Abstract

The present disclosure describes aspects of a switchable inductor network for wideband circuits. In some aspects, the switchable inductor network provides selectable inductance. The switchable inductor network includes a first coil and a second coil that includes a first inductive segment and a second inductive segment. Connection points of the second coil connect the second coil across a portion of the first coil. The switchable inductor network also includes a switch connected between the first inductive segment and the second inductive segment of the second coil. The switch is configured to change the selectable inductance of the switchable inductor network by selectively coupling the first inductive segment to the second inductive segment of the second coil in response to a control signal.
