    摘要: The present invention provides a flexible mechanical bridge over a microstrip on a substrate, which utilizes an electromagnetic field increase, as generated by temporary power surge to shunt harmful power away from a MMIC system. The invention includes a power limiter which includes an airbridge 11, preferably in the form of an electrically conductive strip with ground contacts 1 and 3 formed thereon. The ground contacts 1 and 2 are electrically connected, through via holes 5 and 7 respectively, to a metallization layer 15 formed on the bottom side of a substrate 9. The air bridge 11 is designed such that it traverses an electrically conductive microstrip 13 forming an air gap 16 between the air bridge 11 and the electrically conductive microstrip 13. When there is a power surge the air bridge 11, will flex to cause an electrical connection with the microstrip 13, thereby directing the unwanted signal through the ground contacts 1 and 3 and the via holes 5 and 7 to the metallization layer 15.

    摘要: A method for damping an LC filter coupled to a converter and generating a filter signal. The method comprises sensing the filter signal and processing the filter signal to generate a corresponding feedback signal. The feedback signal is subtracted from a controller signal to generate a difference signal. The difference signal is used for damping the LC filter.

    摘要: A data transmission system is proposed, for example for video-on-demand, internet or multimedia applications, in which a number of subscribers in a building are connected to a central server through at least in part twisted pair cables within the building. Compensation for the channel distortion caused by the use of twisted pair cables is provided by the use of pre-emphasis filters in the outgoing data lines from the server. The required coefficients for the pre-emphasis filters are established by first characterizing the distortion properties of a channel by the use of a test signal.

    摘要: The invention relates to trimming of analogue filters (201) in integrated circuits by means of an automatic adjusting circuit. A local oscillator (202) in the automatic adjusting circuit provides a periodic reference signal (R) to an adjustable phase shifter (203), which on basis thereof, produces a periodic phase shifted signal (R*). A phase detector (204) receives both the periodic reference signal (R) and the phase shifted period signal (R*) and produces a test signal (T) in response to a phase difference between the periodic reference signal (R) and the periodic phase shifted signal (R8). A lowpass filter (205) receives the test signal (T) and generates a level signal (TDC) relative a reference level, e.g. representing a zero voltage. A digital signal processor (207) produces a primary control signal (CS), having a serial format, on basis of the observation signal (M). A serial-to-parallel converter (208) converts the primary control signal (CS) into a control signal (CP) having a parallel signal format. The control signal (CP) influences a magnitude of at least one component value in the adjustable phase shift between the periodic reference signal (R) and the periodic phase shifted signal (R*) attains a calibrated value being as close as possible to a desired value. A latch (210) forwards at least one signal element of the control signal (CP) for setting of at least one component value in the analogue filter (201) in accordance with a setting of at least one component value in the adjustable phase shifter (203) which produces the calibrated value.

    摘要: An antenna circuit is described which makes it possible to suppress intermodulation products. This antenna circuit includes an antenna connection device to which at least one first antenna can be connected, and the antenna connection device can be connected to an output of the antenna circuit over at least two signal paths. An antenna signal can be transmitted over each signal path. Transmission of a second antenna signal over a second signal path is attenuated by a predetermined attenuation value in comparison with a transmission of a first antenna signal over a first signal path. An analyzer unit is provided to determine the level of a weighting signal which is derived from an antenna signal transmitted to the output of the antenna circuit. An operating device is provided to connect only the first signal path to the output of the antenna circuit when the detected level is below a first predetermined level. The operating device connects only the second signal path to the output of the antenna circuit when the detected level is above the first predetermined level.
