摘要: At very high frequencies, generally above 100 GHz, the performance of traditional radio frequency (RF) circuitry begins to significantly limit performance. An example is the hybrid coupler, which can have a relatively narrow 90° bandwidth in these frequency ranges. Here, however, a branch-line hybrid coupler (which has been integrated into a quadrature downconversion mixer) has been modified. Namely, an adjustable impedance network has been coupled to isolation port (which has traditionally been terminated) to substantially increase the tuning range and expand the bandwidth of the quadrature mixer within these very high frequency ranges.

摘要: Blixers, which are a relatively recent development, have not be studied as extensively as many older circuit designs. Here, a blixer is provided that improves linearity and reduces noise over other conventional blixer designs. To accomplish this, the blixer provided here uses a differential amplifier and/or a dummy path within its mixing circuit to perform noise reduction (and improve linearity).

摘要: An antenna is provided. This antenna is contained within a package that is secured to an IC (which allows radiation to propagated away for a printed circuit board so as to reduce interference), and this antenna includes two loop antennas that are shorted to ground and that “overlap” and includes a “via wall.” With this configuration, circular polarization can be achieved by varying the relative phases of the input signals, and the “via wall” improves efficiency by reducing surface waves.

摘要: There are a variety of duty cycle systems, such as low noise amplifiers or LNAs, that have a large time varying current consumption, and parasitic inductances and resistance (usually from bondwires in the package) that can significantly affect supply currents. Thus, to compensate for these parasitics, a boost circuit is provided that allows for current to be supplied from a separate supply using a feedforward scheme to perform active decoupling.

摘要: A method for providing common-mode feedback is provided. A common-mode current is applied to a common-gate amplifier, and the common-mode current is sensed. In response to the sensed common-mode current, a control voltage is generated. A first feedback current (which is generated in response to the control voltage) can then be applied to differential ground of the common-gate amplifier if the common-mode current is less than a predetermined threshold. Additionally, a second feedback current (which is generated in response to the control voltage) can be applied to input terminals of the common-gate amplifier if the common-mode current is greater than the predetermined threshold.
