Abstract

Fail-safe methods and devices to protect the receiver of a transceiver in the event of an antenna failure are disclosed. The described devices implement inductive and capacitive elements to replace switches and can be used in any communication system or electronic circuit where the protection of a portion of the device from higher power signals is required. The inductive elements can be implemented using already existing inductors that are constituents of the receiver matching network. Configurations with off-chip capacitive or inductive components are also possible.
