Electronic device for receiving multiband GNSS signal
An electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a housing that includes a first plate, a second plate facing away from the first plate, and a side member surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate and including a first conductive region and a second conductive region electrically separated from the first conductive region, a wireless communication circuitry that is disposed within the space, transmits/receives a first signal in a first frequency band ranging from 1.4 GHz to 6 GHz by using the first conductive region, and transmits/receives a second signal in a second frequency band ranging from 0.6 GHz to 1.4 GHz by using the second conductive region, and a GNSS receiver circuitry that is disposed within the space, receives a third signal in a third frequency band ranging from 1559 MHz to 1610 MHz by using the first conductive region, and receives a fourth signal in a fourth frequency band ranging from 1164 MHz to 1189 MHz by using the second conductive region. Moreover, various embodiment found through the present disclosure are possible.
Receiver-transmitter impedance co-matching method using bondwires
Semiconductor chips are made increasingly smaller, thanks to improved design techniques and process scaling. Sometimes the bottleneck is not the chip itself but the package size due to many necessary pins. To help reduce the number of package pins, the chip should use less pins by sharing or reusing pins if possible. Therefore, single-ended RF input/output is used for transceiver, and the same pin is shared between RX and TX. A receiver (RX)-transmitter (TX) impedance co-matching method uses multiple bondwires for transceivers sharing one input/output (I/O) pin between RX and TX. The RX input impedance and TX output impedance are transformed closer to each other or even to the same impedance, which makes it possible to get the best RX and TX performance with just one matching network. The chip area is also saved without using on-chip inductors.

WIRELESS DEVICES AND SYSTEMS INCLUDING EXAMPLES OF COMPENSATING POWER AMPLIFIER NOISE WITH NEURAL NETWORKS OR RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORKS
Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for nonlinear power amplifier noise to generate compensated input data. In compensating the noise, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide amplified input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate filter coefficient data associated with the power amplifier noise. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the amplified input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

MULTI-PATH AND JAMMING RESISTANT 5G MM-WAVE BEAMFORMER ARCHITECTURES
A phased array beamformer circuit connectible to an array of antenna elements has RF input/output ports, and splitter-combiners with a combined port and one or more split ports. Transmit/receive circuits are connected to the split ports and to the antenna elements of the array. The transmit/receive circuits have transmit chain and a receive chain, with power sense circuits connected thereto that output reception power level signals corresponding to detected power levels of signals through the receive chain. Gain controllers connected to each of the receive chains and to the power sense circuits adjust the gain of the receive chains based upon control signals outputted thereby.

WIRELESS RADIO SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION BY PERSISTENT SPECTRUM ANALYSIS
Apparatuses and methods for simultaneously operating as a wireless radio and monitoring the local frequency spectrum. For example, described herein are wireless radio devices that use a secondary receiver to monitor frequencies within the operating band and prevent or avoid interferers, including in particular half-IF interferers. The systems, devices, and methods described herein may adjust the intermediate frequency in a superheterodyne receiver to select an intermediate frequency that minimizes interference. In particular, described herein are apparatuses and methods that use a second receiver which is independent of the first receiver and may be connected to the same receiving antenna to monitor the geographically local frequency spectrum and may detect spurious interferers, allowing the primary receiver to adjust the intermediate frequency and avoid spurious interferes.
