  • Patent number: 8450949
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) driving device outputs a driving signal according to a select signal, an update data, and an update command. The driving device includes a buffer circuit, a display data storage, and a signal generating circuit. The buffer circuit includes register series and a bypass register. The buffer circuit selectively stores the update data in the register series and the bypass register according to the update command. The display data storage stores multiple display data. The display data storage updates the display data by using the update data stored in the register series according to the update command. The signal generating circuit outputs the driving signal according to the display data. When the update data is stored in the bypass register, the clock of the update data passing through the driver is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20130114470
    Abstract: A system includes a transmit filter (160) in a transmit path to couple to an antenna (120) and pass signals in a transmit band. A receive filter (155) is disposed in a receive path to couple to the antenna and to the transmit filter to pass signals in a receive band different from the transmit band. An enhanced frequency variable impedance (145) is used to provide isolation between signals in the transmit and receive bands on the receive path. A phase and magnitude controlled feedback path can also be used to cancel transmit signals in the receive path.

  • Patent number: 8416033
    Abstract: A compact multi-band hybrid ring (rat-race) coupler utilizing a ring of composite right-handed and left-handed (CRLH) transmission lines (TLs) and multiple ports, provides miniaturization and the ability to operate at arbitrary frequency bands unlike conventional couplers. The hybrid ring is made compact, such as by constraining phase delay contributions |?1|, |?2|?270°. The coupler can be used in many applications, for example as a mode decoupling network in a dual-band front-end MIMO system. The inclusion of a CRLH delay line is also described which alters the phase relationship of the signals and is particularly well suited for extending pattern diversity in response to frequency.

  • Patent number: 8321714
    Abstract: A serial controller is adapted to receive an external clock and an input data, and output an inverted clock and an output data. The serial controller includes an inverter, a serial position detector, a synchronous clock generator, a serial register, and a half-cycle delay unit. Thereby, through the serial controller, the problem that the data signal and the driving clock are not synchronous when the clock series are inverted is avoided. Besides, a bi-directional serial controller further includes an identification unit and a data directing unit, and the serial controller is enabled to return the current status to a central control unit to serve as the reference for error detection.

  • Publication number: 20110210787
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of band pass filters to pass signals in separated frequency bands to or from an antenna. A matching network provides characteristic impedances. The system is designed such that the configuration of the matching network and BPFs provides high impedance to the band pass filters for those routing paths other than the band pass path as these routing paths do not transmit or receive the signals at this particular pass band. The system is further designed such that the configuration of the matching network and BPFs provides minimal insertion loss for the band pass path of for transmission and receipt of signals at this particular pass band, where each routing path has a corresponding pass band. The matching network is for coupling to an amplifier, when frequency separation is needed at the output of the amplifier to the BPFs. In one embodiment an impedance network tunes the impedance by using varying length transmission lines.

  • Patent number: 7952526
    Abstract: A dual-band resonator with compact size, such as a resonant type dual-band antenna, which uses an anisotropic metamaterial is described. The artificial anisotropic medium is implemented by employing a composite right/left-handed transmission line. The dispersion relation and the antenna physical size only depend on the composition of the unit cell and the number of cells used. By engineering the characteristics of the unit cells to be different in two orthogonal directions, the corresponding propagation constants can be controlled, thus enabling dual-band antenna resonances. In addition, the antenna dimensions can be markedly minimized by maximally reducing the unit cell size. A dual-band antenna is also described which is designed for operation at frequencies for PCS/Bluetooth applications, and which has a physical size of 1/18?0× 1/18?0× 1/19?0, where ?0 is the free space wavelength at 2.37 GHz.
