ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY, SYSTEM, BASE STATION, MOBILE DEVICE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121015 titled 'ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY, SYSTEM, BASE STATION, MOBILE DEVICE AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The electronic circuitry proposed in this patent application includes a directional coupler and a time-to-digital converter (TDC) to determine the phase difference between forward and reverse signals.

  • The directional coupler has four ports: one for receiving the input signal, one for outputting the input signal to a load, one for outputting the forward signal, and one for outputting the reverse signal based on the reflection of the input signal.
  • The TDC is connected to the third and fourth ports of the directional coupler and is responsible for calculating the phase difference between the forward and reverse signals.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • Radar systems
  • Communication systems
  • Antenna systems

Problems Solved

  • Accurately measuring phase differences in signals
  • Improving signal transmission efficiency

Benefits

  • Enhanced signal processing capabilities
  • Improved system performance
  • Increased accuracy in signal analysis

Potential Commercial Applications

Unanswered Questions

1. How does this technology compare to existing phase measurement methods in terms of accuracy and efficiency? 2. Are there any limitations or constraints when implementing this technology in real-world applications?


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.
