Abstract
A receiver having a circuit configurable to function as a low-noise amplifier or a calibration source and having at least one circuit element that is shared between these two circuit functions. Advantageously, the shared circuit element saves at least the amount of die area that would have been taken by a second instance of that circuit element.
