RF FRONT-END ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18370350 titled 'RF FRONT-END ARCHITECTURE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a front-end system that includes a front-end module with a power amplifier, a reference signal generator, and a voltage sensor to control the module based on the supply signal and voltage level at the first terminal.
- The front-end system includes a first terminal that receives a radio frequency signal from a transceiver and a second terminal coupled to an antenna.
- The front-end module amplifies the radio frequency signal when powered by a supply signal.
- A reference signal generator in the front-end module generates a reference signal and modulates its frequency based on the supply signal.
- The frequency-modulated reference signal is transmitted to the transceiver through the first terminal.
- A voltage sensor in the front-end module senses the voltage level at the first terminal when the frequency-modulated reference signal is being transmitted to determine control signals for the module.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, IoT devices, and radar systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently controlling and optimizing the performance of front-end modules in communication systems.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved signal amplification, enhanced control mechanisms, and increased overall system efficiency.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Optimizing Front-End Modules for Wireless Communication Systems"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of voltage sensors in communication systems to optimize signal transmission and reception.
Unanswered Questions
How does the front-end module handle interference in the radio frequency signal?
The abstract does not provide information on how the front-end module deals with interference from external sources.
What is the range of frequencies that the reference signal generator can modulate?
The abstract does not specify the range of frequencies that the reference signal generator can modulate based on the supply signal.
Original Abstract Submitted
A front-end system includes a first terminal that receives a radio frequency signal from a transceiver and a second terminal coupled to an antenna. A front-end module including a power amplifier amplifies the radio frequency signal when powered by a supply signal. The front-end module includes a reference signal generator that generates a reference signal and modulates the reference signal frequency based on the supply signal. The frequency-modulated reference signal is transmitted to the transceiver through the first terminal. The front-end module can also include a voltage sensor that senses a voltage level at the first terminal when the frequency-modulated reference signal is being transmitted to the transceiver to determine at least one control signal for controlling the front-end module.
