ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,368,417, issued on July 22, was assigned to pSemi Corp. (San Diego).
"Programmable optimized band switching LNA" was invented by Emre Ayranci (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Miles Sanner (San Diego).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A front end module (FEM) integrated circuit (IC) architecture that uses the same LNA in each of several frequency bands extending over a wide frequency range. In some embodiments, switched impedance circuits distributed throughout the front end circuit allow selection of the frequency response and impedances that are optimized for particular performance parameters targeted for a desired device characteristic. Such switc...
