DETAILED ACTION
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Election/Restrictions
Applicant’s election without traverse of Group I in the reply filed on 03/06/26 is acknowledged.
Claims 14-20 are withdrawn from further consideration pursuant to 37 CFR 1.142(b) as being drawn to a nonelected Group II and III, there being no allowable generic or linking claim. Election was made without traverse in the reply filed on 03/06/26.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless –
(a)(1) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale, or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention.
Claim(s) 1-2, 11-13, 21-22, and 25-27 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) as being anticipated by Rai et al. (hereinafter “Rai”, US 2015/0349821).
As per claim 1, Rai disclosed wireless circuitry (see fig. 3) comprising a first transceiver (see fig. 3, circuitries of TX1); a second transceiver (see fig. 3, circuitries of TX2); a radio-frequency front end module having inputs coupled to the first transceiver and the second transceiver (see fig. 3); and a control loop (see fig. 3, feedback loop 359) configured to dynamically adjust the first transceiver based on signals output from the radio-frequency front end module (see fig. 3, ADC 346 output signals to dynamically adjust the first transceiver transmit signals), the control loop having a filter circuit (see fig. 3, filter 294).
As per claim 2, Rai disclosed the filter circuit is configured to reject signals associated with the second transceiver (see 0007, 0037 and 0054-0055).
As per claim 11, Rai disclosed the filter circuit comprises a low pass filter (see fig. 4, 410).
As per claims 12 and 26, Rai disclosed the first transceiver is configured to output a first radio-frequency signal associated with a first radio access technology; and the second transceiver is configured to output a second radio-frequency signal associated with a second radio access technology different than the first radio access technology (see TABLE1 and 0005-0007 and at least 0021-0022).
As per claim 13, Rai disclosed the first radio-frequency signal comprises a cellular signal, and wherein the second radio-frequency signal comprises a wireless local area network (WLAN) signal or a Bluetooth signal (see TABLE1 and 0005-0007 and at least 0021-0022).
As per claim 21, Rai disclosed a method of operating wireless circuitry (see fig. 3), comprising with a first transceiver (see fig. 3, circuitries of TX1), outputting a first radio-frequency signal; with a second transceiver (see fig. 3, circuitries of TX1), outputting a second radio-frequency signal; with a radio-frequency front end module, receiving the first radio-frequency signal from the first transceiver and receiving the second radio-frequency signal from the second transceiver (see fig. 3); and with a control loop (see fig. 3, feedback loop 359), dynamically adjusting the first transceiver based on signals output from the radio-frequency front end module (see fig. 3, ADC 346 output signals to dynamically adjust the first transceiver transmit signals), wherein the control loop has a filter circuit (see fig. 3, filter 294).
As per claim 22, Rai disclosed the filter circuit of the control loop, rejecting signals associated with the second transceiver (see 0007, 0037 and 0054-0055).
As per claim 25, Rai disclosed an electronic device comprising one or more processors (see fig. 2, 280) configured to output a baseband signal; a first transceiver (see fig. 3, TX1) configured to receive the baseband signal from the one or more processors; a second transceiver (see fig. 3, TX2); a radio-frequency front end module having inputs coupled to the first transceiver and the second transceiver (see fig. 3); at least one antenna (see fig. 2, 210 and 212) coupled to the radio-frequency front end module; and a control loop (see fig. 3, feedback loop 359) configured to dynamically adjust the first transceiver based on signals output from the radio-frequency front end module (see fig. 3, ADC 346 output signals to dynamically adjust the first transceiver transmit signals), the control loop having a filter circuit (see fig. 3, filter 294).
As per claim 27, Rai disclosed a radio-frequency coupler(see fig. 3, coupler 358) having an input coupled to the radio-frequency front end module, a first output coupled to the at least one antenna, and a second output coupled to the filter circuit (see fig. 3).
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 3-10 and 23-24 are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
