    Abstract: A predistorter has a first capacitor and an impedance conversion circuit. A first end of the first capacitor is coupled to a first node of the amplifier. The impedance conversion circuit is used to perform an impedance conversion to provide a variable capacitance. The impedance conversion circuit has a first bias input circuit and a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). The first bias input circuit is used to receive a first input bias. A base of the BJT is coupled to an output end of the first bias input circuit and a second end of the first capacitor, a collector of the BJT is floating, and an emitter of the BJT is coupled to a second node of the amplifier.

    Abstract: A signal detector includes a signal input terminal, N first resistors, (N−1) second resistors, a third resistor, M voltage-to-current units and a collection unit. A first terminal of a 1st first resistor is coupled to the signal input terminal. A first terminal of an ith first resistor is coupled to a second terminal of an (i−1)th first resistor. A first terminal of a kth second resistor is coupled to a second terminal of a kth first resistor. A second terminal of each second resistor is coupled to a reference voltage terminal. The third resistor is coupled between the reference voltage terminal and a second terminal of an Nth first resistor. Each voltage-to-current unit is coupled to a first terminal of a corresponding first resistor for converting a corresponding detection voltage to a detection current. The collection unit is coupled to the M voltage-to-current units for generating a detection signal according to at least the M detection currents.

    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) switch includes a common port, a first port, and a second port, a first semiconductor switching element disposed in a first RF pathway between the common port and the first port, a second semiconductor switching element disposed in a second RF pathway between the common port and the second port, a first pair of direct current (DC) blocking capacitors disposed to isolate the first semiconductor switching element in the first RF pathway, and a second pair of DC blocking capacitors disposed to isolate the second semiconductor switching element in the second RF pathway. The respective pairs of DC blocking capacitors allow for different bias voltages to be applied to the respective RF pathways. A charge-discharge circuit may also be employed to decrease transient switching time of the RF switch.
