The first end of the impedance matching circuit is electrically connected to the radiator. The impedance matching circuit adjusts the impedance matching of the radiator and transmits a sensing signal. The inductor is electrically connected to the second end of the impedance matching circuit. The inductor transmits a sensing signal, and blocks the RF signal. Accordingly, the structures of the antenna and the circuit can be simplified, and the influence between the RF signal and the sensing signal can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10768526
    Abstract: A substrate having a target material layer is provided. A first hard mask layer, a second hard mask layer, and a photoresist layer are formed on the target material layer. The photoresist layer is transferred into first patterns on the second hard mask layer. Regions of the second hard mask layer not protected by the first patterns are etched away, thereby forming second patterns. The first patterns are trimmed to form trimmed features. A conformal spacer material layer is deposited on the trimmed features, the second patterns, and the first hard mask. The spacer material layer is etched to form first spacers on sidewalls of the trimmed features, and second spacers on sidewalls of the second patterns. The trimmed features are removed. Regions of the second patterns not protected by the first spacers are removed, thereby forming patterns with a reduced, fine pitch.

Each of the variable capacitance device is connected in parallel to one of the series and shunt acoustic wave resonators. The active adjustment circuit outputs an active thermal compensation signal correlated to a thermal variation sensed by the thermal sensing acoustic wave resonator to the variable capacitance device. The active thermal compensation signal induces a capacitance variation of the variable capacitance device such that the impact of the thermal variation to the acoustic wave device is compensated.
