Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer device and method based on the modulation of power supply ripple of magnetron
A SWIPT (simultaneous wireless information and power transfer) device based on the modulation of power supply ripple of magnetron includes a magnetron power supply, a magnetron, an IF (intermediate frequency) signal generator and a first capacitor. The first and second cathode power lines are provided between two ends of the magnetron power supply and two ends of the cathode of the magnetron respectively. One end of the first capacitor is connected with the IF signal generator, and another end of the first capacitor is connected with the first cathode power line. A SWIPT method includes applying an IF signal which is equivalent to the ripple of anode voltage of the magnetron to the anode voltage of the magnetron; taking a resonance signal excited by the magnetron as a local oscillation signal; generating a new signal at an output end of the magnetron, and radiating the new signal through an antenna.

MEMS amplitude modulator and MEMS magnetic field sensor including same
The present invention provides an amplitude modulator, which is disposed in an area through which a magnetic field flows so as to modulate amplitudes, comprising: a substrate; a first driving electrode which receives a first frequency signal and a second frequency signal supplied from the substrate and carries out resonant motion by the magnetic field; and a second driving electrode for receiving the second frequency signal and carries out resonant motion by the first driving electrode and the magnetic field, wherein a modulated signal is generated by modulating the amplitudes of the first and second frequency signals through the resonant motions of the first and second driving electrodes. Therefore, since the signal generated by modulating a carrier signal through mechanical resonance according to the magnetic field is outputted, amplitude modulation can be carried out without a complicated circuit configuration. In addition, since an MEMS device is a single structure that does not include an insulating layer, a single signal is applied to one structure, thereby simplifying driving, and all the driving electrodes of both ends thereof are driven so as to double a change in variable capacitance, thereby improving sensing ability.

A transmitter circuit includes a phase locked loop circuit, having one or more operational characteristics indicative of an operating state of the phase locked loop circuit. The phase locked loop circuit is configured to generate a frequency signal. The transmitter circuit also includes a power amplifier configured to selectively drive an antenna with a drive signal according to the frequency signal, and a programmable delay circuit configured to controllably extend a propagation delay between the frequency signal and the drive signal of the power amplifier. The programmable delay circuit is programmed such that a first value of a particular operational characteristic of the phase locked loop circuit is substantially equal to a second value of the operational characteristic of the phase locked loop circuit. The first value is measured with the power amplifier not driving the antenna. The second value is measured with the power amplifier driving the antenna.
Valley detection for supply voltage modulation in power amplifier circuits
Techniques are described for using valley detection for supply voltage modulation in power amplifier circuits. Embodiments operate in context of a power amplifier circuit configured to be driven by a supply voltage generated by a supply modulator and to receive an amplitude-modulated (AM) signal at its input. The output of the power amplifier circuit can be fed to a valley detector that can detect a valley level corresponding to the bottom of the envelope of the AM signal. The detected valley level can be fed back to the supply modulator and compared to a constant reference. In response to the comparison, the supply modulator can vary the supply voltage to the power amplifier circuit in a manner that effectively tracking the envelope of the power amplifier circuit's output signal, thereby effectively seeking a flat valley for the output signal's envelope.
