Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to an inductor-capacitor (LC) resonator. In accordance with one aspect, the LC resonator architecture includes a lower metal plate, the lower metal plate is of an open configuration; an upper metal plate, the upper metal plate is stacked vertically above the lower metal plate and is vertically aligned to the lower metal plate; a first ultra thick metal (UTM) plate, the first UTM plate is stacked vertically above the upper metal plate and is vertically aligned to both the upper metal plate and the lower metal plate; and an electrical coupling to couple the first UTM plate to the upper metal plate, wherein a current on the first UTM plate flows through to the upper metal plate through the electrical coupling, the current flows in a direction on the first UTM plate and in the same direction on the upper metal plate.

Abstract: A wave cable transceiver system is disclosed incorporating an air-core or noble gas filled hollow plastic waveguide. The system may include a transmitter receiver, in-antennas and a tubular plastic waveguide with the inner air-core. The hollow plastic waveguide is a low loss and low dispersion guiding channel for the electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: In an integrated circuit package that houses radio-frequency (RF) circuits or components using wafer-level packaging (WLP), an RF-signal transmission structure includes a signal-carrying conductive line positioned between grounded conductive lines to avoid undesirable coupling between the signal-carrying conductive line and other RF circuits or components in the same package.

Abstract: A tunable guard ring for improved circuit isolation is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a closed loop guard ring formed on an integrated circuit and magnetically coupled by a selected coupling factor to a first inductor formed on the integrated circuit. The apparatus also includes a tunable capacitor forming a portion of the closed loop guard ring and configured to reduce magnetic field coupling from the first inductor to a second inductor.
