  • Patent number: 11165148
    Abstract: A matching network system combined with a circulator, and a method thereof are provided. In the matching network system and method, a reflection coefficient per frequency, required to cancel a signal leaked (a leakage signal) from a port combined with an antenna (an antenna port) is calculated, an impedance value is calculated from the calculated reflection coefficient, and any antenna is matched to a matching network by using a matching network circuit for changing an impedance value of the antenna to the calculated impedance value. Therefore, cancellation of the leakage signal is controlled. In this manner, the isolation performance of the circulator in a plurality of frequencies can be increased.

  • Patent number: 8427796
    Abstract: Improved ESD protection circuits for RFICs requiring both high voltage and high frequency operation is described. A cascode grounded gate snap-back NFET (GGNFET) combined with a precharge circuit and a diode network results in a positive ESD protection clamp with low capacitance and high turn-on voltage. The positive ESD protection clamp provides ESD protection to an IC during a positive voltage ESD pulse. Exemplary embodiments of a negative ESD protection clamp are disclosed where a bias circuit or a charge pump is used in place of the precharge circuit in a manner that allows the combination of the bias circuit or the charge pump together with a diode network and a cascode grounded gate snap-back NFET to provide protection against negative ESD voltage pulses. The combination of a positive and a negative ESD protection clamp provides ESD protection to an IC during either a positive or a negative voltage ESD pulse.
