摘要： A wireless transceiver circuit with an impedance matching network within an integrated circuit is disclosed. In some embodiments, the impedance matching network utilizes an inductor, having two portions, disposed on two different metal layers of the integrated circuit. The first end of the first portion of the inductor is in communication with an antenna. The second end of the second portion is in communication with a low noise amplifier for receiving signals and a power amplifier for transmitting RF signals. The second end of the first portion is connected to the first end of the second portion using a via. In another embodiment, the two portions are disposed on the same metal layer, wherein one portion is disposed within the other with a gap separating the two portions. These configurations require less space than using two separate inductors and also have a low coupling coefficient.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for on-chip harmonic filtering for radio frequency (RF) communications. For disclosed embodiments, a filter circuit is coupled between a first internal node and a connection pad for an integrated circuit. The filter circuit includes a first inductance, a variable capacitance, and a second inductance. The capacitance amount for the variable capacitance is controlled to tune filtering for the filter circuit to a harmonic of a frequency for a transmit output signal. A power amplifier outputs the transmit output signal to the connection pad without passing through the filter circuit. The filter circuit filters the harmonic of the frequency for the transmit output signal, shunting harmonic current to ground. For one embodiment, the filtered harmonic is a third harmonic of the transmit frequency. For one embodiment, the transmit output signal has an output power greater than or equal to 15 dBm.
