CONFIGURABLE TRANSCEIVER AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH
First Claim
1. A configurable radio frequency (RF) transceiver comprising:
- a configuration controller that generates at least one mode control signal that indicates an isolation mode, a frequency mode and an antenna mode;
an antenna section, coupled to the configuration controller, that includes a plurality of antennas and that selects an antenna configuration based on the at least one mode control signal;
an isolation section, coupled to the antenna section and the configuration controller, that includes a plurality of isolation circuits and that selects an isolation circuit based on the at least one mode control signal;
an RF section, coupled to the isolation section and the configuration controller, that selects an RF configuration based on the at least one mode control signal; and
a baseband section, coupled to the RF section and the configuration controller, that selects a baseband configuration based on the at least one mode control signal.

Abstract
A configurable radio frequency (RF) transceiver includes a configuration controller that generates at least one mode control signal that indicates an isolation mode, a frequency mode and an antenna mode. An antenna section includes a plurality of antennas and that selects an antenna configuration based on the at least one mode control signal. An isolation section includes a plurality of isolation circuits and that selects an isolation circuit based on the at least one mode control signal. An RF section selects an RF configuration based on the at least one mode control signal. A baseband section selects a baseband configuration based on the at least one mode control signal.
