Abstract:
A method, transceiver integrated circuit (IC), and communications device that employs a PIN Diode switch in connection with a transceiver integrated circuit in order to provide a highly linear path for simultaneously transmitted signals in a multi-band wireless communications device. A high linearity switch (HLS) utility/controller configures the PIN diode switch for switching between dual and single transmission modes. In the dual transmission mode, both a series PIN diode and a shunt PIN diode of the switch are biased to an on-state. A first transceiver generates and simultaneously transmits different transmission signals occupying different frequency bands to at least one antenna by utilizing a highly linear circuit path that includes the series PIN diode. In single transmission mode, both diodes are biased to an off-state which allows a second transceiver to transmit a single transmission signal to at least one antenna via a switch path with a low insertion loss impact.
