Abstract
An integrated circuit radio transceiver and method therefor includes circuitry and logic for transmitting outgoing or ingoing communication signals as well as one of a digital data signal or a digital clock on the same antenna signal paths between a radio and a switch fabric. The switch fabric is operable to selectively couple any of a plurality of antennas to antenna signal paths based upon the digital data and the digital clock extracted from at least one of the antenna signal paths conducting RF signals. The switch fabric is further operable to extract all required power from at least one antenna signal path that may be used to conduct RF.
