Periodic passive-mixer switching sharpens RF selectivity while harvesting blocker energy to cut receiver power use and saturation.
Analog N-path filters split acoustic signals into subbands so always-on sound classification can run locally with lower power and latency.
Phase-shifted N-path reception improves tuning and blocker rejection while harvesting interferer energy to cut receiver power use.
A translational filter with quadrature passive mixers and frequency-dependent loads suppresses image bands across wide RF ranges.
A passive gain front end and N-path filter improve receiver sensitivity and isolation while removing the LNA to cut power and chip area.
Parallel downconversion filter branches create passband notches that suppress in-band blockers while preserving out-of-band attenuation.
Switching between fixed-gain paths and an N-way filter avoids feedback parasitics, preserving gain and noise performance under interference.
Parallel DIDS filter branches use phased low-frequency clocks to improve out-of-band rejection and suppress harmonics with less complexity.
Parallel RF filter branches place controllable passband notches to remove in-band blockers while preserving wideband signal quality.
Common-drain amplifier branches with feedback and degeneration widen N-path filter passbands while reducing droop and sharpening rejection.
Parallel downconversion filter paths create in-band notches and out-of-band rejection for wide RF bands without multiple discrete filters.
Parallel phase-shifted downconversion branches improve RF out-of-band rejection while avoiding the high clock rates that increase filter complexity and cost.
An N-path auxiliary filter removes jammer energy between non-contiguous carriers, improving receiver linearity and noise figure.
Out-band signal bypass filtering diverts interfering frequencies before baseband processing, improving wireless receiver linearity and reducing distortion.
Using common-drain amplifier branches, this case widens N-path filter passbands, reduces droop, and improves TX leakage rejection.
A mixer and frequency-dependent filter create pass-bands around the local oscillator to receive non-contiguous carriers with lower RF front-end complexity.
