Abstract
A transceiver of a dual-band radio is provided that selectively transmits and receives on either of a first frequency and a second frequency wherein the transceiver includes an integrated circuit having a power amplifier configured to amplify signals for transmission on a first frequency, and a low-noise amplifier configured to amplify signals received on the second frequency. The transceiver may further include a second integrated circuit having a power amplifier configured to amplify signals for transmission on a second frequency, and a low-noise amplifier configured to amplify signals received on the first frequency.
Claims14
A front end for a dual-band radio transceiver comprising:
- a first integrated circuit having a first power amplifier configured to amplify signals for transmission in a first frequency band and a first low-noise amplifier configured to amplify signals received in a second frequency band;
- and
- a second integrated circuit having a second power amplifier configured to amplify signals for transmission in said second frequency band and a second low-noise amplifier configured to amplify signals received in said first frequency band.
