Abstract
A dual band direct conversion architecture for both the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) path of a communications transceiver that minimizes the transceiver area by sharing common circuits used in both RX and TX paths is disclosed. The transceiver also allows the use of extensive digital calibration in order to achieve performance adequate to support high bit rate modulation schemes.
