  • Patent number: 8891412
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a mobile radio device includes a first transmission path for a first communication system with TDD duplex operation and a second transmission path for a second communication system with FDD duplex operation. The first transmission path contains a first transmission filter and the second transmission path contains a first duplexer. The first and second communication systems use transmission frequency bands that are arranged within the same octave. A transmitted signal from the first communication system can be routed switchably and thus either via the first or the second transmission path.

  • Patent number: 8384496
    Abstract: A band-stop filter is proposed which is constructed on a multilayered substrate and consists of a parallel circuit comprising a bandpass filter and a high-pass filter. The two filters are at least partly realized in the form of LC-elements integrated into the substrate. Further circuit components can be arranged as discrete components on the substrate. In the filter branch having the bandpass filter, an electroacoustic resonator is arranged in a transverse branch to ground. By means of the filter, a wide stop band is obtained, while the passband or passbands can comprise a plurality of radio bands.

  • Publication number: 20110280147
    Abstract: For simpler and more rapid testing of a front-end module, additional linked operating states are provided in the switch and/or its decoder and allow a plurality of paths to be enabled in parallel, in order in this way to test these paths with a smaller number of test routines in a test set, in particular a network analyzer.

  • Patent number: 7795992
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical circuit that includes a first signal path having differential partial paths. An interface circuit arranged in the first signal path suppresses the common-mode signals in a blocking region of the signal path, but essentially does not influence differential signal parts.

  • Publication number: 20070126523
    Abstract: For electrical matching of an electrical component, a network with a transformation line is proposed which is realized in or on a substrate, preferably a ceramic substrate. The network has a prescribed electrical length for achieving a desired phase shift, and comprises at least two electrical conductors (LE) each of which has a bent-over configuration (e.g. Greek fret pattern) comprising straight segments joined [sic] at right angles, in a respective conductor plane for the given conductor (LE), and which conductors (LE) are interconnected. Mutually parallel conductor segments disposed in different conductor planes partially overlap and are thereby mutually capacitively coupled, with the capacitive coupling being adjustable by adjusting of individual overlap areas, so as to achieve the prescribed electrical length and prescribed impedance of the transformation line.

  • Publication number: 20050237684
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement is described having a terminal (1) for a high-frequency signal, having at least two additional signal leads (21a, 21b, 21c, 22a, 22b), having a switching unit (3) for connecting the terminal (1) to a signal lead (21a, 21b, 21c, 22a, 22b), having a primary protection device (41) against electrostatic discharges, which is connected between the terminal (1) and the switching unit (3), the protection device (41) containing a first voltage limitation element (51), which diverts voltage pulses that exceed a switching voltage of 200 V to a reference potential (7). The use of a gallium arsenide double diode makes it possible to attain the advantage of a low insertion loss coupled with a low switching voltage.
