Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems for controlling power for a power amplifier utilizing a leaky wave antenna (LWA) are disclosed and may include configuring one or more power amplifiers (PAs) in a wireless device at a desired output power level. The PAs may be coupled to feed points on the LWAs that may exhibit an input impedance corresponding to an output impedance of the PAs. RF signals may be transmitted utilizing the LWAs. A resonant frequency of the LWAs may be configured utilizing micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) deflection. The LWAs may be configured to transmit the RF signals in a desired direction. The LWAs may comprise microstrip or coplanar waveguides, wherein a cavity height of the LWAs is dependent on spacing between conductive lines in the waveguides. The input impedances of the feed points may be dependent on a position of the feed points in the cavities.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for communication, the method comprising: configuring a power amplifier in a wireless device to operate at a desired power level; coupling said configured power amplifier to one of a plurality of feed points within a cavity of a leaky wave antenna, wherein each of said plurality of feed points within said cavity each has a different height, and the one of the plurality of feed points to which the power amplifier is coupled has an input impedance c…
