Paul Anthony Denny 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).

  • Radio frequency switch including voltage multiplier
    Patent number: 5924019
    Abstract: A radio frequency switch includes a field-effect-transistor (FET) having a gate connected to a voltage multiplier. The control voltage for the switch is delivered to the voltage multiplier which delivers an increased gate voltage to turn the switch on. The voltage multiplier is driven by fluctuations of the control voltage as a transceiver, for example, is switched from the transmit to the receive mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 1996
    Date of Patent: July 13, 1999
    Assignee: National Semiconductor Corporation
