Abstract
Several multiband transceivers are disclosed. An exemplified multiband transceiver supporting different bands has a transformer, an inbound switch circuit, and an outbound switch circuit. The transformer has input ports on a primary side, and output ports on a secondary side. The input ports are direct-current isolated from and magnetically coupled to the output ports. The inbound switch circuit is configured to connect one of the input ports with an RF signal source for signal transmission. The outbound switch circuit is configured to connect one of the output ports with a RF output load. Optionally, an input tunable capacitor is configured to shunt with the effective inductance of one of the input ports and form a LC tank for band selection.
