  • Patent number: 11381274
    Abstract: A transmit-and-receive module includes a multiplexer, a power amplifier, and a low-noise amplifier. The multiplexer includes a transmit filter and a receive filter. The power amplifier and the low-noise amplifier are integrated with each other. In a Smith chart, impedance in a receive band of the receive filter seen from a receive terminal intersects a line connecting a center point of noise figure circles and a center point of gain circles. The center point of the noise figure circles represents the impedance at which the noise figure of the low-noise amplifier is minimized. The center point of the gain circles represents the impedance at which the gain of the low-noise amplifier is maximized.

  • Patent number: 10958408
    Abstract: A transmit-and-receive module includes a power amplifier, a low-noise amplifier, first and second phase shifter circuits, and a correction circuit. The power amplifier amplifies power of first and second transmit signals. The low-noise amplifier amplifies first and second received signals without increasing noise. The first and second phase shifter circuits adjust impedance for the first received signal and that for the second received signal. The correction circuit supplies a canceling signal to an output node of the second phase shifter circuit. The canceling signal is used for canceling the first transmit signal passing through a receive filter.
