Abstract
A circuit and method for transmitting an output signal utilizes an inductive device connected in series with a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) varactor to increase the potential difference across the MEMS varactor due to the output signal by introducing inductance-capacitance resonant behavior. The MEMS varactor is configured to be actuated exclusively by the output signal to effectuate a change in capacitance of the MEMS varactor. The MEMS varactor is used to provide a variable impedance transformation.
