A system, in an active reflector device, adjusts a first amplification gain of each of a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals received at a receiver front-end from a first equipment via a first radio path of an NLOS radio path. A first phase shift is performed on each of the plurality of RF signals with the adjusted first amplification gain. A combination of the plurality of first phase-shifted RF signals is split at a transmitter front-end. A second phase shift on each of the split first plurality of first phase-shifted RF signals is performed. The plurality of RF signals as a directed beam is transmitted to a second equipment via a second radio path of the NLOS radio path.

An electronic device may include wireless circuitry with a baseband processor, a transceiver circuit, a front-end module, and an antenna. The front-end module may include amplifier circuitry such as a low noise amplifier for amplifying received radio-frequency signals. The low noise amplifier is operable in a non-carrier-aggregation (NCA) mode and a carrier aggregation (CA) mode. The low noise amplifier may include a first input stage, a second input stage, a complementary degeneration transformer, and an input impedance compensation circuit. During the NCA mode, the first input stage is turned on while the second input stage is turned off, the degeneration transformer is controlled to provide maximum inductance, and the compensation circuit is turned on to provide input matching. During the CA mode, the first and second input stages are turned on, the degeneration transformer is adjusted to provide less inductance, and the compensation circuit is turned off.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to devices, wireless communication apparatuses, methods, and circuitry implementing a low noise amplifier (LNA) with phase-shifting circuitry to achieve a continuous phase at the output of the LNA. One aspect is an amplifier including a high gain active path comprising active circuitry, and a low gain path comprising passive circuitry and phase-shifting circuitry. In one or more aspects, the phase-shifting circuitry is configured to shift a phase of an input signal within the low gain path such that the phase of an output signal outputted from the low gain path approximately matches a phase of an output signal outputted from the high gain active path. In at least one aspect, a gain of the high gain active path is higher than a gain of the low gain passive path.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for multi-antenna transmission. The method which may be performed by a communication device comprises determining first correlation information in response to interference to data on a first subset of multiple antenna branches of the communication device. The first correlation information may indicate at least correlation between the data on the first subset of the multiple antenna branches and data on a second subset of the multiple antenna branches which is not affected by interference. The method further comprises correcting the data on the first subset of the multiple antenna branches, based at least in part on the first correlation information.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improved processing audio in a video stream. A system may split audio in a frame of video content into multiple bands based on their audio levels. The system may then dynamically compress and dynamically normalize the audio level in each band. When dynamically compressing the bands, the system may determine, based on stored information, what audio level range is acceptable for an end user and may smooth and maintain the ranges of the audio to be within the acceptable range. The system may include the dynamically normalized and dynamically compressed frames as a second audio track in the video content. A computing device receiving the video content may select the second audio track during playback. If an end user selects the second audio track, the video is delivered with the modified sound of the second audio track.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring sidelink slots without symbols for automatic gain control. One aspect provides a method for wireless communication by a user equipment, including receiving a first cyclic prefix of a first symbol within a slot at the user equipment. The method further includes configuring a first automatic gain control setting based on a received power in the first cyclic prefix of the first symbol, and receiving a data portion of the first symbol using the first automatic gain control setting.

The automatic gain control loop can be analog. Also, the automatic gain control loop can be implemented in hardware or firmware.

The wireless RF semiconductor system is described for use in wireless communication devices that operate in frequency range from approximately 6 GigaHertz (GHz) to 100 GHz. The system comprises of at least one RF antenna and at least one RF integrated circuit fabricated (or built) on the same semiconductor substrate inside a one single packaged module. The wireless RF semiconductor system is described in a variety of different configurations with its functionality divided up over several single chip circuits. The system simplifies assembly, reduces size and cost, and allows for a quick time to market, while maximizing the RF performance demanded by fixed and mobile 4G, 5G and other wireless standards. The system uses a novel idea of configuration and packaging of active and passive RF components into a single module. This in turn allows RF manufacturers to unlock the potential of very high frequencies operation that were previously thought too expensive and unattainable to average user. The wireless RF semiconductor system can be implemented in both mobile solutions (such as phones and tablets) and fixed applications (such as repeaters, base-stations, and distributed antenna systems).
