  • Patent number: 8848771
    Abstract: Systems and methods for simultaneously communicating over multiple air interfaces using a single transceiver are described herein. An input is received at a transceiver. The input has a first signal encoded using a first radio technology and a second signal encoded using a second radio technology. The input is converted from an analog domain to a digital domain. The input is separated into the first signal and the second signal in the digital domain.

  • Publication number: 20110316657
    Abstract: A three-dimensional inductor or transformer for an electronic packaging system that includes a plurality of conductive traces and a plurality of conductive wire bonds. The traces are located in a single layer, and each have a first and second pad. Each of the wire bonds couples the second pad of one trace to the first pad of another trace. The trace and wire bonds create a continuous conductive path from the first pad of a first trace to the second pad of a last trace. Passing a current from the first trace to the last trace creates an electromagnetic field between the single layer and the wire bonds. The transformer includes two independent and electromagnetically coupled inductors that can be interleaved. The continuous conductive path can be solenoid-shaped. A shielding layer can also be included that blocks the substrate from the electromagnetic field of the inductor or transformer.
