US Patent 11888504 Electronic devices with output load independent detection capabilities

An electronic device may include signal transmission circuitry such as wireless circuitry having a signal source, a signal path, and an output node coupled to an output load. The signal source may transmit a signal to the output load over the signal path. The output load may have an impedance characterized by a first reflection coefficient. A signal coupler may be disposed on the signal path. A power detector coupled to a coupled node of the signal coupler may measure a voltage at the third node. A termination coupled to an isolated node of the signal coupler may include components that cause the termination to exhibit a second reflection coefficient. The second reflection coefficient may be selected to configure the voltage at the third node to track a power wave at the output load to within a constant that is invariant as the first reflection coefficient changes over time.
