Abstract:
A circuit includes an amplifier configured to amplify an input signal and generate an output signal. The circuit also includes a tuning network configured to tune frequency response of the amplifier. The tuning network includes at least one tunable capacitor, where the at least one tunable capacitor includes at least one micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) capacitor. The amplifier could include a first die, the at least one MEMS capacitor could include a second die, and the first die and the second die could be integrated in a single package. The at least one MEMS capacitor could include a MEMS superstructure disposed over a control structure, where the control structure is configured to control the MEMS superstructure and tune the capacitance of the at least one MEMS capacitor.
