    Abstract: A TX/RX RF switch that may include a reception path; and a transmission path that has an antenna port, a transmission input port, and transmission transistors. The transmission transistors have source-bulk connections. The reception path has an antenna port, a reception output port, and reception transistors. The reception path includes a first reception transistor that is closest to the antenna port, out of the reception transistors, and has a source-bulk connection, and at least one other reception transistor that has a bulk-to-ground connection. The reception transistors and the transmission transistors are CMOS transistors.

    Abstract: A low noise amplifier that includes a first cascode, a second cascode, an input circuit, an output node, a first switch, and a second switch. A source of a first common gate transistor and a drain of a first common source transistor of the first cascode are coupled to a first node of the low noise amplifier. The output node is coupled to a drain of the first common gate transistor, and to a drain of a second common gate transistor of the second cascode, thereby coupling the first cascode and the second cascode to a power supply via a load. The first switch is coupled between a gate of the first common gate transistor and the power supply. The second switch is coupled between the first node and the power supply. The first switch is configured to be open and the second switch is configured to be closed when the low noise amplifier operates at a first operational node. The first switch is configured to be closed and the second switch is configured to be open when the low noise amplifier operates at a second operational node that differs from the first operational mode by at least a gain of the low noise amplifier.

    Abstract: A novel and useful configurable radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA) and related front end module (FEM) circuit that enables manipulation of the operating point of the power amplifier resulting in configurability, multimode and multiband operating capability. The configurable PA also provides high linearity and power efficiency and meets the requirements of modern wireless communication standards such as 802.11 WLAN, 3G and 4G cellular standards, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc. The configurable power amplifier is made up of one or more configurable sub-amplifiers having each constructed to have several orders of freedom (i.e. biasing points). Each sub-amplifier and its combiner path include active and passive elements. Manipulating one or more biasing points of each sub-amplifier, and therefore of the aggregate power amplifier as well, achieves multimode and multiband operation. Biasing points include, for example, the gain and saturation point, frequency response, linearity level and EVM. An integrated multi-tap transformer having primary and secondary windings arranged in a novel configuration provides efficient power combining and transfer to the antenna of the power generated by the individual sub-amplifiers.
