  • Device for impedance matching a component, comprising a filter having matchable impedance, based on a perovskite type material
    Patent number: 9281798
    Abstract: A device comprises at the input a first component (PA) having a first output impedance (Z1), at the output a second component (ANT) having a second input impedance (Z2), and an impedance-matching network between said first and second components. Because the first and/or the second impedance vary/varies, said impedance-matching network comprises a filter (Fadp), with an impedance that is matchable to the first and second impedances, located between said first and second components and comprising at least two acoustic wave coupled resonators. At least one of the resonators comprises a perovskite type material and means for applying a voltage to said resonator, which enable the permittivity and the impedance thereof to be varied.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for providing content to media devices
    Publication number: 20060112167
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing rich content to media devices are disclosed. Information content is converted at a content provider system for transmission to a media device over a wireless communication network. The converted content is processed by a media engine on the media device. The content is preferable converted at the content provider system into a binary format having separate visual elements and behavior elements.
