COMPUTATION-BASED DETUNING OF COUPLED ANTENNAS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17949174 titled 'COMPUTATION-BASED DETUNING OF COUPLED ANTENNAS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that can detune a receive antenna while a transmit antenna is active. This is achieved by transmitting a signal through the transmit antenna while sequentially coupling the receive antenna through known loads. The UE then determines the input reflection coefficient for the transmit path at each load, allowing it to select a load to couple to the receive antenna for detuning.
- The UE can detune a receive antenna while a transmit antenna is active.
- The detuning process involves transmitting a signal through the transmit antenna and sequentially coupling the receive antenna through known loads.
- By determining the input reflection coefficient at each load, the UE can select the appropriate load to couple to the receive antenna for detuning.

Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) is provided that detunes a receive antenna while a transmit antenna transmits. To determine the detuning, the UE first transmits a signal through the transmit antenna while the receive antenna is sequentially coupled through known loads. At each load, the UE determines an input reflection coefficient for a transmit path to the transmit antenna. Based upon the known loads and the corresponding input reflection coefficients, the UE determines a load to couple to the receive antenna to perform the detuning.
