Abstract: An electronic device includes multiple antennas to transmit one or more signals, and a transceiver electrically coupled to the antennas. A transmitter of the transceiver may include splitter circuitry with reduced circuit area that may receive an input signal and generates multiple signals. Moreover, a receiver of the transceiver may include combiner circuitry with reduced circuit area that may receive multiple input signal and generates one output signal. The splitter and/or combiner may include combined circuitry including one or more inductors and resistors to provide a desired total impedance. Moreover, in different embodiments, the splitter and/or combiner may have different number of input or output ports.

Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having an LC filter. The LC filter may include first and second series inductors coupled between the input and output of the LC filter. An input capacitor can be coupled at the input of the LC filter, and an output capacitor can be coupled at the output of the LC filter. Feedforward capacitors can be cross-coupled with the first and second series inductors to at least partially or fully cancel out any parasitic capacitance associated with the first and second series inductors to mitigate any undesired self-resonant effects associated with the series inductors.

Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having digital-to-analog converters, filters, mixers, and current buffers disposed between the filters and the mixers. The current buffers may provide proper resistance termination for the filters. The current buffers may include current mirrors formed from diode-connected n-type transistors and diode-connected p-type transistors, which collectively provide a linear input resistance. The current mirrors may receive a high voltage from a voltage regulator having a replica current mirror and proportional-to-absolute-temperature current sources.

The notch filter circuit further includes a multi-branch circuit having multiple parallel branches and coupled between the first node and a second node. Each branch of the multi-branch circuit includes at least a switch coupled to a variable capacitor. A notch frequency of the notch filter circuit is tunable by adjusting a capacitance of the variable capacitor.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an N-path filter implemented using a generalized impedance converter (GIC) circuit. The GIC circuit is configured such that the N-path filter has a desired frequency response, which may include a wide passband with steeper rejection than a conventional N-path filter with only a single pole in each filter path. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an N-path filter having a frequency response with multiple concurrent passbands. In certain aspects, the N-path filter with multiple passbands is implemented using the GIC circuit. In other aspects, the N-path filter may include a bandpass response circuit where an inductance of the bandpass response circuit may be implemented using gyrators.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide N-path filters with wider passbands and steeper rejection than conventional N-path filters with only a single pole in each filter path. These N-path filters also have a flatter passband with decreased passband droop. One example N-path filter generally includes a plurality of branches selectively connected with a common node, each branch of the N-path filter comprising a switch connected in series with an impedance comprising a common drain amplifier circuit. In certain aspects, the amplifier circuit may include a degeneration circuit for stability and/or a poly-phase feedback circuit to reduce in-band peaking.
