The present invention relates to an integrated transceiver structure 1; 20, comprising at least one antenna terminal 2a-2d, a mixer 4 adapted to down-convert signals received via said at least one antenna terminal 2a-2d and to up-convert signals to be transmitted via said antenna terminal 2a-2d, a receiving path 5 adapted to guide signals received via said at least one antenna terminal 2a-2d to said mixer 4, a transmitting path 16 adapted to guide signals to be transmitted from said mixer 4 to said at least one antenna terminal 2a-2d, a first switch 7 adapted to selectively connect said at least one antenna terminal 2a-2d to said receiving path 5 or said transmitting path 16, and a second switch 8 adapted to selectively connect said receiving path 5 or said transmitting path 6 to said mixer 4. The transceiver structure 1; 20 of the invention is advantageously implemented on a single chip and is preferably suitable for millimeter wave wireless applications.
