Abstract

A transmit/receive module includes an integrated control circuit. The integrated control circuit includes an RFIC input terminal, multiple pairs of I/O terminals, a power splitter/combiner having an input connected to the RFIC input terminal, a plurality of phase shifters connected between outputs of the power splitter/combiner and the I/O terminals, and a power sensor connected to each one of the I/O terminals. The integrated control circuit further includes a plurality of transmit/receive integrated circuits that each include a TX input terminal, an RX output terminal, an antenna interface terminal, a power amplifier connected, a low noise, and a switch connected between the power amplifier, the low noise amplifier and the antenna interface terminal. Gate and drain terminals of a final stage of each power amplifier of the transmit/receive integrated circuits are independently connected to and controllable by the integrated control circuit.
