Abstract: Biquad stage systems and methods include receiving at biquad sections a signal sample, generating, by each biquad section, a pair of output values based on the signal sample, including a first value based on fixed-point processing path and a second value emulating a floating-point processing path, and accumulating the pair of output values from each of the plurality of biquad sections to generate an output signal. The biquad stage receives an N-bit input signal, which is processed by a biquad section. Delay elements delay the signal sample before input to other biquad sections. The delayed signal sample is input to the first processing path and the second processing path of a corresponding biquad stage. By performing the processing based on two paths, a more accurate result can be found when using a reduced word length in the multiply operations resulting in a lowering of the power consumption.

Multiplexing networks which support newer fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation (5G) standards may include a combination of multiplexers having a number of radio frequency (RF) filters connected to an antenna at the same time.

Abstract: The technology relates to quantum computing devices and test arrangements for detecting information from the qubits of such devices. According to aspects of the technology, a Purcell filter is structured in a multi-pole architecture to provide a sharper filter response having a flatter signal pass band, sharper turn-off skirt, and enhanced out of band rejection. The system is able to determine the states of the qubits by detecting the frequency of the readout resonators of the test arrangement. The Purcell filter is configured to be sharply tuned to enable faster readout to avoid issues associated with a longer relaxation time (T1) of the qubits.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrical system for reducing differential-to-differential far end crosstalk (DDFEXT) includes converting a first S parameter representative of a design of a first electrical system into a differential-only S parameter, generating a second differential-only S parameter configured to add even-mode propagation delay and odd-mode propagation delay of the differential-only S parameter of the electrical system such that a total even-mode propagation delay and odd-mode propagation delay of the differential-only S parameter are substantially equivalent, and reconfiguring a second electrical system from the differential-only S parameter and the second differential-only S parameter.

Abstract: A signal conversion from an input signal to an output signal where the filter used is factorized so that the conversion comprises determining 1) only a first factor at each sampling time of the input signal, where this first factor is independent on the sampling times of the output signal, and 2) only a second factor at each sampling time of the output signal, where this second factor is independent of the sampling times of the input signal. This reduces the computational load for this conversion. In addition, for most filters, the factors may be calculated recursively further increasing the computational load and also reducing the storage requirements. This allows for instantaneous changes in the sampling rates or non-uniform sampling rates with low computational requirements and low memory usage.

Abstract: Dual mode filters having two reconfigurable multi-stage filters. In a dual band mode, each reconfigurable filter filters an input signal in a different band using every filter stage. In a single band mode, both reconfigurable filters are effectively divided into two sub-chains that include either the odd-numbered filter stages or the even-numbered filter stages. Together, the four sub-chains in the single band mode filter an input signal in a single band with a higher parallelization than each reconfigurable filter in the dual band mode. In some embodiments, the dual mode filter is a decimation filter. In other embodiments, the dual mode filter is a resampling filter. In still other embodiments, the dual mode filter is an interpolation filter.

A combined capacitance of the at least one or more third resonators electrically connected in series with each other is smaller than an electrostatic capacitance of the second resonators.

A qubit device can comprise a first Josephson junction (JJ) located along a first current path of the device, and a second JJ and third JJ coupled in series along a second current path in parallel with the first current path, wherein the second and third JJs facilitate controlling frequency of the device. The first JJ can be larger in area than each of the second and third JJs, wherein a current splitting ratio between the first current path and second current path can be increased thereby. The device can comprise a capacitor with a first terminal associated with the second and third JJs, and a second terminal associated with ground. Alternatively, a high kinetic inductance wire can be used in the first current path, instead of the JJ.
