Abstract
A millimeter-wave radio frequency front-end circuit is provided. The front-end circuit comprises a millimeter-wave antenna configured to receive and transmit millimeter-wave signals; a matching network including at least a first inductor and a second inductor connected in parallel, wherein the matching network ensures impedance matching with the antenna when transmitting and receiving the millimeter wave signals; a power amplifier coupled to the antenna through the matching network; a low noise amplifier coupled to the antenna through the matching network, wherein the power amplifier is on and the low noise amplifier is off when transmitting the millimeter-wave signals, and the power amplifier is off and the low noise amplifier is on when receiving the millimeter-wave signals.
