Abstract
Frequency synthesizers of a radio transceiver are automatically tuned so that its transmit and receive frequencies correspond to whichever upper band and lower band filters the radio transceiver has been connected by the user. A capacitive electrical impedance interface is coupled to filter circuitry of an upper band filter section, while an inductive electrical impedance interface is coupled to filter circuitry of the lower based filter section. A voltage reference circuit is coupled to one of the transmit port and the receive port of the transceiver. A controller is operative to automatically tune the transceiver to transmit in one of the upper and lower frequency bands, and to receive on the other frequency band, in accordance with the voltage level generated by the voltage reference circuit.
