One stage of the quadrature ring oscillator comprises a first resonating element having an input and an output, and a first variable summer having L and P inputs and an output, with its L input being connected to the output of the first resonating element. The output of the first variable summer is connected to the input of the first resonating element The first variable summer may generate its output at a first phase by combining the L and P inputs. A second stage of the LC ring oscillator comprises a second resonating element, which has an input and an output, with its output being connected to the P input of the first variable summer. An inverter is used to produce an inverted signal of the output of the first resonating element. This stage also comprises a second variable summer having L and P inputs and an output, with its output connected to the input of the second resonating element.

The front-end switch includes a receive pole, a transmit pole, and a plurality of switch throws. The back-end switch also includes a receive pole, a transmit pole, and a plurality of switch throws. Each of the plurality of filters has first and second ports, each first port coupled to one of the switch throws of the front-end switch, and each second port coupled to one of the switch throws of the back-end switch. Using this configuration, filters of differing bandwidths can be switched in during signal reception and/or transmission, thereby tailoring the communication rate to the particular conditions.
