Abstract
A non-reciprocal filter with parametric amplification to obtain non-reciprocal propagation of forward and reverse signals is disclosed. The non-reciprocal filter may include two asymmetrical transmission lines and a current source. The filter, when implemented in the acoustics domain using surface acoustic waves (SAW), may operate in a phase-coherent or a phase-incoherent degenerate mode, providing low insertion loss and high decibels of isolation.
Claims18
A filter comprising:
- a first port and a second port, wherein an input signal propagates from the first port to the second port;
- a third port different from the first and second ports;
- a first transmission line connected to the first port and the third port;
- a second transmission line connected to the second port and the third port;
- and
- a current source connected to the third port, wherein the current source provides a modulation signal to the third port.
