Provided herein are apparatus and methods for radio frequency signal boosters for cellular and broadcast television signals with Wi-Fi signals transmission function. Cell phone, Wi-Fi, and broadcast television signals are boosted and retransmitted over a shared antenna or over more than one antenna. In certain implementations, a multi-band signal booster is configured to provide signal path gain to at least three signal paths: a first signal path configured to receive a first time division duplexed Wi-Fi signal, a second signal path configured to receive a first frequency division duplexed mobile or cellular signal, and a second signal path configured to receive a broadcast television signal.

Methods for performing power management of a multi-interface transponder (MIT) device, e.g., such as positional tag device. The MIT device may transition between various power states, e.g., based on detected events, such as detecting movement of the MIT device, receiving a wakeup signal, receiving an indication of a transition in transportation mode, and/or detecting that the MIT device may be lost, such as based on a lack of contact with another device for more than a threshold period of time.

A radio-frequency module is able to simultaneously communicate a signal of a first communication band and a signal of a second communication band and does not simultaneously communicate a signal of the first communication band and a signal of a third communication band. The radio-frequency module includes a mounting substrate, a filter, a filter, and a filter. The filter is provided on the mounting substrate and has the first communication band as the pass band thereof.

An RF imaging receiver using photonic spatial beam processing is provided with an optical beam steerer that directs the modulated optical signals to steer the composite optical signal and move the location of the spot on the optical detector array. The optical beam steerer may be implemented with one or more phase-dependent steering units in which each unit includes a waveplate and polarization grating to steer the modulated optical signals. The optical beam steerer may be configured to act on the individual modulated optical signals to induce individual phase delays that produce a phase delay with a linear term, and possibly spherical or aspherical terms, to steer the composite optical signal in which case the optical beam steerer may be implemented, for example, with an optical phase modulator and optical antenna in each optical channel which together form an OPA, a Risley prism or a liquid crystal or MEMs spatial light modulator.
