Abstract
The present disclosure includes switching resonant filter circuits and methods. In one embodiment, a circuit includes a plurality of resonant switching circuits arranged in a three (3) or four (4) element PI network. In one embodiment, an undesired signal frequency is applied to two resonant switching circuits and a carrier frequency of an RF signal is applied to the other two resonant switching networks so that the network attenuates the undesired signal frequency and passes the carrier frequency. In another embodiment, the resonant switching circuits are configurable to shift a peak impedance so that undesired signals may be attenuated.
