Abstract
A filtering apparatus and method for dual-band sensing circuit are disclosed. The invention features a dual-band sensing unit disposed in a filtering device that receives the signals from a sub-system with variable frequency spectrum. The signals are split up into several bands. After that, one or more frequency detecting units are used to detect the power of high-band and low-band signals, and convert the power into a voltage signal. Users can externally adjust the gain of a tunable gain amplifier for the voltage signal. Further, a comparison operation is processed by a comparator, and a signal resulted from the comparison operation is used to control the switch timing for an RF switching unit. Consequently, this like adaptive notch filter is achieved to determine the intensity of noise and thereby to turn on the high-band or low-band notch filters, so as to reduce the in-band loss.
