Abstract
A receiver with bypass mode for improved sensitivity is disclosed. An apparatus is provided that includes a non-bypass signal path coupled to a receiver, the non-bypass signal path comprising a filter, a bypass signal path coupled to the receiver, the bypass signal path configure to bypass the filter, and a switch configured to couple an antenna to the non-bypass signal path during time intervals when signals transmitted by a related local transmitter are transmitted with a signal power that exceeds a threshold, and to couple the antenna to the bypass signal path during other time intervals. In another aspect, the switch is configured to couple the antenna to the non-bypass signal path during time intervals when a jamming signal in a selected frequency range is received with a signal power that exceeds a threshold, and to couple the antenna to the bypass signal path during other time intervals.
