    Abstract: An antenna switching arrangement is disclosed for an rf transceiver which may operate at 2.4GHz or 5GHz. It has been recognised that antenna diversity, if required, is needed only in the receive mode and not in the transmit mode. The resulting circuit comprises a first antenna 113 connected to the common terminal (pole) of a first spdt switch 209, a second antenna 115 connected to the common terminal of a second spdt switch 213, the first and second switches being connected to respective transmitters 101 and 103. The first and second switches are connected to a third spdt switch 211 which in turn connects the antennas to a common receiver 105. This circuit connects each transmitter to its respective antenna through a path which includes only one transmit-receive switch, and thus reduces transmit power losses in comparison to prior art arrangements (fig. 1) in which the transmitter signal must pass through more than one switch.

    Abstract: A circuit board construction 15 comprises a first inductor 13 electrically connected to a second inductor 14, where the first inductor is located on a first surface of the circuit board and the second inductor is located on the other surface of the circuit board. When each inductor has the same inductance, this construction allows the total inductance of the two inductors to remain constant during any deformation of the circuit board as the increase in inductance of one of the inductors as it contracts 19, cancels out the decrease in the inductance of the other, as it expands 17. The circuit board may be used in a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit in, for example, a mobile telephone. The inductors may be air core coiled inductors and the axes of the coils of the first and second inductors may be parallel to each other.

    Abstract: An antenna diversity arrangement for use with an RF transceiver including: a first antenna (113), a second antenna (115), and a first T/R switching device (209) for coupling the first antenna alternatively to a transmitter connection (202) and a receiver connection (206). A selection switching device is provided for alternatively coupling the first antenna and the second antenna to a receiver connection. The arrangement includes a second T/R switching device (213) for coupling the second antenna (115) alternatively to a transmitter connection (101) and a receiver connection (208)and the selection switching device (211) is operable to couple alternatively (i) the first antenna (113) via the first T/R switching device (209); and (ii) the second antenna (115) via the second T/R switching device (213); to a common receiver connection (210).
