Monolithic microwave integrated circuit transceiver
First Claim
1. A transceiver, comprising:
- (a) a first transmit/receive switch, such switch having;
(i) a common port adapted for coupling to an antenna element;
(ii) a transmit port;
(iii) a receive port; and
(iv) a matched load port;
(b) a second transmit/receive switch, such second transmit/receive switch having a common port adapted for coupling to an input/output port;
a transmit port;
a receive port; and
a matched load port; and
(c) a balanced amplifier having;
(i) a pair of input ports, a first one of the pair of input ports being coupled to receive port of the first transmit/receive switch, a second one of the pair of input ports being coupled to the transmit port of the second transmit/receive switch; and
(ii) a pair of output ports, a first one of the pair of output ports being coupled to the transmit port of the first transmit/receive switch and a second one of the pair of ports being coupled to the receive port of the second transmit/receive switch.

Abstract
A transceiver having a transmit/receive switch. The transmit/receive switch includes: a common port adapted for coupling to an antenna element; a transmit port; a receive port and a matched port. The transceiver includes a second switch. The second switch has: a common port adapted for coupling to an input/output port through a gain/phase control unit; a transmit port; a receive port and a matched port. The transceiver includes a balanced amplifier. The balanced amplifier includes a pair of input ports. A first one of the pair of input ports is coupled to receive port of the transmit/receive switch, and a second one of the pair of input ports is coupled to the transmit port of the second switch. The balanced amplifier includes a pair of output ports. A first one of the pair of output ports is coupled to the transmit port of the transmit/receive switch and a second one of the pair of ports is coupled to the receive port of the second switch.
