  • Patent number: 6545564
    Abstract: An RF signal divider useful in the 250 to 2500 MHz range includes an RF input connection and a plurality of RF output connections. A resistive path connects each RF output connection from an RF output connection with a impedance ZL to a common node with an impedance ZQ. An input impedance transformer couples an RF input connection with an input impedance ZL to the common node. This RF signal divider is characterized by good insertion loss variation and isolation over the entire frequency range and by a minimal circuit area.

  • Patent number: 6020783
    Abstract: A filter network having the capability of establishing multiple, tunable notch frequencies. A notch filter path is established for each notch frequency and includes a bandpass filter and inverter. An input RF signal covering a wide frequency range is applied to all the notch filter paths. Each notch filter path produces an output spectrum that is equal in magnitude and 180.degree. out of phase with respect to an undesired frequency spectrum. A combiner circuit combines the outputs of each notch filter path in parallel with the RF input signal to produce an RF output signal with all desired spectra unchanged and all undesired spectra attenuated.
