  • Publication number: 20240072736
    Abstract: An amplifier DC bias protection circuit includes an amplifier module, a filter module and a comparator module. The amplifier module converts an input signal into a non-inverting signal and an inverting signal. The filter module blocks AC signals in the non-inverting signal and the inverting signal, thereby providing a first DC bias signal and a second DC bias signal accordingly. The comparator module is configured to determine whether the absolute value of a DC bias difference signal is greater than a predetermined value, and output a determination signal for deactivating the amplifier module when the absolute value of the DC bias difference signal is greater than the predetermined value. The DC bias difference signal is associated with the voltage difference between the first DC bias signal and the second DC bias signal.

  • Publication number: 20230216535
    Abstract: In one implementation, a wireless communication device includes a first transceiver configured to generate a transmit signal and a band pass filter (BPF) select circuit configured to filter the transmit signal by a one of a first BPF with a relatively high-frequency passband or a second BPF with a relatively low-frequency passband. The wireless communication device includes a second transceiver configured to receive a received signal filtered by the other one of the first or second BPF. Having the transmit and received signals filtered by two different passband filters improves the isolation between the transmitter and receiver. Another implementation configures the first transceiver to include its own set of first and second BPFs, and the second transceiver to also include its own first and second BPFs.
