Abstract: A communication device may include a millimeter wave (mm-wave) antenna array having antenna elements, a mm-wave element (e.g. lens), and one or more transceivers (e.g. first and second transceivers). The mm-wave lens may be configured to adjust the first beam and the second beam as the first and second beams pass through the mm-wave lens. The first transceiver can selectively couple to the antenna elements, the first transceiver being configured to drive a first selected antenna element of the antenna elements to transmit a beam from the selected first antenna element. The second transceiver may selectively couple to the antenna elements, the second transceiver being configured to drive a second selected antenna element of the antenna elements to transmit a second beam from the selected second antenna element.

Abstract: Systems and methods of reducing SNR and increasing bandwidth of received signals are disclosed. LNAs receive signals from an antenna via a common input matching network. The amplified signals are downconverted, filtered and digitized before being coherently combined at a DSP. Depending on the LO frequencies used by mixers in the different receiver paths, the combined signals reduce the SNR when the LO frequencies are the same by reducing the non-correlated noise introduced by the LNAs or increase the bandwidth processed when the LO frequencies are different. The bandwidths are contiguous or non-contiguous.

Abstract: An antenna module and communication device containing the antenna module are disclosed. The antenna module is disposed in a metal cavity. The antenna module includes a switched beam mm-wave antenna array having radiating elements separated by less than a wavelength of the radiating elements. The array is fed by a single transceiver chain. The array is disposed at the focal length of a low-profile mm-wave lens configured to steer the beam. A sub-10 GHz antenna is disposed closer to the opening of the cavity than the lens. The lens is a Fresnel Zone Plate lens having a focal length of less than about the wavelength of the beam, or a Saucer lens having shells of different refractive indexes and having a profile that is more than 6 times smaller than a Luneburg lens with a same focal length.

Abstract: A radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) configured to generate a synthesized clock includes a phase locked loop (PLL) configured to divide down a clock to a non-harmonic frequency; a plurality of multi-phase injection locked clock multipliers (ILCM) directly connected to a plurality of transceiver chains; wherein the PLL is further configured to distribute a divided down clock to at least one of the plurality of multi-phase ILCMs; wherein the plurality of multiphase ILCMs are configured to select a phase of and multiply the divided down clock to synthesize a desired harmonic frequency of the clock and suppress an undesired harmonic frequency of the clock.

Abstract: An antenna array architecture is provided for beamforming applications. The antenna array architecture facilitates a compact and wideband dual-polarized beam-switching antenna array architecture, which may be implemented in a cost-effective multi-layer PCB or package. The antenna array architecture is implemented as part of a package substrate having a number of layers. Each of the layers comprises various conductive elements such as conductive segments and/or traces that are disposed thereon in accordance with the respective antenna components.

Abstract: A transceiver may include a transmit path and a receive path that are each coupled to a radio frequency (RF) interface, and a self-interference canceller (SIC). The SIC is coupled between the transmit and the receive paths. The SIC is configured to cancel a self-interference signal from a received signal on the receive path based on a transmit signal on the transmit path.

Abstract: An apparatus can include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry to transmit and receive radio-frequency signals in a first communications band and in a second communications band. The apparatus can further include a diplexer coupled to the radio-frequency transceiver circuitry. The diplexer can have terminals connected to a first path that conveys the radio-frequency signals in the first communications band and a second path that conveys the radio-frequency signals in the second communications band. The diplexer terminals can also connect to a first switch interposed in the first path and a second switch interposed in the second path.
