Publication number: 20240106116Abstract: A hybrid switched-type phase shifter (STPS) may include the ?-type phase shifters and T-type phase shifters to provide more stable output signals over a wide frequency range. The hybrid STPS may provide output signals based on shifting a phase of the input signal having different frequencies across the frequency range by different phase shifts with relatively similar phase drifts resulting in a reduced phase error during operation. In some cases, the phase shifters discussed above may also include a number of capacitors and/or inductors. In some embodiments, a circuitry or layout of the phase shifters may be shared to reduce a total number of capacitors and therefore reduce a circuit area of the hybrid STPS. Moreover, stacking at least two inductors of the hybrid STPS may also reduce a circuit area for shifting the phase of the input signal by the desired phase shifts across the frequency range.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Morteza Tavakoli Taba, Xiang Guan

Patent number: 11431571Abstract: Configuration management of devices from multiple vendors using a hardware abstraction capability is provided. Abstraction between a high-level representation and vendor specific terminology may assist in translating configuration commands and operational status indicators to a single consistent presentation interface. Information may be obtained from computer devices to represent operational metrics of a corporate network infrastructure. Collected metrics may be translated for consistency across vendors. Similarly, configuration commands may initially be provided without regard to vendor specific syntax. Utilizing the high-level abstracted representation, a user interface representation of operational status (without regard to vendor terminology) may be provided for a heterogenous rack of associated components from at least two different vendors. Collected data may be analyzed to provide predicted failure of components.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Yung-Ching Tseng, Jian-Feng Guo, Ying Guo, Xiang Guan

Patent number: 7502631Abstract: A phased-array receiver is adapted so as to be fully integrated and fabricated on a single silicon substrate. The phased-array receiver is operative to receive a 24 GHz signal and may be adapted to include 8-elements formed in a SiGe BiCMOS technology. The phased-array receiver utilizes a heterodyne topology, and the signal combining is performed at an IF of 4.8 GHz. The phase-shifting with 4 bits of resolution is realized at the LO port of the first down-conversion mixer. A ring LC VCO generates 16 different phases of the LO. An integrated 19.2 GHz frequency synthesizer locks the VCO frequency to a 75 MHz external reference. Each signal path achieves a gain of 43 dB, a noise figure of 7.4 dB, and an IIP3 of ?11 dBm. The 8-path array achieves an array gain of 61 dB, a peak-to-null ratio of 20 dB, and improves the signal-to-noise ratio at the output by 9 dB.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Hossein Hashemi, Xiang Guan, Seyed Ali Hajimiri
