ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY, SYSTEM, BASE STATION, MOBILE DEVICE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18458063 titled 'ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY, SYSTEM, BASE STATION, MOBILE DEVICE AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The electronic circuitry described in the patent application includes a directional coupler and a Time-to-Digital converter (TDC) to determine the phase difference between forward and reverse signals.
- Directional coupler with four ports:
- First port receives input signal from signal source - Second port outputs input signal to load - Third port outputs forward signal based on input signal - Fourth port outputs reverse signal based on reflection of input signal
- Time-to-Digital converter (TDC) connected to third and fourth ports to calculate phase difference between forward and reverse signals
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in: - Radar systems - Communication systems - Antenna systems
Problems Solved
- Accurate measurement of phase difference in signals - Efficient signal transmission and reception
Benefits
- Improved signal processing - Enhanced system performance - Precise phase measurement
Potential Commercial Applications
"Phase Difference Measurement Technology for Radar Systems"
Possible Prior Art
No known prior art at this time.
Unanswered Questions
How does the TDC calculate the phase difference between the forward and reverse signals?
The TDC measures the time delay between the two signals to determine the phase difference.
What are the specific parameters that the directional coupler can handle in terms of signal strength and frequency?
The directional coupler is designed to handle signals within a certain frequency range and power level, but the exact specifications would depend on the implementation of the circuitry.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic circuitry is proposed. The electronic circuitry comprises a directional coupler comprising a first port configured to receive an input signal from a signal source, a second port configured to output the input signal for transmission to a load, a third port configured to output a forward signal based on the input signal, and a fourth port configured to output a reverse signal based on a reflection of the input signal received at the second port. The electronic circuitry further comprises a Time-to-Digital converter, TDC, coupled to the third port and the fourth port. The TDC is configured to determine a phase difference between the forward signal and the reverse signal.
