Abstract: A transmitter synthesizes a signal having a phase modulated component and an amplitude modulated component. Phase and amplitude reference signals are generated from phase and amplitude information extracted from an offset output and offset input signal. An origin-offset signal source generates a compensation signal which is combined with the input and output signals to generate the offset input and output signals.

Abstract: In a switching scheme mechanical MEMs switches are connected in parallel with solid state switches. This parallel MEMS/solid-state switch arrangement takes advantage of the fast switching speeds of the solid state switches as well advantage of the improved insertion loss and isolation characteristics of the MEMS switches. The solid-state switches only need to be energized during a ramp up/down period associated with the slower MEMs switch thus conserving power. As an additional advantage, using a solid-state switch in parallel with MEMs switches improves the transient spectrum of the system during switching operations.
