  • Publication number: 20220085772
    Abstract: A packaged RF amplifier device includes input and output leads and a transistor die. The transistor die includes a transistor with a drain-source capacitance below 0.1 picofarads per watt. The device also includes a conductive connection between the transistor output terminal and the output lead, and a baseband termination circuit between the transistor output terminal and a ground reference node. The baseband termination circuit presents a low impedance to signal energy at envelope frequencies and a high impedance to signal energy at RF frequencies. The baseband termination circuit includes an inductive element, a resistor, and a capacitor connected in series between the transistor output terminal and the ground reference node. Except for a minimal impedance transformation associated with the conductive connection, the device is unmatched between the transistor output terminal and the output lead by being devoid of impedance matching circuitry between the transistor output terminal and the output lead.

  • Patent number: 11038760
    Abstract: Embodiments provide resource adjustment method, apparatus, and system. Under the method characteristic information of a service flow can be received by a communications network. A transmission path of the service flow can be determined based on a correspondence between the characteristic information of the service flow and the transmission path of the service flow. The transmission path includes a start network function NF and an end NF through which the service flow passes, and a link between the start NF and the end NF. A resource adjustment policy can then be determined for the transmission path to adjust a resource required by the service flow. With this, statuses of all network resources used for performing a service are considered during resource adjustment.
