摘要:
A low noise filter is arranged to receive an input signal from a downconverter. The low noise filter is constructed to block or cancel any DC offset in the input signal, as well as filter selected frequency components from the input signal. The low noise filter uses a shared capacitor both to handle the DC offset and to set filter response characteristics. As the low noise filter is implemented with a Frequency Dependent Negative Resistance (FDNR) device, the shared capacitor may be relatively small. The low noise filter has a load capacitor, with the output of the load capacitor coupled to a bias resistor and voltage. This bias structure cooperates with the load capacitor to set a high cutoff frequency for the low noise filter useful for blocking or canceling the DC offset.

A receiver for a multi-mode wireless device is provided. The receiver has multiple analog RF front end modules, with each module supporting a different mode of operation. The receiver has a single digital backend module for generating a digital baseband signal. A controller selects one of the available RF modules to use, and the selected RF module provides an analog communication signal to the digital backend. Each available mode has an associated set of factors. When a particular mode is selected, the set of factors associated with the selected mode is provided to the digital backend. The digital backend uses these factors to adjust the processing characteristics of its components, such as its analog to digital converter, filters, and gain controller. In this way, the single digital backend is adaptable to the requirements of each of the available radio modes.

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to chambers and methods of processing substrates therein. The chambers generally include separate process gas and purge gas regions. The process gas region and purge gas region each have a respective gas inlet and gas outlet. The methods generally include positioning a substrate on a substrate support within the chamber. The plane of the substrate support defines the boundary between a process gas region and purge gas region. Purge gas is introduced into the purge gas region through at least one purge gas inlet, and removed from the purge gas region using at least one purge gas outlet. The process gas is introduced into the process gas region through at least one process gas inlet, and removed from the process gas region through at least one process gas outlet. The process gas is thermally decomposed to deposit a material on the substrate.

A multi-band communication device configured with a mobile communication device for voice or data communication over a cellular, satellite or other communication network and configured with an auxiliary communication system configured to receive and/or transmit an auxiliary communication signal. The mobile communication device and auxiliary communication system are integrated into the same components within the multi-band communication device thereby allowing the components to share the processing tasks associated with each communication device within the multi-band communication device. The auxiliary communication device may be configured to operate during standby mode of the mobile communication device, such as during reception of a paging signal. The auxiliary communication device may comprise, but is not limited to, AM or FM radio, personal communication devices such as FRS, GMRS, or weather band radio.

Patterning effects on a substrate are reduced during radiation-based heating by filtering the radiation source or configuring the radiation source to produce radiation having different spectral characteristics. For the filtering, an optical filter may be used to truncate specific wavelengths of the radiation. The different configurations of the radiation source include a combination of one or more continuum radiation sources with one or more discrete spectrum sources, a combination of multiple discrete spectrum sources, or a combination of multiple continuum radiation sources. Furthermore, one or more of the radiation sources may be configured to have a substantially non-normal angle of incidence or polarized to reduce patterning effects on a substrate during radiation-based heating.

A dynamically varying linearity system “DVLS” capable of varying the linearity of a radio frequency (RF) front-end of a communication device responsive to receiving a condition signal indicating a desired mode of operation of a transmitter. The DVLS may include a condition signal indicative of the desired mode of operation and a controller that adjusts the linearity of the transmitter responsive to the condition signal. The condition signal may be responsive to a user interface. The controller, responsive to the condition signal, may dynamically adjust the operating current of the transmitter.

A method of cleaning a chamber used for annealing doped wafer substrates. In one embodiment the method provides removing dopants deposited in an annealing chamber after an annealing process of a doped substrate by flowing one or more volatilizing gases into the annealing chamber, applying heat to volatilize the deposited dopants in the annealing chamber, and exhausting the chamber to remove volatilized dopants from the annealing chamber.
