A RF integrated circuit (IC) includes first and second RF transceivers. A processing module generates a first and second control signals to select either a receive mode or a transmit mode for both RF transceiver, each control signal having a first value when the receive mode is selected and a second value when the transmit mode is selected. First and second transmit/receive switches, each include an on-chip microelectromechanical switch, and each respond to their corresponding control signal to implement either the transmit mode or the receiver mode.
