  • Patent number: 8792395
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless transceiver system for supporting a dual mode that simultaneously supports the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) method and the Time Division Duplex (TDD) method in a certain frequency band. The present system supports the FDD system conducting transmission and reception simultaneously by using different frequency bands for transmission and reception as well as the TDD system temporally alternating transmission and reception by using the common frequency band among an upper frequency band and a lower frequency band used in the FDD system as well as another frequency band adjacent thereto, thereby selectively supporting both of the two communication systems in a wireless transceiver system.
