Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for single chip WLAN and Bluetooth radios on a single CMOS substrate are presented. Aspects of the system may include a WLAN receiver circuit within a substrate of a single chip that enables reception of WLAN signals, and a Bluetooth receiver circuit within the same substrate that enables reception of Bluetooth signals. The WLAN receiver circuit and Bluetooth receiver circuit may utilize a single low noise amplifier circuit that enables reception of the WLAN signals and Bluetooth signals. Aspects of the system may also include a WLAN transmitter circuit within a substrate of a single chip that enables transmission of WLAN signals, and a Bluetooth transmitter circuit within the same substrate that enables transmission of Bluetooth signals. The WLAN transmitter circuit and Bluetooth transmitter circuit may utilize a single power amplifier circuit that enables transmission of the WLAN signals and Bluetooth signals.
