摘要： Embodiments are disclosed for terahertz spectroscopy and imaging in dynamic environments. In an embodiment, a method comprises using a sensor of an electronic device to determine an orientation of the electronic device. A transmitter of the electronic device emits an electromagnetic (EM) wave in a terahertz (THz) frequency band into a dynamic environment according to a power duty cycle that is determined at least in part by the orientation. A receiver of the electronic device receives a reflected EM wave from the environment. A spectral response of the reflected EM wave is determined that includes absorption spectra that is indicative of the transmission medium in the environment. The absorption spectra are compared with known absorption spectra of target transmission mediums. Based on the comparing, a particular target transmission medium is identified as being the transmission medium in the environment, and a concentration level of the identified target transmission medium in the environment is determined.

摘要： Systems, methods, and devices are provided for compensating for distortion of a contactless communication channel. The electronic device may include a radio frequency system that itself includes antenna to transmit and receive data using near-field communication (NFC) and an NFC signal processing circuitry. The NFC signal processing circuitry may receive an NFC signal via a communication channel formed between the electronic device and another electronic device and may determine a baseband reference waveform associated with the electromagnetic NFC signal and may determine an error between a portion of the electromagnetic NFC signal and the baseband reference waveform. Furthermore, the NFC signal processing circuitry may determine whether the error is outside of an acceptable error threshold range and, in response to the error being outside of the acceptable error threshold range, train a filter response of the NFC signal processing circuitry to estimate the communication channel.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses are presented to reduce multiuser interference resulting from two or more overlapping ultra wideband (UWB) transmissions by randomizing the start time of packets and/or bursts within the packets. A random offset time may be generated for a packet, and transmission of the packet may be arbitrarily delayed by that random offset time, relative to an earlier time at which the packet is prepared for transmission. A random offset time may be generated for a pulse burst within a symbol of a packet, and transmission of the burst may be delayed by that random offset time, relative to a nominal transmission window within the symbol. The burst may therefore occupy a portion of a guard period following the nominal transmission window. Either procedure, or both procedures, may be used to reduce multiuser interference between two concurrently transmitted packets by randomizing overlap occurring between the bursts.

摘要： A transceiver that implements a high dynamic range NFC reader mode receiver may include a transmitter circuit to generate a transmit (TX) signal for communication to a first device via an antenna. The transceiver may further include a receiver circuit that is in communication with the first device via the antenna. The receiver circuit includes a mixer circuit and an adder circuit. The mixer circuit mixes a carrier signal with a first signal to generate a baseband signal. The adder circuit is coupled to the antenna and produces the first signal by adding a receive (RX) signal with a second signal to reduce a component of the TX signal included in the RX signal. The second signal is produced by processing a TX clock signal generated by the transmitter circuit.

摘要： A technique for dynamically adjusting power use of an input/output (I/O) interface of an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an input/output (I/O) interface that facilitates electronic communications with a receiving electronic device, at a particular transmission rate that is dynamically changeable by the electronic device. Transmission power and transmission rate adjustment circuitry determines whether a step-down in a transmission power used for signal transmission at the particular transmission rate is desirable. When desirable, the transmission power is dynamically adjusted down one step, such that less power is used by the I/O interface during the electronic communications.

摘要： In order to improve communication with another electronic device, during an advertising mode an electronic device (such as a smartphone) may transmit a packet with advertising information using a default transmit power level. Then, based on feedback about a performance metric associated with the communication from the other electronic device, the electronic device may selectively increase the transmit power level for a subsequent packet. Because this selective increase in the transmit power level may increase the overall power consumption, the change in the transmit power level also may depend on one or more factors, such as a battery power level of the electronic device. However, the selective increase in the transmit power level may, in some instances, decrease the overall power consumption by reducing or eliminating retries.

摘要： In order to improve the quality of communication between electronic devices, one or more sub-channels used during communication between the electronic devices are dynamically modified based on one or more performance metrics and allowed transmit powers of the sub-channels. In particular, when the one or more performance metrics indicate that a distance between the electronic devices falls within a mid-range of distances, the one or more performance metrics may be used to guide selective changes to the sub-channels used during the communication based on the allowed transmit powers. The changes to the sub-channels used during the communication may increase, decrease or leave the total bandwidth unchanged. Moreover, by changing the sub-channels used during the communication, the allowed transmit power(s) of the sub-channel(s) used may be increased, which may improve the performance during the communication.

摘要： In order to establish a connection between electronic devices, after receiving an advertising packet from another electronic device, an electronic device compares a performance metric associated with the communication with the other electronic device with a threshold value. Based on the comparison, the electronic device provides pairing-intent information specifying a pairing intent for the electronic device and the other electronic device for presentation by the other electronic device. Moreover, after receiving additional pairing-intent information specifying the pairing intent from the other electronic device, the electronic device establishes the connection with the other electronic device when the additional pairing-intent information matches the pairing-intent information. For example, the pairing intent may include a gesture and/or a sequence of one or more characters, and the additional pairing-intent information may include: the sequence of one or more characters; accelerometer data corresponding to the gesture; and/or user-interface data corresponding to the gesture.
