Abstract
A transceiver, receiver, and transmitter are provided. The transceiver may also include a programmable matching block configured to implement impedance-matching between an antenna and the receiver and/or between the antenna and the transmitter. The programmable matching block may implement the impedance-matching through a shared matching circuit block. The programmable matching block may include at least one of a programmable inductor and a programmable capacitor.
Claims4
A transceiver comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a programmable matching block compensating for antenna impedance variation due to environment change and implementing impedance-matching between an antenna and the receiver input and between the antenna and the transmitter output through a shared matching circuit block.
