  • Patent number: 8326234
    Abstract: A high frequency switching circuit, including a high frequency switching element. The high frequency switching element including a first channel terminal and a second channel terminal, wherein the high frequency switching element is configured to switchably route a high frequency signal via a channel path between the first channel terminal and the second channel terminal. The high frequency switching circuit further includes a power detection circuit, wherein the power detection circuit is configured to obtain a first measurement signal from the first channel terminal and a second measurement signal from the second channel terminal, and to combine the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal to derive, in dependence on both the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal, a power signal describing a power value of the high frequency signal routed via the channel path of the high frequency switching element.

  • Patent number: 7528680
    Abstract: An electrical filter has at least four terminals, two inductances and two capacitors. The first inductance is connected between the first terminal and the second terminal, and a second inductance is connected between the third terminal and the fourth terminal. The first capacitance is connected between the first terminal and a reference potential, and the second capacitance is connected between the third terminal and the reference potential. The first inductance and the second inductance form a transformer having a coupling coefficient of a magnitude such that the filter acts as a low-pass filter for differential signals and common mode signals, a cutoff frequency for differential signals being higher than a cutoff frequency for common mode signals.
