Abstract

Radio transceiver, in particular, a mobile telephone having a transmitter output stage, a receiver part, a transmission/reception antenna which is assigned jointly to the transmitter output stage and the receiver part, a transmission band-transmitting filter and a reception band-transmitting filter, having a compensation element, connected between the output of the transmitter output stage and the input of the receiver part, for compensating crosstalk of a transmission signal element onto the receiver part.

Claims

1. A radio transceiver comprising:

a transmitter output stage;

a receiver part;

a transmission/reception antenna which is jointly assigned to the transmitter output stage and the receiver part;

a transmission band-transmitting filter which is connected between the output of the transmitter output stage and an antenna feedpoint;

a reception band-transmitting filter which is connected between the antenna feedpoint and the input of the receiver part;

a compensation element which is connected between the output of the transmitter output stage and the input of the receiver part and compensates crosstalk from a transmission signal element onto the receiver part; and

a compensation control unit to adaptively set compensation characteristics as a function of the input voltage or input power at the input of the receiver part being assigned to the compensation element, wherein a voltage measuring device which is connected to the compensation control unit measures the input voltage of the receiver part, the voltage measuring device comprising a device for IF conversion of the input signal of the receiver part, a bandpass filter which is connected downstream and an AM receiver part which is connected to its output and whose output is used to set the compensation characteristics.

2. The radio transceiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compensation element is connected in parallel with the transmission band-transmitting filter and with the reception band-transmitting filter to the input of a reception pre-amplifier or reception mixer of the receiver part.

3. The radio transceiver as claimed in claim 1 wherein the bandpass filter is tuned to a reception frequency in narrowband fashion.

4. The radio transceiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compensation element is integrated into an RF component of the transmitter output stage or of the receiver part.

5. The radio transceiver as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compensation element comprises highly integrated silicon technology.

6. The radio receiver of claim 1, wherein the compensation characteristics include phase and amplitude of the output signal.
