Abstract
A system for communicating information signals includes a receiver in selective communication with a first antenna and a second antenna. The receiver is configured to selectively receive information signals via the first or second antenna. The system includes a first low-noise amplifier in communication with the first antenna and in selective communication with the receiver. The first low-noise amplifier is configured to amplify a first information signal received by the first antenna to generate a first amplified signal. The system includes a second low-noise amplifier in communication with the second antenna and in selective communication with the receiver. At least the first and second low-noise amplifiers are formed on a monolithic substrate. The second low-noise amplifier is configured to amplify a second information signal received by the second antenna to generate a second amplified signal. Either the first or second amplified signal is selectively applied to the receiver.
