A duplexer-less transceiver arrangement is disclosed. The transceiver comprises a receiver configured for frequency-division duplex communication with a communication network; a transmitter configured for frequency-division duplex communication with the communication network; an antenna port for connecting to an antenna; a balancing impedance circuit arranged to provide an adaptive impedance arranged to mimic the impedance at the antenna port; and an impedance network differentially connecting the receiver, transmitter, antenna port and balancing impedance circuit, wherein the impedance network includes a cross-connection.

Duplexer-less transceiver and communication apparatus

A transceiver front-end is connectable to a signal transmission and reception arrangement adapted to transmit and receive with respective frequencies. The transceiver front-end comprises at least one of a transmit frequency blocking arrangement and a receive frequency blocking arrangement. For instance, the transmit frequency blocking arrangement has a blocking and non-blocking frequency interval associated with the transmit frequency and receive frequency, respectively, and is adapted to block passage of transmit frequency signals between the signal transmission and reception arrangement and the receiver. At least one of the transmit frequency blocking arrangement and the receive frequency blocking arrangement comprises a network of passive components comprising at least one transformer and a frequency translated impedance adapted to have a higher impedance value in the blocking frequency interval than in the non-blocking frequency interval.

Transceiver front-end for blocking transmit or receive frequency signals

A duplexer-less transceiver arrangement () is disclosed. The transceiver comprises a receiver () arranged for frequency-division duplex communication with a communication network; a transmitter () arranged for frequency-division duplex communication with the communication network; an antenna port () for connecting to an antenna; a balancing impedance circuit () arranged to provide an adaptive impedance arranged to mimic the impedance at the antenna port; and an impedance network differentially connecting the receiver (), transmitter (), antenna port () and balancing impedance circuit (), wherein the impedance network includes a cross-connection.

A transceiver comprises a receiver, a transmitter, a signal transmission arrangement, a first signal transferring element, and a transformer having magnetically-connected first and second windings. The first signal transferring element is between the transmitter output and the signal transmission arrangement, which is arranged to transmit signals from the transmitter and to receive signals and provide them to the receiver. The first winding of the transformer is connected in parallel with the first signal transferring element, which has input and output impedances so that signals from the transmitter output reach the signal transmission arrangement, while signals from the signal transmission arrangement do not reach the transmitter output. As such, the first signal transferring element is arranged to transfer signals from the transmitter to the signal transmission arrangement such that the transmitter contribution to the signal in the first winding is suppressed.

Transceiver and communication device

A transceiver front-end of a communication device comprises a frequency blocking arrangement, which may be either a transmit frequency blocking arrangement or a receive frequency blocking arrangement. The frequency blocking arrangement has a blocking frequency interval associated with one of a transmit frequency and receive frequency, and a non-blocking frequency interval associated with the other of the transmit frequency and receive frequency. The frequency blocking arrangement is configured to block passage of signals in the blocking frequency interval between said signal transmission and reception node and either said receiver node or said transmitter node. The frequency blocking arrangement comprises a network of passive components comprising at least one transformer and a filter arrangement adapted to have a higher impedance value in the blocking frequency interval than in the non-blocking frequency interval.

Transceiver front-end

A transceiver front-end for a communication device comprises a transmit frequency blocking arrangement and a receive frequency blocking arrangement. The transmit frequency blocking arrangement has a blocking frequency interval associated with the transmit frequency and a non-blocking frequency interval associated with the receive frequency, and is configured to block passage of transmit frequency signals between the signal transmission and reception arrangement and the receiver. The receive frequency blocking arrangement has a blocking frequency interval associated with the receive frequency and a non-blocking frequency interval associated with the transmit frequency, and is configured to block passage of receive frequency signals between the signal transmission and reception arrangement and the transmitter. One of the frequency blocking arrangements comprises a network of passive components including at least one transformer and a filter arrangement with a higher impedance at the blocking frequency interval than at the non-blocking frequency interval.

A receiver arrangement includes a single ended multiband feedback amplifier, at least one single ended input, differential output mixer arrangement including a main mixer and a trim mixer, and a mixer feedback loop circuit configured to receive differential output signals generated by the mixer arrangement. The mixer feedback loop circuit generates a feedback signal based on the received differential output signals and provides the feedback signal to the mixer arrangement to minimize DC-offset and second order intermodulation products. The single ended multiband feedback amplifier may include an input stage and a programmable resonance tank circuit connected to the input stage for suppressing downconverted noise from harmonics of the LO-frequency, and a configurable feedback net that shapes the frequency response of a feedback loop including the feedback net based on a band operation of the single ended multiband feedback amplifier.
