Patent number: 9184780Abstract: A transceiver includes a power amplifying circuit, a first balance-unbalance circuit, a switchable matching circuit, and a low-noise amplifying circuit. The power amplifying circuit generates differential output signals during a transmitting mode of the transceiver. The first balance-unbalance circuit converts the differential output signals into a single-ended output signal. The switchable matching circuit receives the single-ended output signal on a signal port of the transceiver during the transmitting mode, and converts a single-ended receiving signal on the signal port into a single-ended input signal during a receiving mode of the transceiver. The low-noise amplifying circuit converts the single-ended input signal into a low-noise input signal during the receiving mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2015Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: MediaTek Singapore Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Ti-Ku Yu, Sang Won Son, Chia-Hsin Wu, Tsung-Ming Chen, Wei-Chia Chan
