An electronic device includes a signal processor, a substrate, and a conductive housing. The signal processor includes an oscillator that outputs oscillation signal. The substrate has a ground component, the signal processor being disposed on the substrate. The conductive housing is connected to a first site of the ground component and to a second site that is different from the first site. The first site and the second site being disposed at positions where a first area of the housing in which an impedance is higher than a first threshold due to the first site overlaps at least part of a second area of the housing in which an impedance is lower than a second threshold due to the second site.

A payment terminal has a clock management unit for providing clock signals to components of the payment terminal. The payment terminal also has a wireless communication interface for communicating wireless signals. A processing unit of the payment terminal may monitor operation of a wireless communication interface of the payment terminal and, when the payment terminal is communicating wirelessly, modify an initial clock signal provided to one or more components of the payment terminal that emit RF noise to modify a frequency at which the RF noise occurs. When the payment terminal is no longer transmitting, the processing unit may provide the initial clock signal to the RF noise source.

Systems and methods are disclosed for spur mitigation for pulse signal drivers in radio frequency (RF) devices. An RF integrated circuit includes RF circuitry and analog-to-digital (ADC) circuitry. The RF circuitry operates using a local oscillator (LO) clock to receive and/or transmit RF signals, and the ADC circuitry samples one or more analog input signals and has internal timing based upon a raw digital clock. A retime circuit receives the raw digital clock and the LO clock and has a retimed clock as an output. The retimed clock represents the raw digital clock retimed with the LO clock. While other digital circuitry is timed using the raw digital clock, one or more drivers are timed by the retimed clock and provide pulse output signals to output pads. Having the drivers timed with the retimed clock and other digital circuitry timed with the raw digital clock improves overall performance.

The invention relates to an electronic apparatus including at least one electronic board provided with an external coupling connector and a radio transmission device comprising at least one antenna tuned to a predetermined frequency, the connector having a metal casing connected to an earth of the electronic apparatus. At least one metal tab is attached to the metal casing of the connector in order to project laterally from the casing so as to attenuate, in the vicinity of the antenna, a spurious electromagnetic field produced by the connector during operation, the tab having a length suitable for resonating at the predetermined frequency.

A method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus operate to reduce or eliminate interference with one or more other communication systems having specific transmission requirements within a specific geographic area. For example, aspects operate by determining that a user equipment (UE) is in a protection zone where additional transmission requirements apply. The additional transmission requirements enable coexistence with one or more other communication systems in the protection zone. The UE may identify, based on being in the protection zone and a coexistence mode, one or more transmit emission limit requirements to be met. The UE may identify, based on being in the protection zone and the coexistence mode, one or more maximum transmit power requirements to be met. The UE may configure a transmit output power, at which the UE can meet the one or more transmit emission limit requirements and the one or more maximum transmit power requirements.
