Abstract
An integrated circuit device comprising at least one radio frequency (RF) transceiver module. The at least one RF transceiver module includes a plurality of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) operably coupled to external contacts of the integrated circuit device and arranged to receive an RF signal from the respective external contact, amplify the received RF signal, and to output the amplified RF signal. Each transceiver module further includes a plurality of power amplifier (PA) modules operably coupled to the external contact of the integrated circuit device, and arranged to receive an RF signal to be transmitted, amplify the received RF signal to be transmitted, and output the amplified signal. The plurality of LNAs and the plurality of PAs are selectively configurable to operate in at least a first, multi-antenna configuration and a second, single antenna high transmit power configuration.
