Abstract
Tunable radio front end systems and methods are disclosed in which the tunable radio front end includes a first tunable impedance matching network, a second tunable impedance matching network, a transmission signal path, and a reception signal path. The transmission signal path can include a first tunable filter in communication with the first tunable impedance matching network, a tunable power amplifier connected to the first tunable filter, and a radio transmitter connected to the tunable power amplifier. The reception signal path can include a second tunable filter in communication with the second tunable impedance matching network, a tunable low-noise amplifier connected to the second tunable filter, and a radio receiver connected to the tunable low-noise amplifier.
