TL;DR: In this article, a combination of inductors and capacitors is selected through the semiconductor switches so as to maximize a Q factor for the LC filter, where inductors are selectively enabled to configure an LC filter with at least one inductor from each inductive bank and at least two capacitors from each capacitive bank.
Abstract: An inductive (“L”)-capacitive (“C”) filter bank has application for use in a television receiver. The LC filter includes inductors configured in at least one inductive (“L”) bank, and capacitors configured in at least one capacitive (“C”) bank. The inductors and capacitors are selectively enabled so as to configure an LC filter with at least one inductor from the L bank and at least one capacitor from the C bank. A combination of inductors and capacitors are selected through the semiconductor switches so as to maximize a Q factor for the LC filter.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus to control non-adjacent cross-coupling in a microstrip filter is presented, where the closed loop increases the transmission zero levels.
Abstract: The present invention provides for a method and apparatus to control non-adjacent cross-coupling in a micro-strip filter. In instances of weak cross-coupling, such as a filter circuit on a high dielectric constant substrate material (e.g., LaAIO3 with dielectric constant of 24), a closed loop is used to inductively enhance the cross-coupling. The closed loop increases the transmission zero levels. For strong cross-coupling cases, such as a filter circuit on a lower dielectric constant substrate material (e.g., MgO with dielectric constant of 9.6), a capacitive cross-coupling cancellation mechanism is introduced to reduce the cross-coupling. In the latter instance, the transmission zero levels are moved down.

TL;DR: An ultra-low-voltage RF receiver for applications in the 2.4 GHz band, designed in a 90 nm CMOS technology, which has a programmable overall gain of 30 dB, noise figure of 18 dB, out-of-channel IIP3 of -22 dBm.
Abstract: We report an ultra-low-voltage RF receiver for applications in the 2.4 GHz band, designed in a 90 nm CMOS technology. The sliding-IF receiver prototype includes an LNA, an image-reject LC filter with single-ended to differential conversion, an RF mixer, an LC IF filter, a quadrature IF mixer, RF and IF LO buffers, and an I/Q baseband section with a VGA and a low-pass channel-select filter in each path, all integrated on-chip. It has a programmable overall gain of 30 dB, noise figure of 18 dB, out-of-channel IIP3 of -22 dBm. The 3.4 mm2 chip consumes 8.5 mW from a 0.5 V supply.

TL;DR: In this article, a tunable, substrate integrated, high Q bandpass-bandstop filter cascade is demonstrated that is capable of providing up to 100 dB of isolation between two dynamically selectable frequencies of interest.
Abstract: A tunable, substrate integrated, high Q bandpass-bandstop filter cascade is demonstrated that is capable of providing up to 100 dB of isolation between two dynamically selectable frequencies of interest. Evanescent-mode cavity filters are used in the cascade to allow high quality factors and wide tuning ranges. It is shown that it is theoretically possible to tune the cascade circuit's passband and transmission nulls independently over more than an octave in frequency while displaying good performance. General coupling matrix theory, ABCD matrix theory, and measurements are shown that describe the behavior of the filter cascade over the entire frequency tuning range. The high, dynamic isolation provided by cascade circuits has potential to be useful in concurrent transmit-receive systems, shared aperture systems, and spectral environments with strong co-site interference.

TL;DR: A novel multiconverter conditioner topology and its control stage are proposed, formed by an active conditioner in parallel with a hybrid conditioner composed of an active filter in series with one or more passive filters, constituting an effective solution at high-power levels.
Abstract: A novel multiconverter conditioner topology and its control stage are proposed in this paper. It is formed by an active conditioner in parallel with a hybrid conditioner composed of an active filter in series with one or more passive filters. This topology allows the reduction of the inverter ratings, constituting an effective solution at high-power levels. Collaborative control strategies are developed for the new topology, which share the compensation objectives between the two converters. These control strategies and the tracking techniques are based on estimating the load current, achieving new algorithms with a reduction in the number of meters in the control stage. The conditioner operates properly in three-phase four-wire systems reducing the harmonic distortion and/or imbalance and attaining the unity displacement power factor. Experimental results are included for the testing of the topology and its control.
