1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:

  • generating via a directional coupler, one or more output RF signals that are proportional to a received RF signal, wherein said directional coupler is integrated in a multi-layer package;

    processing said generated output RF signals via one or more circuits within an integrated circuit, wherein said integrated circuit is electrically coupled to said multi-layer package; and

    electrically coupling said directional coupler to one or more variable capacitances in said integrated circuit, wherein one or more CMOS devices in said integrated circuit comprise said one or more variable capacitances.
