  • Patent number: 12381582
    Abstract: A chip-scale controller for a reconfigurable radio frequency (RF) filter may include memory configured to store a calibration profile associating each of a plurality of digital command inputs with a plurality of digital to analog converter (DAC) codes, a plurality of digital to analog converters (DACs) each configured to generate an analog biasing output in response to one of a DAC code, a communication interface configured to receive a digital command input, and control registers configured to retrieve, from the memory, at least one plurality of DAC codes based on the received digital command input, to select a plurality of DAC codes based on the retrieved at least one plurality of DAC codes, and to provide the selected plurality of DAC codes to the plurality of DACs. At least the plurality of DACs, the communication interface, and the control registers form part of an application specific integrated circuit.

  • Patent number: 9979372
    Abstract: Illustrative embodiments of reconfigurable microwave filters, as well as associated systems and methods, are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, a reconfigurable microwave filter may comprise a plurality of cavity resonators on a common substrate and a plurality of control circuits each configured to control a resonant frequency of one of the plurality of cavity resonators. The reconfigurable microwave filter may also comprise a plurality of feedback circuits each configured to generate a feedback signal that is indicative of the resonant frequency of one of the plurality of cavity resonators and to transmit the feedback signal to one of the plurality of control circuits.
