    摘要: An acoustic wave filter includes a piezoelectric layer. A first acoustic wave device includes a portion of the piezoelectric layer and a first multi-layer interdigital transducer electrode disposed over the first portion of the piezoelectric layer. Additional acoustic wave devices are coupled to the first acoustic wave device, the additional acoustic wave devices including a second portion of the piezoelectric layer and a plurality of multi-layer interdigital transducer electrodes disposed over the second portion of the piezoelectric layer. At least one of the plurality of multi-layer interdigital transducer electrodes includes a layer that is thinner than a corresponding layer of the same material of the first multi-layer interdigital transducer electrode of the first acoustic wave device.

    摘要: The disclosed front end architectures are configured to conglomerate duplexer transmission (TX) contours into a specific or targeted region. This enables the power amplifier (PA) to match a larger number of frequency bands without the help of additional matching networks. The disclosed architectures are advantageous because they reduce the number of components (e.g., surface mount technology components (SMTs)) required for radio-frequency (RF) modules, such as front end modules, power amplifier modules, and the like. The disclosed architectures are also advantageous because they improve performance of the modules across a wider range of frequency bands.

    摘要: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a band pass filter that includes LC resonant circuits coupled to each other by a capacitor. A bridge capacitor can be in parallel with series capacitors, in which the series capacitors include the capacitor coupled between the LC resonant circuits. The bridge capacitor can create a transmission zero at a frequency below the passband of the band pass filter. The LC resonant circuits can each include a surface mount capacitor and a conductive trace of the substrate, and an integrated passive device die can include the capacitor. Band pass filters disclosed herein can be relatively compact, provide relatively good out-of-band rejection, and relatively low loss.

    摘要: Power amplifier having analog pre-distortion by adaptive degenerative feedback. In some embodiments, a pre-distortion circuit for an amplifier can include a transistor having an input node for receiving an input signal, an output node for providing an output signal having a gain relative to the input signal, and a common node for coupling to a ground. The pre-distortion circuit can further include a degeneration circuit implemented between the common node and the ground, with the degeneration circuit being configured to introduce a feedback response that reduces the gain when the input signal has a power level at or below a selected level. The degeneration circuit can be further configured to be disabled or provide a reduced feedback response when the input signal has a power level that exceeds the selected level.

    摘要: Components of a power amplifier controller may support lower voltages than the power amplifier itself. As a result, a surge protection circuit that prevents a power amplifier from being damaged due to a power surge may not effectively protect the power amplifier controller. Embodiments disclosed herein present an overvoltage protection circuit that prevents a charge-pump from providing a voltage to a power amplifier controller during a detected surge event. By separately detecting and preventing a voltage from being provided to the power amplifier controller during a surge event, the power amplifier controller can be protected regardless of whether the surge event results in a voltage that may damage the power amplifier. Further, embodiments of the overvoltage protection circuit can prevent a surge voltage from being provided to a power amplifier operating in 2G mode.
