Abstract
The transmission device comprising a transmit stage configured to deliver a transmission signal on an input-output node of an antenna and comprising a power transistor coupled to the input-output node and configured to amplify a signal to be transmitted. The device comprises a receive stage configured to receive a reception signal on the input-output node and comprising an attenuator circuit configured to attenuate the reception signal. The attenuator circuit comprising the power transistor and a control circuit able to place the power transistor in a triode mode.
