Abstract: In certain aspects, a receiver includes first amplifiers, wherein each one of the first amplifiers comprises an input and an output. The receiver also includes second amplifiers, wherein each one of the second amplifiers comprises an input and an output, and the outputs of the second amplifiers are coupled to a combining node. The receiver also includes transmission lines, wherein each one of the transmission lines is coupled between the output of a respective one of the first amplifiers and the input of a respective one of the second amplifiers. The receiver further includes a load coupled to the combining node, and receiver elements, wherein each one of the receiver elements comprises an input and an output, and the output of each one of the receiver elements is coupled to the input of a respective one of the first amplifiers.

Abstract: A method of self-testing a transceiver integrated circuit substrate includes: providing a test signal to a transmission line that is communicatively coupled, or selectively communicatively coupled, to an input of a power amplifier of a first transceiver subcircuit of the transceiver integrated circuit substrate; providing the test signal from the transmission line to an LNA of an LNA of a second transceiver subcircuit of the transceiver integrated circuit substrate; and measuring the test signal before amplification by the LNA, or after amplification by the LNA, or both.

Abstract: A switchable amplifier exhibits multiple modes of operation including a current mode and a voltage mode. The switchable amplifier includes a first transistor having a gate terminal coupled to a drain terminal, one or more second transistors having a gate terminal coupled to the gate terminal of the first transistor, a third transistor and a bias resistor across the third transistor. The third transistor is coupled between the gate terminal of the first transistor and the gate terminal of the one or more second transistors.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus that includes a first mixer circuit configured to convert between an RF signal and an IF signal based at least in part on an local oscillator (LO) signal. The first mixer circuit is electrically coupled to a first node that is configured to receive the LO signal and a first bias voltage, a second node that is configured to receive the RF signal or the IF signal, and a third node that is configured to provide the IF signal or the RF signal. The apparatus further includes a second mixer circuit electrically coupled to a fourth node configured to receive the LO signal and a second bias voltage, the second node, and the third node. The second bias voltage has a voltage level that is offset from the first bias voltage.
