  • Patent number: 11984914
    Abstract: A transceiver having a down-converter for converting a radio-frequency (RF) input signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal with an analog low latency bypass path coupled to the IF signal and configured to provide a low latency IF signal and an up-converter for converting an IF signal to an RF signal. There is a digital path coupled to the IF signal and configured to provide a digitally processed IF signal, and an up-converter for converting at least one of the low latency IF signal and the digitally processed IF signal to an RF output signal. In a further example, the down-converter and the up-converter convert to millimeter wave frequencies and filters the millimeter wave frequencies with cavity filters.

  • Patent number: 11664832
    Abstract: A transceiver having a transceiver including a down-converter for converting a radio-frequency (RF) input signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal with an analog low latency bypass path coupled to the IF signal and configured to provide a low latency IF signal. There is a digital path coupled to the IF signal and configured to provide a digitally processed IF signal, and an up-converter for converting at least one of the low latency IF signal and the digitally processed IF signal to an RF output signal. In a further example, the down-converter and the up-converter convert to millimeter wave frequencies and filters the millimeter wave frequencies with cavity filters comprising quartz.

  • Patent number: 5302024
    Abstract: A monolithic integrated circuit power sensor provides a monolithic integrated circuit substrate, a conversion element formed either on or in the substrate for converting microwave energy into heat, and a thermally sensitive diode junction formed in sufficiently close proximity to the conversion element to be thermally coupled thereto.
