switch, and disabling a first driver of the first power switch when the first failure characteristic exceeds a failure precursor threshold.

Abstract: A network node device of a communication network comprises physical (PHY) layer circuitry configured to transmit and receive data packets via a communication network; and processing circuitry connected to the PHY layer circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to encode a data packet for sending according to a first communication protocol for sending to a second network node during a specified communication time slot, initiate resending of the data packet when the second network node does not respond during a specified acknowledge time slot, and encode the data packet according to a second communication protocol for sending to the second network node for a last retry attempt of a finite number of retry attempts, wherein the time to send the data packet formatted in the second communication protocol extends into the specified acknowledge time slot.

Abstract: Axial magnetic flux sensors are described. The axial magnetic flux sensors comprise multiple substrates with conductive traces on them in some embodiments, and in other embodiments a single substrate or no substrate. When multiple substrates are provided, the substrates couple together such that the conductive traces connect to form a coil. The coil may be a continuous, multi-loop coil. When the substrates are coupled together, they may define an opening to accommodate a shaft or other piece of equipment.
