Abstract
A radio frequency apparatus comprising an interface configured to receive a command from a radio protocol stack. A command generator configured to generate a plurality of commands from said received command is provided. The apparatus also has configurable hardware, said hardware having a configuration which is controlled in dependence on said generated commands and being arranged to at least one of transmit and receive a radio frequency signal.
