Abstract:
An apparatus and method for transmitting signal, the apparatus comprising a front end telecommunications module (100) including a power amplifier (106, 108), a matching circuit (110, 112) coupled to the power amplifier (106, 108), and a filter (114, 118) coupled to the matching circuit (110, 112), such that a signal received by the power amplifier (106, 108) is transmitted to the filter through the matching circuit (110, 112). The telecommunications module (100) provides quad-band capability in a compact design.
Abstract:
The method includes forming an n-type channel portion (28) in a substrate (20) and forming a p-type channel portion (34) in the substrate (20). A boundary (75) of the n-type channel portion (28) and a boundary (73) of the p-type channel portion (34) define an intrinsic region (72) in the substrate (20).
Abstract:
A dual field plate MESFET (90) and method of forming a MESFET. The MESFET (90) includes a gate electrode (100) and a drain electrode (96), with the gate electrode (100) and drain electrode (96) formed on a substrate (105). The MESFET further includes a gate side field plate (110) at the gate electrode (100) and a drain side field plate (112) in proximity to the drain electrode (96) and extending over a burnout improvement region in the substrate (105).

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for amplifying a radiofrequency (RF) signal. The apparatus comprises a control circuit including a first transistor (108), a second transistor (118), and a ballast resistor (116) coupled between an emitter terminal of the first transistor (108) and a base terminal of the second transistor (118), such that a control voltage applied to a base terminal of the first transistor (108) controls the amplification of a signal applied to the base terminal of the second transistor (118). Additional elements may be coupled to the control circuit to improve the performance thereof, including a feedback stabilization circuit (106), a diode stack circuit (104), a bypass capacitor (110) and an additional resistor (112).
