Patent number: 8610503Abstract: Apparatus and methods for oscillation suppression are disclosed. In one embodiment, a power amplifier system includes a plurality of power amplifiers for amplifying an input radio frequency (RF) signal to generate an output RF signal. The plurality of power amplifiers include a first power amplifier, a second power amplifier, and a third power amplifier, each of which are configured to be individually switchable between an enabled state and a disabled state so as to control a power amplification of the power amplifier system. A first capacitor is electrically connected between the outputs of the first and second power amplifiers, and a second capacitor is electrically connected between the outputs of the second and third power amplifiers. The first and second capacitors are configured to allow signals generated using the first, second, and third power amplifiers to combine constructively to generate the output RF signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Skyworks Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Lee Kaczman, Haibo Cao, Russ Alan Reisner, Nai-Shuo Cheng, James Phillip Young

Publication number: 20130015836Abstract: A low noise step-down converter includes a rectified voltage output, a pulse generator, a rectifying diode, a rectifying inductor, a rectifying capacitor, and an impedance element. The rectified voltage output is provided for outputting a converted voltage. The pulse generator includes a pulse wave output. The pulse generator receives an input voltage and outputs a pulse wave through the pulse wave output. The rectifying diode is reversely coupled to the pulse wave output. One end of the rectifying inductor is connected to the pulse wave output for receiving the pulse wave while the other is connected to the rectified voltage output. One end of the rectifying capacitor is connected to the rectified voltage output, and the other end is electrically grounded. The impedance element at least provides resistance impedance and inductance impedance, wherein the rectifying diode and the impedance element are connected in series and are electrically grounded.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2011Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: Wistron CorporationInventors: Chiu-Hsien Chang, Ming-Feng Wu, Nai-Shuo Cheng, Yen-Ting Chen

Patent number: 6842072Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a gain reduction circuit comprises a first terminal, where the first terminal is coupled to a control signal. The gain reduction circuit further comprises a second terminal, where the second terminal is coupled to an input of an amplifier, and where the amplifier is configured to operate in low-power mode and high-power mode. The gain reduction circuit further comprises a transistor coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal. The transistor can be, for example, a bipolar transistor, such as an NPN GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor, having a base, a collector, and an emitter, where the base being is coupled the control signal, the collector is coupled to the input of the amplifier, and the emitter is coupled to ground. According to this exemplary embodiment, the transistor causes a gain of the amplifier to be reduced when the amplifier is operating in low-power mode.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2003Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: Skyworks Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Nai-Shuo Cheng, Kevin Choi, Peter P.
