  • Patent number: 7847655
    Abstract: Disclosed is a switch circuit capable of reducing distortion caused by harmonics and preventing an increase in insertion loss even if the number of ports increases. The switching circuit includes one common output port, M first switches having one set of ends connected in common to a first node (M?2 where M is a constant), N second switches having one set of ends connected in common to the common output port (N?1 where N is a constant), a third switch having one end connected to the common output port and the other end connected to the first node, M first input ports respectively connected to the other set of ends of the first switches, and N second input ports respectively connected to the other set of ends of the second switches. One selected among the first input ports and the second input ports is connected to the common output port, and if one of the first input ports is selected, the third switch is closed.

  • Publication number: 20010022534
    Abstract: Disclosed is a power amplifier, which can lessen distributive and synthetic losses, minimize the size and realize a high effective signal wave thereof. The power amplifier comprises phase converters allocated at front and rear ends of the amplifying elements to include inductors employing an air core coil having a high Q value in a high frequency band, where the phase converter located at the front end of the amplifying elements distributes an input signal to an antiphase signal with the same oscillating width so as to be amplified by the amplifying elements, and the phase converter located at the rear end of the amplifying elements synthesizes and outputs the antiphase signal amplified by the amplifying elements.
