The various aspects include co-located millimeter wave (mmWave) and near-field communication (NFC) antennas, scalable phased array radio transceiver architecture (SPARTA), phased array distributed communication system with MIMO support and phase noise synchronization over a single coax cable, communicating RF signals over cable (RFoC) in a distributed phased array communication system, clock noise leakage reduction, IF-to-RF companion chip for backwards and forwards compatibility and modularity, on-package matching networks, 5G scalable receiver (Rx) architecture, among others.

A wireless communication device includes a transmission radio frequency (RF) chain configured to transmit a radio signal, and processing circuitry configured to cause the wireless communication device to detect that the transmission RF chain has transited from an inactive state to a first active state, determine whether to detect an updated value of a phase of a self-interference signal in response to detecting that the transmission RF chain has transited from the inactive state to the first active state, and modify a weight vector of an adaptive filter corresponding to the self-interference signal based on the updated value of the phase or a previous value of the phase.

Methods and systems are disclosed for concurrent transmission or resource blocks allocated to a mobile device for transmission in uplink communication channels. In particular implementations, a mobile device may tune local oscillators and/or apply filtering of radio frequency transmission to reduce or mitigate intermodulation distortion potentially affecting one or more radio frequency receiving functions.

Systems and methods for improving radio frequency integrated circuits. Extended conducting plates having current forming elements are used to equalize return currents from an array of capacitance banks in radio frequency integrated circuits and to reduce crosstalk between crossing signal lines by providing isolation mechanisms for use as a shield between the signal carrying lines. Material encapsulated magneto-electric antennas are configured into antenna arrays on a PCB or a RFIC package. Antenna arrays may comprise antennas having different directivity levels and may have asymmetric arrangement of antenna elements.

A method of compensating electromagnetic emissions of a device for use in a communication bus, the method including: transmitting a test signal over the communication bus; receiving, at the device, the test signal after propagation over the communication bus; performing frequency analysis processing of the test signal received to detect a set of harmonic components of the test signal received having an amplitude exceeding a certain threshold; storing respective values of frequency of harmonic components in the set of harmonic components having an amplitude exceeding the certain threshold; and generating and transmitting over the communication bus a set of compensation signals, each compensation signal in the set of compensation signals being a sinusoidal signal having a respective frequency equal to one of the frequencies stored, and being in anti-phase with respect to the harmonic component of the test signal received having the respective frequency.

Programmatic control of device I/O and EMF quiet mode, zone, signaling, and protocol are disclosed. Programmatic device I/O control reduces EMF radiation from a device with a device I/O controller application for programmatic control of the device's I/O channels. Responsive to firing of control rules, the device I/O application calls device APIs to control I/O channel settings. A quiet mode that reduces overall EMF radiation from a device is administered by an administrator and controls the device's wired or wireless I/O channels to create an EMF quiet zone in which some or all devices in a vicinity respond to a request to put themselves into an EMF quiet mode.
