| 20120034894 | AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL SYSTEM WITH DUAL-RSSI INTERFERENCE DETECTION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF SENSITIVITY AND ADJACENT CHANNEL REJECTION PERFORMANCE OF RF RECEIVERS - A tuner includes a low noise amplifier (LNA), a first received signal strength indicator (RSSI), a mixer, an intermediate frequency (IF) filter, a second RSSI and an adjustment unit. The LNA amplifies a radio frequency (RF) signal. The first RSSI detects received signal strength indication of the RF signal and obtains a first signal strength voltage. The mixer is coupled to the LNA and down-converts the RF signal into a first IF signal according to a local oscillation frequency. The IF filter is coupled to the mixer and filters the first IF signal to obtain a second IF signal. The second RSSI detects received signal strength indication of the second IF signal and obtains a second signal strength voltage. The adjustment unit adjusts a gain of the LNA according to the first signal strength voltage and the second signal strength voltage. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20100022211 | Low noise, highly linear amplifying stage and signal receiver using the same - The invention provides a signal amplifying stage, used in a signal receiver. The signal amplifying stage has: a fixed-gain low noise amplifier (LNA), amplifying an input signal; a variable-gain LNA (VG-LNA) array, amplifying the input signal, including a plurality of parallel VG-LNAs, the VG-LNA array being parallel with the fixed-gain LNA; a variable-gain amplifier (VGA), being in series with the fixed-gain LNA and the VG-LNA array, for amplifying output signals from the fixed-gain LNA and the VG-LNA array to generate an output signal; an attenuator, being in parallel with a combination of the fixed-gain LNA, the VG-LNA array and the VGA, for attenuating the input signal to generate the output signal; and a control loop, coupled to the VGA and the attenuator, for detecting power levels of the output signal to enable and control the fixed-gain LNA, the VG-LNA array, the VGA and the attenuator. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20090243052 | Electronic device with shielding structure and method of manufacturing the same - An electronic device includes a substrate, an active circuit, and a shielding structure. The active circuit is formed on the substrate. The shielding structure is disposed surrounding the active circuit, and includes a first heavy ion-doped region, first metal stack, second heavy ion-doped region, second metal stack and top metal. The first heavy ion-doped is formed in the substrate and located at a first side of the active circuit. The first metal stack is formed on the first heavy ion-doped region of the substrate, wherein the first metal stack is connected to a ground voltage. The second heavy ion-doped region is formed in the substrate and located at a second side of the active circuit. The second metal stack is formed on the second heavy ion-doped region of the substrate. The top metal is formed on the first metal stack and second metal stack and passing over the active circuit. | 10-01-2009 |
