System and method for filtering signals in a transceiver

A system for operating a transceiver having a filter selectively coupled to transmitter and receiver paths, comprising:

• a controller which generates:
• a first signal for connecting the filter to the transmitter path or receiver path;
• a second signal for setting at least one parameter of the filter based on whether the filter is connected to the transmitter path or the receiver path,
• a third signal for setting a gain of an amplifier coupled to the filter based on whether the filter is connected to the transmitter path or the receiver path;
• and
• a fourth signal for setting at least one parameter of another filter coupled to the amplifier and filter based on whether the filter is connected to the transmitter path or the receiver path.

A method for controlling signal filtering in a transceiver, comprising:

• generating a first signal for selectively connecting a filter to a transmitter path and a receiver path;
• generating a second signal for setting at least one parameter of the filter based on whether the filter is connected to the transmitter path or the receiver path;
• generating a third signal for setting a gain of an amplifier coupled to the filter based on whether the filter is connected to the transmitter path or the receiver path;
• and
• generating a fourth signal for setting at least one parameter of another filter coupled to the amplifier and filter based on whether the filter is connected to the transmitter path or the receiver path.
