    Abstract: An apparatus to increase a radio receiver's immunity to radio frequency interference, the radio receiver receiving a signal, the apparatus comprising: a switch (1105) coupled to the received signal, the switch (1105) having an open position and a closed position; a resistance (1101), a first end of the resistance (1101) being coupled to the closed position of the switch (1105) and a second end of the resistance (1101) being coupled to a ground potential; an amplifier (1101) having an input coupled to the open position of the switch (1105), for generating an amplified received signal at an output; a controller coupled to the switch (1105), for switching the switch (1105) to the closed position in response to the received signal exceeding a predetermined power level, said received signal conducting through said switch (1105) and said resistance (1101) to ground potential when said switch (1105) is in said closed position; and said resistance (1101) creating an impedance mismatch at the input to said amplifier (1110) when said switch (1105) is in closed position, thereby reducing the gain contributed by said amplifier (1110).

    Abstract: An amplifier for a radio transceiver overcomes the problem of gain being dependent on ambient temperature. Transmission power is matched to strength of a received signal by providing matched dual gate FET amplifier stages in both the transmitter and receiver portions of the transceiver. Changes in gain due to temperature are compensated for by detecting changes in the FET drain current by measuring the source voltage of the amplifier. The FET source voltage is compared to a reference voltage, and the output signal resulting from the comparison is provided as a control signal to one of the FET gates.

    Abstract: The dual band code division multiple access radio of the present invention operates on multiple frequencies simultaneously on either transmit or receive. The transmit path operates by splitting the transmit intermediate frequency (IF) path (103) and mixing the IF to two different transmit frequencies using two frequency synthesizers (140 and 145). The receive path (104) has two RF channels (116 and 117) that are mixed with the frequencies generated by the synthesizers (140 and 145) and summed into one IF strip. Thus the radio of the present invention can perform a soft hand-off between frequencies while communicating with both base stations simultaneously. Additional mixing paths and synthesizers can be added if it is desired to communicate with more than two base stations simultaneously.\!
