  • Patent number: 11870397
    Abstract: The invention provides a radio frequency (RF) module and associated method with envelope tracking (ET) power supply in a device. The RF module may comprise a plurality of transmitters, an ET output, and an ET multiplexer. Each said transmitter may comprise an ET port and one or more RF outputs, and may be configured for providing an RF signal to one of said one or more RF outputs, and providing an ET signal, which reflects an envelope of the RF signal, to the ET port. The ET multiplexer may be coupled between said ET ports of the plurality of transmitters and the ET output, for selectively relaying one of said ET ports to the ET output.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7656205
    Abstract: A dual-injection locked frequency dividing circuit is proposed, which is designed for integration to a gigahertz signal processing circuit system for providing a frequency dividing function to gigahertz signals. The proposed circuit architecture is characterized by the provision of a dual-injection interface module on the input end for dividing the input signal into two parts for use as two injection signals, wherein the first injection signal is rendered in the form of a voltage signal and injected through a direct injection manner to the internal oscillation circuitry, while the second injection signal is rendered in the form of an electrical current and injected through a resonant circuit to the internal oscillation circuitry. This feature allow the proposed frequency dividing circuit to have broad frequency locking range and low power consumption.
