    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a shielded radio frequency component with an integrated antenna. An antenna can be on a first side of a multi-layer substrate and a radio frequency component can be disposed on a second side of the multi-layer substrate such that a ground plane of the multi-layer substrate is positioned between the antenna and the radio frequency component. Conductive features can be disposed around the radio frequency component and electrically connected to the ground plane. The conductive features and the ground plane can provide shielding for the radio frequency component. In certain embodiments, the conductive features can include bumps, such as solder bumps and/or copper pillars.

  • Publication number: 20160197746
    Abstract: To maintain linear operation of a signal processing circuit, such as a low noise amplifier, a peak detector detects a peak of a signal associated with the signal processing circuit and compares the detected peak signal with a threshold. When the detected peak signal is greater than the threshold, a variable current source biases the signal processing circuit to place the signal processing circuit in a different mode of operation. The signal processing circuit may thereby process a larger input signal while operating in an acceptable linear region.

  • Patent number: 9203657
    Abstract: To maintain linear operation of a signal processing circuit, such as a low noise amplifier, a peak detector detects a peak of a signal associated with the signal processing circuit and compares the detected peak signal with a threshold. When the detected peak signal is greater than the threshold, a fixed current source biases the signal processing circuit to place the signal processing circuit in a different mode of operation. The signal processing circuit may thereby process a larger input signal while operating in an acceptable linear region.
