    摘要: An RFIC configuration for reduced antenna trace loss is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a primary RFIC and a secondary RFIC that is configured to receive analog signals from at least two antennas. The secondary RFIC is configured to process selected analog signals received from at least one antenna to generate an analog output that is input to the primary RFIC.

    摘要: Methods and circuits can down convert at least a first RF signal on a first path in a first frequency band to provide a first IF signal. A second RF signal on second path in a second frequency band can be down converted to provide a second IF signal. The first IF signal and the second IF signal are interspersed in the frequency domain, and the first frequency band is different from the second frequency band. A combiner can combine at least part of the first IF signal and the second IF signal to provide a combined signal on an output signal path for reception by a digital processing circuit. The first IF signal or second IF signal can be a Zero IF (ZIF), very low IF (VLIF), or Low IF (LIF) signal.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to techniques and apparatus for adjusting capacitance in one or more metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors in an effort to reduce capacitance variation between semiconductor devices and improve yield during fabrication. One example method for fabricating a semiconductor device generally includes measuring a capacitance value of a MIM capacitor of the semiconductor device, determining the measured capacitance value of the MIM capacitor is above a target capacitance value for the MIM capacitor, and selectively rupturing a set of connections in the MIM capacitor based on the measured capacitance value. Selectively rupturing the set of connections in the MIM capacitor may reduce the capacitance value of the MIM capacitor to a value approximately that of the target capacitance value.
