  • Patent number: 10389302
    Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator includes an oscillation generator, two inductors and two amplifiers. The oscillation generator generates two oscillation voltage signals based on a control voltage. Each inductor receives a respective oscillation voltage signal, and provides a respective input voltage signal. Each amplifier generates a respective current signal based on a respective input voltage signal. When one of the current signals has a magnitude that varies according to a magnitude of the respective input voltage signal, the other of the current signals has a constant magnitude. The current signals are combined into an output current signal at a common node of the amplifiers.

  • Patent number: 10333466
    Abstract: A multi-order wave voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) includes a power impedance matching unit, a signal transmitting unit, a harmonic wave eliminating unit and an oscillation frequency adjusting unit. The power impedance matching unit includes an input end, an output end and a first transmission line between the input end and the output end. The first transmission line is a ¼-wavelength transmission line based on a wavelength of an output harmonic wave. The signal transmitting unit includes multiple upper inductor electrically connected to the output end and multiple lower inductors electrically connected to a ground end. The harmonic wave eliminating unit includes multiple transistors electrically connected to the signal transmitting unit and each having a drain electrically connected to a gate of the adjacent transistor to form a multi-order ring loop. The oscillation frequency adjusting unit includes multiple varactors.

  • Patent number: 10205427
    Abstract: A multi-way power amplifier circuit includes two baluns and a number (2×N) of differential power amplifiers, where N?2. Each balun generates a number (N) of corresponding differential intermediate signal pairs based on a respective to-be-amplified signal. Each differential power amplifier generates a respective differential amplified signal pair based on a respective differential intermediate signal pair. One of the baluns includes: a first transmission line and a second transmission line connected to each other; a number (N) of third transmission lines electromagnetically coupled to the first transmission line; and a number (N) of fourth transmission lines electromagnetically coupled to the second transmission line.
