Abstract
A transceiver includes an integrated circuit that enables board-level configuration of an on-chip or external transmit/receive switch. The transceiver uses a high-Q matching network, at least part of which is external, that improves receiver performance; increases transmit power while allowing for configuration of the same chip to use an internal TR switch, or external TR switch by changing connection at the board level rather than the chip level.
