Patent number: 7986184Abstract: A variety of circuits, methods and devices are implemented for radiofrequency amplifiers. According to one such implementation, a radiofrequency amplifier circuit is implemented in a SMD package. The circuit amplifies a radiofrequency signal having a base-band portion and a plurality of carrier signals frequency-spaced larger than the base-band bandwidth.

Patent number: 7385469Abstract: The integrated microelectronics component comprises an electric conductor forming a transmission line element for a radio frequency electromagnetic wave. This electric conductor is surrounded at least partially by a preferably closed magnetic circuit, formed at least by superposition of a layer of ferromagnetic material having a saturation magnetization value greater than or equal to 800 kA/m and of a layer of magnetic material. The layer of magnetic material then generates a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in the adjacent ferromagnetic layer. A high magnetization can then be combined with a high anisotropy, thus enabling operation in high frequency ranges, for example about 5 to 20 GHz.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2006Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie AtomiqueInventors: Jean-Philippe Michel, Yann Lamy, Anne-Sophie Royet, Bernard Viala
