Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed to couple a transmission amplifier and a reception amplifier to a shared medium. An output of the transmission amplifier is directly coupled to an input of the reception amplifier to form a common connection. The transmission amplifier and the reception amplifier may receive a first amplifier bias via the common connection. In response to the first amplifier bias, the transmission amplifier provides a first communication signal to the shared medium and the reception amplifier does not provide a second communication signal from the shared medium. Alternatively, the transmission amplifier and the reception may receive a second amplifier bias via the common connection. In response to the second amplifier bias, the reception amplifier provides the second communication signal from the shared medium and the transmission amplifier does not provide the first communication signal to the shared medium.
