Abstract:
A radio communications device includes a headphone assembly, which includes at least one aural speaker or transducer and a headphone cable functioning as an antenna and providing electrical signals carrying audio information to the at least one aural speaker or transducer. A signal separator coupled to the headphone cable separates the electrical signals carrying audio information transmitted to the headphone cable and radio frequency (RF) signals received from the headphone cable. A radio receiver receives the RF signals from the signal separator and converts the RF signals to electrical signals carrying audio information. A tuner is provided for tuning the headphone cable to a selected operating frequency of the radio receiver. An audio amplifier amplifies electrical signals carrying audio information from the radio receiver to be transmitted through the headphone cable to the at least one aural speaker or transducer.

The present invention relates to a tunable circuit, or admittance, arrangement comprising at least one capacitive branch with at least a tunable first capacitor (C1), and tuning application means. It further comprises at least one resonant branch comprising at least a second capacitor (C2) and an inductor (L), said second capacitor (C2) and said inductor (L) being connected in series. Said at least one capacitive branch and said at least one resonant branch are connected in parallel, and said tuning application means are adapted for application of a DC tuning voltage (VDC) . The capacitance of said first and/or second capacitor (C1;C2) and/or the inductance of said inductor (L) are selected such that the frequency dependency of the tunability of a varactor arrangement forming the equivalent varactor arrangement of the admittance arrangement can be controlled at least in a selected frequency range.

The invention relates to a resonator (200, 300) with variable resonance frequency, intended for connection to an amplifier, thus forming an oscillator, said resonator comprising a resonator circuit (205, 305) for deciding the resonance frequency of the resonator and the oscillator, said resonator circuit comprising an inductance (L), a variable capacitance (Cj), and means (Vtune) for varying the capacitance. The resonator also comprises connection means (C1, Ck; C1, Ck, C2) for connecting the resonator to an amplifier. The resonator is provided with means (Vtune) for varying the capacitance of the connection means in proportion to the variation of the capacitance (Cj) of the resonator circuit. Preferably, the means (Vtune) for varying the capacitance (Ck) of the connection means are arranged such that an essentially constant relationship (Ck/Cj) is maintained between the capacitance (Ck) of the connection means and the first capacitance (Cj) of the resonator across all resonance frequencies.

Abstract:
A tuning method and circuit for an LC tank resonant circuit, including an inductor and a variable capacitor, are described. In a tuning mode, an RF input signal is applied to an input port of the circuit, and the RF output signal is monitored as a variable capacitor control input is varied. A peak output is detected, and the corresponding variable capacitor control input is stored, and applied to the variable capacitor in an operating mode. In one embodiment, the variable capacitor control input is adjusted for delay in the peak detection process. In one embodiment, the variable capacitor comprises a coarse capacitor and a fine capacitor; the tuning procedure is repeated for each capacitor; and both coarse and fine variable capacitor control inputs are stored and applied to the respective capacitors in operating mode.
Abstract:
A geometrically modifiable resonator is comprised of a resonator disposed on a substrate, and a means for geometrically modifying the resonator. The geometrically modifiable resonator can achieve active optical and/or electronic control of the frequency response in metamaterials and/or frequency selective surfaces, potentially with sub-picosecond response times. Additionally, the methods taught here can be applied to discrete geometrically modifiable circuit components such as inductors and capacitors. Principally, controlled conductivity regions, using either reversible photodoping or voltage induced depletion activation, are used to modify the geometries of circuit components, thus allowing frequency tuning of resonators without otherwise affecting the bulk substrate electrical properties. The concept is valid over any frequency range in which metamaterials are designed to operate.
