Abstract: A regulator with decreased leakage and low loss for a power amplifier is described. Switching circuitry is used to connect the regulator input bias to a bias control voltage when the power amplifier is to be operated in an on condition or to a voltage generator when the power amplifier is to be operated in an off condition.

Abstract: Methods and devices for leakage current reduction are described. A regulator transistor is connected to a switch to bias the transistor with a first voltage during an ON state and a second voltage during the OFF state of the transistor. The switchable bias allows leakage current decrease and “on” resistance increase of the transistor.

Abstract: Biasing methods and devices for power amplifiers are described. The described methods and devices use the power amplifier output voltage to generate bias voltages. The bias voltages are obtained using rectifiers and voltage dividers. The described biasing methods and devices can be used with class-E power amplifiers.

Abstract: A stacked pre-driver stage and a power amplifier including the stacked pre-driver stage are described. The stacked pre-driver stage comprises stacked pre-drivers arranged in series between a supply voltage and a reference voltage. Each pre-driver includes a pre-driving amplifier, together with MOS transistors. Each pre-driver is subject, in operation, to a voltage difference which is inferior to a maximum allowed use voltage of the MOS transistors with a largely reduced voltage drop across the regulator included in the power amplifier.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are provided for testing a service in a network. A simulated interface is created on a network device by a Network Management Station (NMS). Thereafter, an instruction is received at the simulated interface from the NMS. The instruction comprises a source address, a destination address and other information to test a service. The service is tested on the network device based on the received instruction. A response is generated from the test. The response indicates whether the service is working as intended between the source address and the destination address. The response is sent from the simulated interface to the NMS.

Abstract: A method for performing a handoff for a mobile device from a first radio station to a second radio station. The method includes buffering a first media data set that is received through the first radio station. The method also includes cross-correlating a tail portion of the first media data set and a head portion of a second media data set to generate a cross-correlated media data set, if the second media data set is received through the second radio station. The method further includes synthesizing, using a modeled portion of the first media data set, a synthesized media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station within a threshold. The method further includes extending the first media data set to generate an extended media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station at the threshold.

Abstract: A packet communication device is disclosed. The packet communication device may include a detector configured to detect a characterized content in incoming packets received by the packet communication device. The packet communication device may further include a play-out control configured to perform an adjustment of the incoming packets to produce adjusted packets and output the adjusted packets, if the detector has detected the characterized content in the incoming packets.

Abstract: An apparatus for canceling a signal is disclosed. The apparatus may include an identification code (ID code) generator configured to generate an ID code. The apparatus may also include an ID code injector configured to inject the ID code into at least one of the signal and a processed signal to produce a convolved signal. The processed signal is resulted from a processing of the signal. The apparatus may further include an ID code detector configured to detect at least one of the convolved signal, a transformed signal, and a transformation of the convolved signal. The transformed signal is resulted from the transformation of the convolved signal. The apparatus may further include an arithmetic function configured to remove at least one of the convolved signal and the transformed signal.
