Abstract
A method for single signal transmit/receive module amplifier switching control is disclosed. Step (A) of the method may receive a control signal through a single pin of a circuit. The control signal may alternately conveys (i) a receive mode and (ii) a transmit mode. Step (B) may generate a transmit signal in a disabled state in response to the control signal transitioning from the transmit mode to the receive mode. The transmit signal in the disabled state is generally configured to disable a transmit amplifier. Step (C) may generate a receive signal in an enabled state a receive delay time after the control signal transitions from the transmit mode to the receive mode. The receive signal in the enabled state is generally configured to enable a receive amplifier. The receive delay time may allow the transmit amplifier to switch off before the receive amplifier switches on.
