    Abstract: A transceiver includes a radio-frequency (RF) front-end circuit, a dedicated RF front-end circuit, and a switchable matching circuit. The RF front-end circuit deals with communications of at least a first wireless communication standard. The dedicated RF front-end circuit deals with communications of a second wireless communication standard only. The switchable matching circuit is coupled to the RF front-end circuit, the dedicated RF front-end circuit, and a signal port of a chip. The switchable matching circuit provides impedance matching between the signal port and the RF front-end circuit when the RF front-end circuit is in operation, and provides impedance matching between the signal port and the dedicated RF front-end circuit when the dedicated RF front-end circuit is in operation. The RF front-end circuit, the dedicated RF front-end circuit, and the switchable matching circuit are integrated in the chip.

    Abstract: A detection circuit and a method for detecting a change in an output impedance of a transmitting circuit are provided. The detection circuit includes at least one transmitted signal strength indicator (TSSI) circuit and a controller, wherein the controller is coupled to the at least one TSSI circuit. The at least one TSSI circuit is configured to generate a first TSSI result of the transmitting circuit according to a first phase shift and generate a second TSSI result of the transmitting circuit according to a second phase shift. The controller is configured to determine whether the change in the output impedance of the transmitting circuit is detected or not according to the first TSSI result and the second TSSI result.
