    摘要: Disclosed herein are a clock generating circuit having a parasitic oscillation suppressing unit and a method of suppressing parasitic oscillation using the same. An output VDD of a parasitic component eliminating circuit is maintained in a high or low state according to the condition in which the output VDD falls from the high state to the low state and the condition in which the output VDD rises from the low state to the high state based on a threshold voltage VSPH when an input signal of the parasitic component eliminating circuit is changed from 0 to 1 and a threshold voltage VSPL when the input signal of the parasitic component eliminating circuit is changed from 1 to 0. Undesired parasitic oscillation is eliminated (suppressed) by the parasitic component eliminating circuit provided between a oscillator and a buffer.

    摘要: Methods and systems for receiving signals via a multi-port distributed antenna are disclosed and may include selectively enabling one or more low noise amplifiers (LNAs) coupled to the antenna. The selective enabling may be based on a desired gain level applied to a signal received from the antenna. The LNAs may be coupled to ports on the antenna based on an input impedance of the LNAs and an impedance of the ports. Each of the LNAs may be configured for optimum linearity in different gain ranges, which may be proportional to the input impedance of the LNAs. The antenna may be integrated on a chip with the LNAs, or may be located external to the chip. The antenna may include a microstrip antenna. The LNAs may include variable gain and may be enabled utilizing a processor. Linearity on demand may be enabled via the selective enabling of the LNAs.

An electrical path is completed between the first impedance element and the second impedance element via the first switch in the closed configuration. The electrical path is not completed in the open configuration. A total impedance of the first impedance element, the second impedance element, and the impedance switch module is varied based on the switching between the open configuration and the closed configuration.
