Radio communications transceiver with integrated filter, antenna switch, directional coupler and active components
First Claim
1. A radio transceiver comprising a receiver section, a transmitter section, a switching means section, and a filter section, said receiver, transmitter, and switching means sections being collectively formed on at least two physically separable components, all sections being mounted on a single common support structure and connected by conducting paths associated with said support structure to thereby form a discrete structural entity, wherein the impedance characteristics of said connected transceiver sections on said single common support structure are substantially optimally matched, and further wherein:
- said receiver section comprises a low noise amplifier, and a first mixer;
said transmitter section comprises a power amplifier, a directional coupler, and a second mixer;
said switching means is connected between said filter and said transmitter and receiver sections to thereby form an antenna switch; and
said filter section comprises transmission line resonators and an electrically conducting protective cover, wherein said transmitter section and receiver section are located within said conducting protective cover.

Abstract
The object of the invention is a radio communication transceiver, in which the low noise pre-amplifier and mixer of the receiver and the power amplifier, directional coupler and the mixer of the transmitter are integrated in connection with the filter section. The active components are integrated with the filter so that the entity forms one component on the circuit board of the telephone.
