Abstract:
This invention relates to combining apparatus for apparatus which is used for the transmission and/or receiving of data signals in, for example, a wireless communication network. The combining apparatus ensures the required isolation and separation of the frequency sub bands used for the transmission of signals from a plurality of base transceiver stations and ensures that all received signals in a predetermined frequency band within which the sub bands are located are made available for use as required by the said base transceiver stations while, at the same time, allowing the required performance, size and/or expense of the filters used in the combining apparatus to be reduced.

Abstract:
Systems for reducing magnetic coupling in integrated circuits (ICs) are disclosed. Related components and methods are also disclosed. The ICs have a plurality of inductors. Each inductor generates a magnetic flux that has a discernible axis. To reduce magnetic coupling between the inductors, the flux axes are designed so as to be non-parallel. In particular, by making the flux axes of the inductors non-parallel to one another, magnetic coupling between the inductors is reduced relative to the situation where the flux axes are parallel. This arrangement may be particularly well suited for use in diplexers having a low pass and a high pass filter.
Abstract:
Tunable diplexers in three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (IC) (3DIC) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the tunable diplexer may be formed by providing one of either a varactor or a variable inductor in the diplexer. The variable nature of the varactor or the variable inductor allows a notch in the diplexer to be tuned so as to select a band stop to eliminate harmonics at a desired frequency as well as control the cutoff frequency of the pass band. By stacking the elements of the diplexer into three dimensions, space is conserved and a variety of varactors and inductors are able to be used.
Abstract:
Lumped-element (L E , C E , L CHIR , C CHIR ) based class-E Chireix combiners are disclosed that are equivalents of a quarter-wave transmission line combiner. The proposed class-E equivalent power amplifier circuits that are used can be derived from a parallel tuned class-E implementation. The proposed low-pass equivalents can behave similarly in terms of class-E performance, but absorb the 90 degree transmission line.
