  • Publication number: 20230387868
    Abstract: A wideband amplifier includes an input matching network for matching a transconductor stage to an input impedance and includes an output matching network for matching the transconductor stage to an output impedance. Both the input and output matching networks each includes a parallel LC tank circuit arranged in parallel with a series LC tank circuit. The tank circuit arrangements configure the input and output matching networks to be resonant at a first frequency, a midrange frequency that is greater than the first frequency, and a second frequency that is greater than the midrange frequency to provide wideband matching.

  • Patent number: 10804583
    Abstract: A magnet-free non-reciprocal device realized using modulated filters. The device includes one or more filters in one or more branches, where each branch connects two ports or a port and a central node. The poles and zeros of each of the first, second and third filters are modulated in time such that degenerate modes at each pole and zero is split thereby destructively interfering at one or more output ports and adding up at another output port allowing non-reciprocal transmission, isolation and/or non-reciprocal phase shift. The device is able to realize a magnet-free full-duplex communication scheme implementing a magnet-free circulator for radio frequency cancellation or a magnet-free isolator or gyrator.

  • Patent number: 10673407
    Abstract: A microelectromechanical resonant circulator device is providing, having a substrate, and at least three electrical ports supported on the substrate. At least three electromechanical resonator elements are connected with associated switch elements and an associated port. The switch elements are operative to provide commutation over time of the electromechanical resonator elements.
