Isolating radio frequency components of a wireless device

Abstract

Radio frequency components may be optically isolated from lower frequency components of a transceiver to improve the sensitivity and transmission efficiency in some embodiments. In one embodiment, an optical waveguide may be utilized to isolate the low noise amplifier from other components downstream in the received path. Similarly, an optical waveguide may be utilized to isolate lower frequency components from a downstream radio frequency power amplifier.
