1. A transceiver comprising:
- a first differential node for receiving a received signal and transmitting a transmitted signal;
a differential receiver, connected between a first voltage and the first node, for processing the received signal;
a differential transmitter, connected between a second voltage and the first node, for generating the transmitted signal;
a balun connected across the first node; and
a DC voltage controller comprising a centre tap voltage controller for selecting a centre tap voltage for a centre tap of the balun for at least one of;
selectively activating at least one of the transmitter and the receiver; and
selectively substantially deactivating at least one of the transmitter and receiver.

Abstract
There is provided a transceiver comprising a first node for receiving a received signal and transmitting a transmitted signal; a receiver, connected between a first voltage and the first node, for processing the received signal; a transmitter, connected between a second voltage and the first node, for generating the transmitted signal; and a DC voltage controller for selecting a DC component of a voltage of the first node to at least one of: selectively activate at least one of the transmitter and the receiver; and selectively substantially deactivate at least one of the transmitter and receiver.

16. A method of operating a transceiver, wherein the transceiver comprises a differential receiver, connected between a first voltage and a first differential node, for processing the received signal, and a differential transmitter, connected between a second voltage and the first node, for generating the transmitted signal;
- and the method comprises controlling a DC component of a voltage of the first node to selectively activate at least one of the transmitter and the receiver, wherein controlling a DC component comprises controlling a voltage of a centre tap of at least one of a balun and a differential antenna connected across the first node.
