A high-frequency switching circuit includes a high-frequency switching transistor, wherein a high-frequency signal-path extends via a channel-path of the high-frequency switching transistor. The high-frequency switching circuit includes a control circuit and the control circuit is configured to apply at least two different bias potentials to a substrate of the high-frequency switching transistor, depending on a control signal received by the control circuit.

A high frequency switching circuit, including a high frequency switching element. The high frequency switching element including a first channel terminal and a second channel terminal, wherein the high frequency switching element is configured to switchably route a high frequency signal via a channel path between the first channel terminal and the second channel terminal. The high frequency switching circuit further includes a power detection circuit, wherein the power detection circuit is configured to obtain a first measurement signal from the first channel terminal and a second measurement signal from the second channel terminal, and to combine the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal to derive, in dependence on both the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal, a power signal describing a power value of the high frequency signal routed via the channel path of the high frequency switching element.

A level converter for providing an output signal at a circuit output based on an input signal includes an output coupling circuit formed to provide an output signal based on a first partial output signal and a second partial output signal, a driver circuit formed to provide the second partial output signal such that the second partial output signal is switchable between two different signal levels depending on the state of the input signal, wherein an input of the driver circuit is capacitively coupled to the input of the level converter in order to allow for switching between the signal levels of the second partial output signal by the capacitive coupling in response to a change in the state of the input signal, and a holding circuit formed to keep the state of the second partial output signal constant in case of a constant state of the input signal.

Level converter

An electrical filter has at least four terminals, two inductances and two capacitors. The first inductance is connected between the first terminal and the second terminal, and a second inductance is connected between the third terminal and the fourth terminal. The first capacitance is connected between the first terminal and a reference potential, and the second capacitance is connected between the third terminal and the reference potential. The first inductance and the second inductance form a transformer having a coupling coefficient of a magnitude such that the filter acts as a low-pass filter for differential signals and common mode signals, a cutoff frequency for differential signals being higher than a cutoff frequency for common mode signals.
