Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus comprises a transmit network to transmit an input from a first amplifier to an antenna, a receive network to provide an input from an antenna to a second amplifier, a first switch to selectively decouple the transmit network from the antenna, and a second switch to selectively decouple the receive network from the antenna. Other embodiments may be described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method to switch a transmit/receive module comprising a transmit network and a receive network between a receive state and a transmit state, comprising: activating a connection in the receive network to establish a high-impedance circuit in the receive network by operating a first switch in the receive network to establish the high-impedance circuit in the receive network to effectively decouple the receive network from the antenna; and coupling the tran…
