Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a surface grating in a photodetector device. In an example, a semiconductor device structure includes a photodetector device. The photodetector device includes one or more photodiodes disposed in or over a semiconductor substrate, and includes a surface grating disposed at a respective surface of each photodiode of the one or more photodiodes. The surface grating has one or more periodicities. Each periodicity of the one or more periodicities has a period that is along a direction parallel to a first lateral direction across the semiconductor substrate and that is equal to or less than half of a dimension of at least one photodiode of the one or more photodiodes along a direction parallel to the first lateral direction. The one or more periodicities includes multiple different pitches.

Abstract: A first branch group circuit includes a first branch circuit receiving a first RF input signal and first control information; and a second branch circuit receiving the first input signal and second control information. Each of the first and second branch circuits includes a power amplifier. The second control information enables the second branch circuit to be switched on or off while the first branch circuit remains on. A second branch group circuit includes: a third branch circuit receiving a second RF input signal and third control information; and a fourth branch circuit receiving the second input signal and fourth control information. Each of the third and fourth branch circuits includes a power amplifier. The fourth control information enables the fourth branch circuit to be switched on or off while the third branch circuit remains on. A combiner combines output signals of the power amplifiers to produce an output signal.

Abstract: An outphasing amplifier includes a first class-E power amplifier having an output coupled to a first conductor and an input receiving a first RF drive signal. A first reactive element is coupled between the first conductor and a second conductor. A second reactive element is coupled between the second conductor and a third conductor. A second class-E power amplifier includes an output coupled to a fourth conductor and an input coupled to a second RF drive signal, a third reactive element coupled between the second and fourth conductors. Outputs of the first and second power amplifiers are combined by the first, second and third reactive elements to produce an output current in a load. An efficiency enhancement circuit is coupled between the first and fourth conductors to improve power efficiency at back-off power levels. Power enhancement circuits are coupled to the first and fourth conductors, respectively.

Abstract: For generating quantized signals, a quantized phase domain related to quantized phases of an input signal is generated. Vectors that the input signal may occupy are calculated based on the quantized phase domain. A first quantized phase of a first component of the input signal is generated per the quantized phase domain, and a second quantized phase of a second component of the input signal is generated per the quantized phase domain.

Abstract: At least one tone is generated. An output signal is generated in response to an input signal and the at least one tone. The output signal is modulated. The input signal and the at least one tone are represented in the modulated output signal. The at least one tone is outside a bandwidth of the input signal as represented in the modulated output signal. The modulated output signal is amplified. The at least one tone in the amplified signal is attenuated after the amplifying.
