1. A Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver Integrated Circuit (IC) comprising:

  • a plurality of RF transmitters, each RF transmitter operable to support the transmission of information;

    a plurality of RF receivers, each RF receiver operable to support the receipt of information;

    local oscillation generation circuitry operable to produce a local oscillation; and

    local oscillation distribution circuitry coupled to the local oscillation generation circuitry and having a plurality of local oscillation repeater circuits, each local oscillation repeater circuit comprising;

    a local oscillation repeater circuit input;

    a local oscillation repeater circuit interface driver output coupled to respective one of the plurality of RF receivers or a respective one of the plurality of RF receivers;

    a local oscillation repeater circuit output;

    a first driver having as an input the local oscillation repeater circuit input and as an output the local oscillator repeater circuit output; and

    a second driver having as an input the local oscillation repeater circuit input and as an output the local oscillation repeater circuit interface driver output.
