Electronic circuitry, system, base station, mobile device and method
An electronic circuitry is proposed. The electronic circuitry comprises a directional coupler comprising a first port configured to receive an input signal from a signal source, a second port configured to output the input signal for transmission to a load, a third port configured to output a forward signal based on the input signal, and a fourth port configured to output a reverse signal based on a reflection of the input signal received at the second port. The electronic circuitry further comprises a Time-to-Digital converter, TDC, coupled to the third port and the fourth port. The TDC is configured to determine a phase difference between the forward signal and the reverse signal.
