Abstract

A transceiver includes a receive path including a low noise amplifier and a first switch coupled between the low noise amplifier and ground, a first transmit path including a low power amplifier and a second switch coupled between the low power amplifier and a main signal path, and a second transmit path including a high power amplifier and a third switch coupled between the main signal path and ground. The receive path is active when the first, second, and third switches are in an open position, the first transmit path is active when the first switch is in a closed position, the second switch is in the closed position, and the third switch is in the open position, and the second transmit path is active when the first switch and the third switch are in the closed position, and the second switch is in the open position.
