Versatile system for transceiver noise reduction in a time-division duplexing wireless network

A method of suppressing transmission channel noise in a signal transmission/reception device, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a shunt construct instantiated at a first point along a signal transmission channel;
• providing an attenuation construct instantiated at a second point along the signal transmission channel;
• providing a disabling construct instantiated at a third point along the signal transmission channel;
• providing a trigger signal indicating a shift to signal reception;
• and
• activating the shunt, attenuation and disabling constructs responsive to assertion of the trigger signal.

A method of improving signal reception in a wireless communications system having a time division duplex transceiver device operating therein, the method comprising the steps of:

• instantiating a plurality of attenuation elements along a signal transmission path of the time division duplex transceiver device;
• maintaining the plurality of attenuation elements in a passive state during signal transmissions;
• providing a trigger signal indicative of a shift by the time division duplex transceiver device from signal transmission to signal reception;
• and
• activating the attenuation elements responsive to assertion of the trigger signal.
