Abstract

See full text

A signal handler providing high linearity in a small size, applicable across wide operating frequencies and bandwidths, while also adapted to preferred integrated circuit (IC) and printed circuit board technologies. In one implementation, a signal handling apparatus includes an input impedance transformer for receiving an input signal and matching an internal apparatus impedance, a splitter for providing N split signals, a number of signal processing circuits for processing the N split signals, a combiner for combining the N split signals into a combined signal, and output impedance transformer for receiving the combined signal and for matching the internal apparatus impedance to an output impedance of the apparatus. The apparatus may provide filtering, duplexing and other radio frequency signal processing functions. A tunable duplexer may be implemented using a vector inductor and tunable capacitor array with frequency dependent impedance transformers.
