  • Publication number: 20060025088
    Abstract: A device for dynamic impedance matching between a power amplifier and an antenna, having a circulator (210), which routes a signal received from the power amplifier (10) at a first port via a second port to the antenna (30) and diverts the signal reflected at the antenna (30) and received at the second port through a third port; and a controllable matching network (24, 240, 250); is characterized in that a directional coupler (200) diverts a proportion of the signal traveling from the power amplifier (10) to the antenna (30), from which the magnitude and phase of the signal may be derived, to a signal detector (220); and the circulator (210) routes the entire signal reflected at the antenna (30) into the signal detector (220); wherein the signal detector (220) passes the magnitude and phase of both the signal traveling to the antenna (30) and the signal reflected at the antenna (30) to a controller (230), which evaluates the information received from the signal detector (220) in order to determine the present

  • Patent number: 6653913
    Abstract: The invention describes a tunable filter arrangement with at least two resonators which are coupled to one another and of which at least one is connected to a capacitor with tunable capacitance. The electrical properties of the resonator, and thus the overall filter characteristic, can be changed through a change in the capacitance of the capacitor. Furthermore, a transmitter, a receiver, a mobile telephone device, and a wireless data transmission system comprising such a filter arrangement are disclosed, as is a tunable bulk acoustic wave resonator.

  • Patent number: 6600386
    Abstract: A thin-film coupler with a carrier substrate (1) and two strip lines disposed thereon, of which one represents the main coupler loop (2) and one the auxiliary coupler loop (3). The use of inexpensive carrier substrate materials and a compact construction are made possible through an integration of a strip line, a coil, or an LC combination into the auxiliary coupler loop (3). The integration of these components (4) achieves a phase shift in the frequency of the signal coupled out so that a broadband coupler is obtained which exhibits an identical coupling at at least two frequencies.

  • Patent number: 6583688
    Abstract: The invention describes a tunable filter arrangement with a plurality of resonators which are coupled to one another and of which there is at least one which comprises a piezoelectric component made of a ferroelectric material and to which a DC voltage source is connected. The application of a DC voltage to the resonator renders it possible to change its electrical properties and thus the overall filter characteristic. Furthermore, a transmitter, a receiver device, and a mobile telephone device with such a filter arrangement are disclosed, aswell as a tunable bulk acoustic wave resonator.

  • Patent number: 6507498
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multiple-component unit in which at least two passive components have been realized one above the other. A multiple-component unit thus comprises at least one resistor and at least one capacitor, or at least two capacitors. This space-saving construction allows for a miniaturization of circuits. A further miniaturization can be achieved in that the multiple-component units are not manufactured as discrete components, but are integrated into ICs.

  • Publication number: 20020135970
    Abstract: The invention relates to a passive ceramic component with a carrier substrate (1), a first and a second electrode (2, 6), and a ferroelectric dielectric (5). The electrodes (2, 6) and the dielectric (5) preferably comprise a multilayer structure with at least a first and a second layer. The capacitance value C of the capacitor can be varied through the application of a voltage to the electrodes (2, 6), owing to the field dependence of the dielectric constant ≮r of the dielectric (5).
