Patents by Inventor Richard Bryon Whatley

Richard Bryon Whatley 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).

  • Tunable and integrated impedance matching and filter circuit
    Patent number: 10340876
    Abstract: A high performance integrated tunable impedance matching network with coupled merged inductors. Embodiments include a combination of merged multiport constructively coupled spiral inductors and tunable capacitors configured to reduce insertion losses, circuit size, and optimization time while maintaining a high Q factor for the coupled spiral inductors. Some embodiments integrate one or more filter circuits with a tunable impedance matching network, useful in conjunction with such applications as radio frequency power amplifiers.
    Type: Grant
