Examples disclosed herein relate to a meta-structure based reflectarray for beamforming wireless applications and a method of operation of passive reflectarrays in an indoor environment. The method includes receiving, by a plurality of passive reflectarrays, a Radio Frequency (RF) signal from a source. The method also includes reflecting, by the plurality of passive reflectarrays, the RF signal to generate a plurality of RF beams to a respective target coverage area, in which each of the plurality of RF beams increases a multipath gain along a signal path between a corresponding passive reflectarray to the respective target coverage area.

An arrangement provides addressing for a plurality of equipment. Each piece of the equipment is non-varyingly logically linked to a corresponding transceiver having a unique identifier and a plurality of transceiver antennae with non-identically oriented antenna lobes. Each corresponding transceiver is configured to transmit a signal having the unique identifier associated with the transceiver via each of the transceiver antennae individually and to receive any signal of a neighboring transceiver attributing it to the actually receiving transceiver antennae in order to determine pattern information pairs. A central instance is configured to collect the pattern information pairs from the transceiver transceivers and to compare the pattern information pairs with a stored pattern of the equipment to identify each transceivers' position in the stored pattern.

An information handling system (IHS) includes a sensor for sensing a physical configuration of the IHS, the physical configuration dependent upon a position of a hinge of a housing of the IIS. A first proximity sensor probe may sense whether a first biological entity element is proximate to a first antenna of the IHS, and a second proximity sensor probe may sense whether a second biological entity element is proximate to a second antenna of the IHS. The IHS may reconfigure use of at least one of the first antenna and the second antenna in response to the sensing of at least one of the first proximity sensor probe and the second proximity sensor probe.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for down-converting a long-range communication signal that is wirelessly received via a first antenna of a communication device to extract a first version of a baseband signal, down-converting a short-range communication signal wirelessly received from a second device via a second antenna of the communication device to extract a second version of the baseband signal from the long-range communication signal that can be received at the second device, which is remote from the communication device, via a second antenna. The first version and second version of the baseband signal can be combined to generate an information signal that can be processed. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Diversity receiver front end system with flexible antenna routing. A receiving system can include a plurality of amplifiers. Each one of the plurality of amplifiers can be disposed along a corresponding one of a plurality of paths between an input of the receiving system and an output of the receiving system. Each one of the plurality of paths can correspond to a different frequency band. The receiving system can include an input multiplexer configured to receive, at one or more of a plurality of input multiplexer inputs, one or more RF signals. Each one of the one or more RF signals can include one or more frequency bands. The input multiplexer can be configured to output each of the one or more RF signals to one or more of a plurality of input multiplexer outputs. The receiving system can include a controller configured to receive an antenna configuration signal and, based on the antenna configuration signal, control the input multiplexer to route each of the one or more RF signals to propagate along one or more of the plurality of paths corresponding to the one of more frequency bands of the RF signal.

A device that dynamically selects between multiple antennas to provide a best antenna selection for a wireless link between the device and an access point. The device may have a switch connected to multiple antennas and may instruct the switch to select from the antennas in order to improve a signal quality of the wireless link regardless of orientation of the device or obstructions in proximity to the device. For example, the device may determine a first signal strength associated with the wireless link using a first antenna and a second signal strength associated with the wireless link using a second antenna and may select the first antenna or the second antenna based on the first signal strength and the second signal strength.

Antenna arrays with signal feeds connected to switchable delay lines are provided. In certain embodiments, a mobile device includes a transceiver configured to generate a radio frequency input signal, a front end system including a power amplifier configured to amplify the radio frequency input signal to generate a radio frequency output signal, and an antenna array including a first antenna configured to transmit the radio frequency output signal. The first antenna is configured to receive the radio frequency output signal through a selected delay line chosen from a plurality of delay lines.

A method for wireless communication includes monitoring a channel of a radio frequency spectrum band using at least a first receiver and a second receiver in parallel; determining, during the monitoring, at least a first received signal strength of a first receiver output of the first receiver, and a second received signal strength of a second receiver output of the second receiver; and selecting, based on the first received signal strength and the second received signal strength, one or both of the first receiver output or the second receiver output for use in decoding a candidate information signal of unknown signal strength. The first and second receivers are set to first and second fixed gain state providing the first and second receivers with first and second dynamic ranges. The second dynamic range partially overlaps the first dynamic range to provide the wireless device an extended dynamic range.

A method performed in an electronic device is provided. The method includes: collecting operation information on at least one of a data communication operation, a paging operation, and a voice communication operation of a first antenna, a second antenna, or a third antenna; determining at least one antenna to be used of the first antenna, the second antenna, and third antenna based on at least part of the collected operation information; and performing communication by using the determined antenna.

A radio transmission apparatus determines information indicative of an estimated communications channel condition and generates a single modulation signal or a plurality of modulation signals based on the estimated communications channel condition information. The single modulation signal is transmitted from a first antenna of a plurality of antenna or the plurality of modulation signals are transmitted from the first antenna and at least a second antenna of the plurality of antenna. The plurality of modulation signals include different information from each other and are transmitted over an identical frequency band and at an identical temporal point. The single modulation signal and the plurality of modulation signals contain parameter information indicating a number of modulation signals transmitted at the same time.
