    摘要: Methods that create an array of BAW resonators by patterning a mass load layer to control the resonant frequency of the resonators and resonators formed thereby, are disclosed. Patterning the surface of a mass load layer and introducing apertures with dimensions smaller than the acoustic wavelength, or dimpling the mass load layer, modifies the acoustic path length of the resonator, thereby changing the resonant frequency of the device. Patterns of variable density allow for further tuning the resonators and for individualized tuning of a resonator in an array of resonators. Patterning a reflowable material for the mass load layer, thereby providing a variable pattern density and distribution followed by elevating the temperature of the mass load layer above its melting point causes the material to liquefy and fill into the apertures to redistribute the mass load layer, thereby, upon subsequent cooling, providing resonators with a predetermined desired resonant frequency.

    摘要: A fully differential operational amplifier includes first and second frequency dependent impedance dividers, preferably frequency dependent current dividers, each of which has an input, a noninverting output and an inverting output. A respective input is coupled to a differential input signal. The noninverting output of the first frequency dependent impedance divider is electrically coupled to the inverting output of the second frequency dependent impedance divider, and the noninverting output of the second impedance divider is electrically coupled to the inverting output of the first divider. A current feedback buffer electrically couples the noninverting output of a respective frequency dependent impedance divider to its associated input. The cross coupling and current feedback buffers provide positive feedback action which merges the inverting and noninverting differential signals as a function of frequency. The frequency dependent impedance dividers preferably deliver substantially all of the current at the input thereof to the associated inverted output at relatively low frequencies (DC) and split the current at the input between the associated inverting and noninverting outputs at relatively high frequencies. Each frequency dependent current divider may be implemented by a pair of cascode transistors one of which is loaded by a cascoded current mirror. High DC gain coupled with high and symmetric slew rate and high common mode rejection is thereby provided.

    摘要: A method for identifying a signal subject to intersymbol interference comprising the steps of receiving .tau.+1 samples of the signal where .tau. is greater than or equal to one; searching a tree representation of known values to determine the path of the branch of the tree which most closely corresponds to the .tau.+1 samples of the signal; and releasing the symbol of the first metric of the determined branch. The released symbol is the identity of the sample. Preferably, the receiving step includes the step of receiving .tau.+1 sequential samples, with each sample corresponding to a unique portion of the signal, and the searching step includes the step of comparing each symbol of each metric of each path of each branch with the symbol's corresponding sample in regard to time. An apparatus for identifying a signal subject to intersymbol interference comprising a device for implementing a fixed delay tree search on samples of the signal to determine a symbol associated with a given sample and then releasing that sample. The apparatus also is comprised of a device for inputting samples to the implementing a device.

    摘要: A bulk acoustic wave resonator structure that isolates the core resonator from both environmental effects and aging effects. The structure has a piezoelectric layer at least partially disposed between two electrodes. The structure is protected against contamination, package leaks, and changes to the piezoelectric material due to external effects while still providing inertial resistance. The structure has one or more protective elements that limit aging effects to at or below a specified threshold. The resonator behavior is stabilized across the entire bandwidth of the resonance, not just at the series resonance. Examples of protective elements include a collar of material around the core resonator so that perimeter and edge-related environmental and aging phenomena are kept away from the core resonator, a Bragg reflector formed above or below the piezoelectric layer and a cap formed over the piezoelectric layer.
