    摘要: A system or method for controlling a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) or LO buffer includes an amplitude detector for detecting an amplitude value at a node corresponding to the at least one output line. A comparator compares the detected amplitude value with a predetermined amplitude value, and outputs a first digital value when the detected amplitude value is greater than the predetermined amplitude value, and a second digital value when the detected amplitude value is less than the predetermined amplitude value. An accumulator accumulates outputs of the comparator so as to provide an accumulated digital amplitude value. A digital-to-analog converter converts the accumulated digital amplitude value to an accumulated analog amplitude value. The analog accumulated amplitude value is provided as an updated bias control signal to the bias transistor of the VCO or LO buffer.

    摘要: Periodic near field directors (PNFDs) are coupled to a transmitter and a receiver for a short-range millimeter wave wireless (M2W2) interconnect for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals at millimeter-wave frequencies for short-range communication with high data rate capability between the transmitter and receiver. Each of the periodic near field directors is comprised of one or more periodic coupling structures (PCSs), wherein the periodic coupling structures are comprised of metallic strips positioned such that their lengthwise dimension is substantially perpendicular to a propagation direction of the radio frequency signals between the transmitter and receiver. Each of the periodic coupling structures is positioned parallel to adjacent periodic coupling structures with a separation distance between each periodic coupling structure being within one wavelength of the radio frequency signal. The periodic near field directors may include first and second periodic near field directors that are coupled to each other for transmitting and receiving the radio frequency signals between the first and second periodic near field directors, wherein there is an air gap between the first and second periodic near field directors.

    摘要: A front-end module comprises a plurality of chips that includes first and second functional blocks and an interconnection circuit. The first functional block is formed using a first process type and includes a digital control circuit that generates a digital control signal in response to an external control signal from outside the front end module. The second functional block is formed using a second process type and includes a digitally controlled circuit controlled by the digital control signal generated by the first functional block. The second process type is different from the first process type. The interconnection circuit couples the digital control circuit and the digitally controlled circuit to provide the digital control signal to the digitally controlled circuit. In one aspect, the first functional block may be a low noise amplifier formed by a pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor process. The second functional block may be a power amplifier formed by a heterojunction bipolar transistor process. In another aspect, the first functional block may be a power amplifier formed by a heterojunction bipolar transistor process. The second functional block may be a low noise amplifier formed by a pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor process.
