    Abstract: A power stage has a differential output stage 2 driven by one or more buffer stages 4. The buffer stages 4 are implemented as high and low side buffers 12,14, each of which is itself a differential buffer implemented using transistors formed in an isolated-well technology such as triple-well CMOS.

    Abstract: A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system for a mobile cellular network and method is described. The MIMO antenna system includes an array of dual-polarization patch antennas each having first and second polarization feed-points, a first polarization radio chain and a second polarization radio chain. The MIMO antenna system includes a beamformer coupled to the first and second polarization radio chains. The beamformer includes a beamformer channel for a respective feedpoint and further includes a transmit amplifier and a detector (coupler) coupled to a transmit amplifier output. In one mode of operation, a signal is transmitted via the first polarization feed-point of a dual-polarisation patch antennas and a replica of the transmitted signal may be sensed using the coupler at the output of the transmit amplifier and routed via the second polarization radio chain to a digital predistortion module. The digital pre-distortion module is configured to digitally pre-distort a signal for transmission dependent on the replica of the RF signal.

    Abstract: A transmission line includes a signal conductor and one or more return conductors, one or more of which having a stepped multi-layer structure. The return conductors may be disposed at opposite sides of the signal conductor. The return conductors may be multi-layer structures. At least some layers of each return conductor may have a stepped arrangement that defines a curve, such as an exponential curve. Additionally or alternatively, the signal conductor may be a stepped multi-layer structure, where at least some layers of the signal conductor may define a curve, such as an exponential curve. The signal conductor may be disposed at one or more upper layers of the transmission line or may be embedded at one or more layers near the center of the transmission line.
