Abstract:
An impedance matching method which is used to save electrical energy by virtue of the fact that the method switches between modes for controlling impedance matching and modes for regulation of the impedance matching depending on the situation. An algorithm which, on the basis of control signals from an external circuit environment, controls or regulates the impedance of a variable-impedance circuit element is implemented in a logic circuit LC.
Abstract:
An impedance matching circuit for matching planar antennas includes a signal path with a signal path input and a signal path output. A first capacitive element with variable capacitance is connected between the signal path input and signal path output. A second capacitive element with variable capacitance is connected between the signal path and ground. A first inductive element is connected between the signal path input and ground. A second inductive element is connected between the signal path output and ground. An antenna line with an impedance between 30 and 60 ohm is connected to the signal path output.

A highly integrated electrical module is specified which comprises a filter circuit and a balun circuit. The space requirement is reduced by circuit components of the balun circuit being arranged at least in part on an inner side of the housing of the filter circuit.
Abstract:
A circuit is proposed by means of which a ceramic component having two electrodes can be provided with a uniform, but periodically alternating BIAS voltage. The component has properties dependent on the level of the BIAS voltage and, for the purpose of an increased service life, is connected to a generator for generating a BIAS voltage and to means for periodically reversing the polarity of the BIAS voltage present at the electrodes. In a method for operating the component having variable properties, a uniform BIAS voltage, the polarity of which is periodically reversed, however, is applied to the electrodes, and the service life of the component is thus increased.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a bulk acoustic wave filter comprising at least one first resonator and at least one second resonator. A longitudinal acoustic mode for which normal dispersion is adjusted in the first resonator and abnormal dispersion is adjusted for the second resonator by selecting the material and the relative layer thicknesses, is able to propagate in the resonators, thus making it possible to improve especially the power compatibility of the filter at the higher frequency edge of the passband thereof.
Abstract:
An electrical component includes a substrate, a first electrode layer, a structured growth layer that is thinner than the first electrode layer, a piezoelectric layer, and a second electrode layer. The growth layer is on the first electrode layer, the growth layer is structured relative to the first electrode layer, and the growth layer has a smaller surface area than the first electrode layer. The growth layer may be selected to support ordered growth relative to the piezoelectric layer.

The electrical circuit also includes a first shunt branch between the second terminal of first electrical port and ground.
Abstract:
A filter for use with bulk acoustic waves includes an input port and an output port. The input port and the output port are symmetrically operable. Signal paths extend from a terminal of the input port to a terminal of the output port. Bulk acoustic wave resonators are in the signal pats. The bulk acoustic wave resonators are arranged symmetrically in the signal paths. A complex impedance associated with each signal path is provided for electrically matching to a corresponding connection.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a duplexer with a transmit-receive path, which branches on the output side into a receive path and a transmit path. The receive path is preferably designed on the input side for transmitting an asymmetric signal and on the output side for transmitting a symmetric signal. A receive filter, which operates with surface acoustic waves, is arranged in the receive path. A transmit filter, which operates with bulk acoustic waves, is arranged in the transmit path. The filters are preferably constructed as separate chips, which are mounted on a common carrier substrate.
