  • Patent number: 9331659
    Abstract: An integrated circuit for a radio frequency (RF) circuit such as a voltage controlled oscillator or an injection locked frequency divider is provided. The integrated circuit architecture includes a primary LC tank circuit comprising a first inductor and a first capacitive device connected in parallel and one or more secondary LC tank circuits, each comprising an inductor and a capacitive device connected in parallel. Each of the one or more secondary LC tank circuits is strongly coupled to the primary LC tank circuit and to each other either electrically, magnetically or a combination of electrically and magnetically.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2016
    Assignee: Nanyang Technological University
    Inventors: Kai Xue Ma, Nagarajan Mahalingam, Shouxian Mou, Kiat Seng Yeo
  • Patent number: 9154104
    Abstract: A low pass filter circuit (100) structure is provided. The low pass filter circuit structure includes first and second dominant inductor (114, 116)s, a first capacitor (120) and first and second shunt capacitors (122, 124). The first dominant inductor has a first end and a second end and the second dominant inductor has a first end and a second end. The second end of the first dominant inductor is electrically connected to the second end of the second dominant inductor. The first capacitor is electrically coupled between the first end of the first dominant inductor and the first end of the second dominant inductor. The first shunt capacitor is electrically coupled between the first end of the first dominant inductor and a ground potential, and the second shunt capacitor is electrically coupled between the first end of the second dominant inductor and the group potential.
