A method and a closed-loop antenna impedance tuning (CL-AIT) system are provided. An input reflection coefficient is determined. The input reflection coefficient and a threshold value are compared to determine whether the input reflection coefficient is greater than the threshold value. In response to determining that the input reflection coefficient is greater than the threshold value, an optimal tuner code is determined based on a tuner code search algorithm. The optimal tuner code is applied to configure the CL-AIT system.

Self-radiated loopback test procedure for millimeter wave antennas

Methods and systems for automated testing of extremely-high frequency devices are disclosed. A device under test (DUT) is set in a simultaneous transmit and receive mode. The DUT receives a lower frequency radio frequency (RF) signal from a test unit and up-converts the lower frequency RF signal to a higher frequency RF signal. The DUT transmits the higher frequency RF signal using a first antenna, and receives the higher frequency RF signal using a second antenna. The DUT down-converts the received higher frequency RF signal to a received test RF signal and provides the received test RF signal to the test unit for comparing measurements derived from the received test signal to a design specification for the DUT.

TRANSMIT DIVERSITY POWER LEAKAGE DETECTION AND FILTERING IN ANTENNA COMPENSATOR POWER DETECTOR

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may filter leaked power from a signal to accurately perform antenna compensation operations (e.g., apply a transmit gain, perform cable loss measurements) using valid power. A switch at the UE may leak power to an antenna for a transmission, and the UE may use a dynamic filtering algorithm to determine whether a pulse power of a detected signal is leaked or valid. The dynamic filtering algorithm may be able to account for variations in leaked power values, as leaked power may increase or decrease proportionally to intended power (e.g., from which power was leaked). By determining whether pulse power is leaked or valid, the UE may be able to filter out the leaked power and accurately perform antenna compensation operations such as applying a transmit gain for a transmission, performing a cable loss measurement, or the like.
