ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 19 -- United States Patent no. 12,231,107, issued on Feb. 18, was assigned to Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (Nagaokakyo, Japan).
"Matching circuits for phase change material switches" was invented by Jean-Luc Erb (San, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Circuits and methods that provide wider bandwidth and smaller IM inductances for phase change material (PCM) based RF switch networks. The present invention recognizes that it is beneficial to consider the total high parasitic capacitance to ground of the various PCM switches in an RF switch network as constituting two or more separate capacitive contributions. This leads to several "split capacitance" concepts, includ...
