The submodule is mounted (suitably in the X-Y plane) on the surface of a heat sink, suitably coupled to a cold backplane, to remove heat. R 1:N low loss power dividers route the amplified RF signals to R*N radiating elements. Each of the 1:N power dividers suitably reside in the X-Z plane and are stacked in the Y direction to provide a planar output of the R*N radiating elements in the Y-Z plane. Placement of the amplifier chips on the single submodule decouples the number of amplifier chips, hence output power, from the number of radiating elements. Placement of the amplifier chips away from the radiating face provides a short path with large thermal cross-section through the heat sink to the backplane to remove heat. The topology can produce high output power combined with a high antenna gain to produce large power-aperture products previously only achievable with a Gyrotron. As amplifier chips become more powerful, the topology can be adapted to use fewer chips. | 08-19-2010 |

The integrated processing circuit includes a processing unit capable of processing a wireless communication signal and a radio frequency (RF) unit capable of performing a conversion between a radio frequency (RF) signal and a baseband signal, wherein the wireless communication signal is one of the RF signal and the baseband signal. The first memory is coupled to the integrated processing circuit. The first memory is capable of storing data used by the processing unit. The testing circuit is coupled to the first memory, and is capable of testing the first memory for determining if the first memory is an effective memory. The RF unit and the first memory are placed in a single module. | 05-12-2016 |
20160191104 | INTRINSICALLY SAFE AUDIO POWER CURRENT CIRCUIT AND DEVICE USING SAME - An intrinsically safe audio power circuit includes redundant electronic fuses disposed between the power input of an audio power amplifier and the battery source of the portable two-way radio device. The electronic fuse circuits are connected in series with each other, and each electronic fuse circuit includes a series switch transistor that can shut off the flow of current between the battery and the audio power amplifier. Each electronic fuse circuit also includes a current sense portion, and when the current through the electronic fuse circuits reaches a current threshold, it will shut off its series switch transistor using an active bias circuit in order to ensure sufficiently rapid shut off. | 06-30-2016 |
