A test system for testing a DUT includes near field and intermediate field measurement devices located in a near field and an intermediate field, respectively, of the DUT antenna that sample first and second bounded radiation surfaces, respectively, comprising RF signals emitted by the DUT antenna in at least first and second directions in which the bounded radiation surfaces extend. A receiver of the test system generates first and second matrices of near field and intermediate field values, respectively, from the samples obtained by the near field and intermediate field measurement devices, respectively and inputs them to processing logic of the test system. The processing logic processes the first and second matrices of near field and intermediate field values, respectively, and derives a third matrix of near field phase values therefrom.

Methods and apparatuses for configuring the zone served by a base station providing wireless communication for a plurality of user equipment located in moving vehicles are disclosed. Motion reports are received from the user equipment, indicating a current location, a current direction of motion, and a current speed of the moving vehicles. The motion reports are received from at least one of: user equipment currently using the base station for wireless communication; user equipment currently within the zone served by the base station, but not using the base station for wireless communication; and/or user equipment currently using at least one neighbouring base station to the base station for wireless communication. A configuration for the zone served by the base station is then determined, based on the motion reports and on locations of the base station and of the at least one neighbouring base station. The configuration for the zone served by the base station is then applied to the base station.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling a wireless power transmitting device. Information is received about a position of an electronic device from another wireless power transmitting device. Power is transmitted to the electronic device using the information about the position of the electronic device received from the other wireless power transmitting device.

According to an embodiment a wireless power transmitting device, includes a power transmission antenna including patch antennas to wirelessly transmit power, and communication antennas configured to receive a communication signal from an electronic device.

An electronic device that includes a sensor module, a measuring module and a near field communication (NFC) device. The sensor module receives an input signal. The measuring module measures the strength of the input signal and determines whether the input meets a predefined threshold. If the strength of the input signal meets the predefined threshold, the measuring module activates the NFC device. If the strength of the input signal does not meet the predefined threshold, the measuring module de-activates the NFC device.

A filtered electromagnetic coupler includes a main transmission line extending between an input port and an output port, and a coupled line section extending between a coupled port and an isolation port. The coupler is configured to couple signal power from the main transmission line to provide coupled signals at the coupled port, and a filter subsystem is connected to the coupled port to filter the coupled signals. The filter subsystem includes filters configured to pass or reject coupled signals by frequency, and the filter subsystem provides the filtered output signal to a measurement node.

An over the air measurement module comprises an antenna, adapted to receive a first measuring signal from a device under test or to transmit a second measuring signal to the device under test. It also comprises an analog signal processor, directly connected to said antenna, adapted to reduce a frequency of the received first measuring signal, resulting in a frequency reduced first measuring signal, or adapted to increase a frequency of a frequency reduced second measuring signal, resulting in the second measuring signal. It also has a connector connected to said analog signal processor and is adapted to output the first frequency reduced measuring signal or is adapted to receive the second frequency reduced measuring signal.

An over the air measurement module comprises an antenna, adapted to receive a first measuring signal from a device under test or adapted to transmit a second measuring signal to the device under test. Furthermore, the over the air measurement module comprises a mixer, directly connected to said antenna, adapted to reduce or increase a frequency of the received first measuring signal, resulting in a frequency reduced or increased first measuring signal, or adapted to increase or reduce a frequency of a frequency reduced or increased second measuring signal, resulting in the second measuring signal.

An antenna adjusting method includes: transmitting a first broadcast message in a case that a plurality of antennae are in a SISO mode, and acquiring radiation efficiencies of the plurality of antennae; and maintaining the SISO mode in a case that the radiation efficiency of at least one of the plurality of antennae is less than a preset threshold.

System and methods are disclosed for remote management of mobile satellite antenna modules having an antenna subsystem module (ASM). An ASM periodically transmits a check-in message and metrics data to a server. The server analyzes the check-in message and metrics data to determine a state of operation of the antenna, and determine one or more management commands to improve the performance of the ASM. Information in the metrics data received from each ASM can be queried and processed using machine learning to determine correlation between attributes of the ASMs and performance of the ASMs.
