Integrated frequency selectable resonant coupling network and method thereof

摘要

An integrated center frequency selectable resonant coupling network suited for use in an integrated circuit is disclosed. The network includes an integrated coupling transformer having a secondary winding for coupling to a load and a primary winding for coupling to a source; a first integrated capacitive circuit controllably coupled across one of the primary and secondary windings and when so coupled operable to resonate with the integrated coupling transformer at a frequency in a first frequency band; and a second integrated capacitive circuit coupled across a second one of the primary and the secondary windings that is operable to resonate with the integrated coupling transformer at a frequency in a second frequency band. The method is in an IC and includes providing and coupling an input signal within alternatively a first frequency band and a second frequency band to a primary winding of an integrated coupling transformer; controlling an integrated switched capacitor network, coupled to the transformer, to provide a coupling network that is alternatively and respectively resonant at a first and second frequency within the first and second frequency band thus selectively providing an output signal at a secondary winding of the transformer; and down converting the output signal.
