Abstract
A head of transmission-reception of a high-frequency signal made in the form of an integrated circuit including a transmit amplifier and a receive amplifier. The transmit terminal of the transmit amplifier and the receive terminal of the receive amplifier are interconnected in a common transmit/receive terminal. The head includes means for selecting one of the amplifiers and means for placing the other amplifier in a high impedance state, as seen from the transmit/receive terminal.
Claims21
A head of transmission-reception of a high-frequency signal made in the form of an integrated circuit comprising:
- a transmit amplifier and a receive amplifier, wherein a transmit terminal of the transmit amplifier and a receive terminal of the receive amplifier are interconnected in said circuit in a transmit/receive terminal;
- means for selecting one of the amplifiers;
- and
- means for placing the other amplifier in a high impedance state, seen from the transmit/receive terminal.
A transmit/receive device integrated onto a single chip, comprising:
- a transmit/receive terminal;
- a transmit amplifier having an output connected to the terminal;
- a receive amplifier having an input connected to the terminal;
- a first circuit, configured to enable and disable the transmit amplifier;
- and
- a second circuit, configured to enable and disable the receive amplifier.
A method, comprising:
- enabling a transmit amplifier module of a circuit integrated onto a single chip;
- disabling a receive amplifier module of the circuit;
- transmitting a signal via a terminal of the circuit while the transmit module is enabled and the receive module is disabled;
- disabling the transmit amplifier module of the circuit;
- enabling the receive amplifier module of the circuit;
- and
- receiving a signal via the terminal of the circuit while the receive module is enabled and the transmit module is disabled;
