Abstract:
A lattice tunable filtering circuit includes a first input and a second input, and a first output and a second output. The circuit includes two series branches and two parallel branches. The first and second series branches include a Tunable Resonator Component (TRC) which presents a first series resonance frequency whereas the third and fourth parallel branches present a second series resonance frequency which has a value being lower than that of the first series resonance frequency. The first and second series resonance frequencies are tunable by one analog control quantity. The filtering circuit further includes a feedback control loop for the control of the analog quantity, which feedback is based on a criterion of equality between the modulus of impedances Zs and Zp.

Abstract:
An electronic circuit comprises a resonator meant to be integrated into a semiconductor product including a resonator having first and second resonant frequencies. The electronic circuit comprises: a first inductive partner element for canceling out said second resonant frequency, said partner element having a quality coefficient QI (f) having a first value in a predetermined frequency band and a second value outside said frequency band; a second capacitive partner element for adjusting tuning of said resonator to said first frequency.
