    Abstract: A radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and method of communication are provided. The RFIC includes phased-locked loop (PLL) and data stream circuitry and a plurality of tiles in communication with the PLL and data stream circuitry. The plurality of tiles includes comprising at least one tile for each frequency band of the RFIC. The plurality of tiles are configured to communicate a data stream signal between tiles in a cascading sequence. Each tile of the plurality of tiles includes a plurality of up/down conversion mixers for converting the data stream signal between an intermediate frequency (IF) and a radio frequency (RF). Each tile also includes a plurality of front end (FE) elements, each in communication with a corresponding antenna and an up/down conversion mixer of the plurality of up/down conversion mixers.

    Abstract: A band-switching network includes a dual-band balun and a switch network. The dual-band balun includes a first output and a second output. The switch network includes a first switch and a second switch in which an input to the first switch is coupled to the first output and an input to the second switch is coupled to the second balanced output. The dual-band balun further includes a primary coil, a first secondary coil and a second secondary coil in which the first secondary coil is coupled to the first balanced output and the second secondary coil is coupled to the second balanced output. In one embodiment, the primary coil and the first secondary coil are coupled by a first coupling factor k1, and the primary coil and the second secondary coil are coupled by a second coupling factor k2 that is different from the first coupling factor k1.
