Abstract
A transceiver circuit includes an input to receive an RF mode control signal, multiple ports, and path circuitry disposed between the multiple ports. The path circuitry can be configured to create different low impedance conductive paths between the multiple ports depending on a state of the RF mode control signal. For example, depending on a mode as specified by the RF mode control signal, the transceiver circuit and corresponding path circuitry enables a half-duplex mode and a full-duplex mode.
