Jouni Kristian Kaukovuori has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Amplifier
    Publication number: 20120293259
    Abstract: A configurable low noise amplifier circuit which is configurable between a first topology in which the low noise amplifier circuit includes a degeneration inductance stage whereby the low noise amplifier circuit operates as an inductively degenerated low noise amplifier, and a second topology in which the low noise amplifier circuit includes a common-gate low noise amplifier stage whereby the low noise amplifier circuit operates as a common-gate low noise amplifier. The second topology includes one or more internal input impedance matching components and the first topology does not include the one or more internal input impedance matching components.
    Type: Application

  • Amplifier
    Patent number: 8264282
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a configurable low noise amplifier circuit including a gain stage coupled to the input of the low noise amplifier circuit, the low noise amplifier circuit being configurable between one of a first topology in which the low noise amplifier circuit includes a degeneration inductance whereby the low noise amplifier circuit operates as an inductively degenerated low noise amplifier, and a second topology in which the low noise amplifier circuit includes an impedance matching stage coupled to an input of the configurable low noise amplifier circuit, the output of the impedance matching stage providing an input bias voltage for the impedance matching stage, and a feedback stage coupled to an output of the impedance matching stage and a voltage source, the feedback stage providing a compensated operating voltage for the impedance matching stage.
