Abstract: The present invention relates to a single frequency synthesizer based FDD transceiver. A single frequency synthesizer generates and provides a carrier frequency so that frequency up-conversion and frequency down-conversion can be performed at the time of transmission and reception. Accordingly, the area, power consumption, and design complexity of the entire system can be reduced, and the performance of the system can be improved.
