EFFICIENT DETERMINATION OF RF EXPOSURE FOR MIMO TRANSMITTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113750 titled 'EFFICIENT DETERMINATION OF RF EXPOSURE FOR MIMO TRANSMITTERS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to assessing radio frequency (RF) exposure from a wireless device supporting multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions using multiple antennas. The disclosure involves determining and storing MIMO RF exposure distributions for one or more MIMO transmissions in memory. A processor retrieves the MIMO RF exposure distributions, combines them linearly to obtain a combined MIMO RF exposure distribution, and assesses RF exposure compliance based on this combined distribution. The MIMO RF exposure distribution may include MIMO specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions.

  • MIMO technology allows for multiple antennas to be used for wireless transmissions.
  • The patent application focuses on assessing RF exposure from MIMO transmissions by combining and analyzing RF exposure distributions.
  • The processor retrieves stored data to assess compliance with RF exposure regulations.
  • The technology may include specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions for MIMO transmissions.

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in:

  • Wireless communication devices
  • Health and safety compliance testing for RF exposure

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following issues:

  • Ensuring compliance with RF exposure regulations
  • Efficient assessment of RF exposure from MIMO transmissions

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the present disclosure facilitate assessment of radio frequency (rf) exposure from a wireless device supporting multiple-input-multiple-output (mimo) transmissions using multiple antennas. in certain aspects, mimo rf exposure distributions for one or more mimo transmissions are determined and stored in a memory. to assess rf exposure for a mimo transmission, a processor may retrieve the corresponding mimo rf exposure distributions from the memory, linearly combine the mimo rf exposure distributions to obtain a combined mimo rf exposure distribution, and assess rf exposure compliance based on the combined mimo rf exposure distribution. in one example, the mimo rf exposure distribution may include mimo specific absorption rate (sar) distributions.
