AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL
A method of operating a radio receiver device comprises receiving a plurality of signals with a plurality of corresponding frequencies; applying respective gains to each of the plurality of signals; and storing the gain applied to each signal and its corresponding frequency. The method comprises subsequently receiving a further signal with a further frequency; and applying a further gain to the further signal. The further gain is determined using at least one of the stored gains according to a difference between the further frequency and at least one of the plurality of corresponding frequencies.
Method and Apparatus to Optimize Power Clamping
A clamping circuit that may be used to provide efficient and effective voltage clamping in an RF front end. The clamping circuit comprises two series coupled signal path switches and a bypass switch coupled in parallel with the series coupled signal path switches. A diode is coupled from a point between the series coupled signal path switches to a reference potential. In addition, an output selection switch within an RF front end has integrated voltage clamping to more effectively clamp the output voltage from the RF front end. Additional output clamping circuits can be used at various places along a direct gain signal path, along an attenuated gain path and along a bypass path.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING BALANCE IN SOLID-STATE RF AND MICROWAVE POWER AMPLIFIERS
This application is generally related to methods for improving performance in a system. One of the methods may include a step of determining whether absorbed power in a system meets a predetermined threshold. The absorbed power may be based upon first and second Walsh codes transmitted to each of first and second gain and phase modulators in the system. The first Walsh code may be orthogonal to the second Walsh code. A first set of the first and second Walsh codes may be inverted with respect to a second set of the first and second Walsh codes. The method may also include a step of modulating the absorbed power in view of the determination. The method may further include a step of transmitting feedback based upon the modulated power to the first and second gain and phase modulators.

Decoder for wireless charging transmitter and wireless charging transmitter using the same
A decoder for a wireless charging transmitter and a wireless charging transmitter using the same are provided in the present invention. In order to adapt the wide range of the received signal from the wireless charging receiver, which usually results in the error of the decode, the feedback circuit of the wireless charging transmitter is changed, so that the signal in a certain swing is amplified by an original gain, and the signal out of the certain swing is amplified by a limited gain. Therefore, the amplified signal is able to show the characteristic of the original received signal. Thus, the accuracy of decoding is increased.
