Abstract
A radio-frequency amplifier includes a matching network comprising a switching unit. The switching unit is operable in a first condition to provide a selected impedance at a first selected frequency. The switching unit is operable in a second condition to form a bandstop filter. A stop band of the bandstop filter includes a second selected frequency. The first selected frequency may be a second harmonic of a transmission frequency different from the second selected frequency. A multi-band transceiver is also described, as is a method of transmitting a first signal and a second signal.
