Abstract
A wireless transceiver includes a semiconductor device configured to perform a transmission process and a reception process using a radio wave, the semiconductor device including a transmission unit and a reception unit. The wireless transceiver further includes an antenna configured to transmit an output signal from the transmission unit and provide a received input signal to the reception unit, and a baseband circuit configured to receive an output signal from the reception unit and output the output signal to the transmission unit.
Claims4
A wireless transceiver comprising:
- a semiconductor device configured to perform a transmission process and a reception process using a radio wave, the semiconductor device including:
- a transmission unit which is configured to perform the transmission process, and includes a modulator, the modulator including a first inductor of a spiral shape;
- and
- a reception unit which is configured to perform the reception process, and includes a local oscillator, the local oscillator including a second inductor of a horseshoe-shape, and the second inductor having an opening and being disposed so that the opening is located opposite to the first inductor;
- an antenna configured to transmit an output signal from the transmission unit and provide a received input signal to the reception unit;
- and
- a baseband circuit configured to receive an output signal from the reception unit and output the output signal to the transmission unit.
