    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.

    A transmitter splits a signal into a plurality of sub-signals, each containing a plurality of sub-carriers, and amplifies each sub-signal separately.

    Abstract: A receiver circuit for use in a wireless communication unit (100) includes signal measurement means (112, 270, 280) for measuring a wideband signal strength of a received radio frequency signal. The receiver also includes a signal processor (225) operably coupled to the signal measurement means (112, 270, 280) for determining whether a dynamic range performance of the receiver should be adapted based on the measured wideband signal strength. A radio frequency amplifier (220), has a current level controlled (290) by a control signal produced by the signal processor (225), wherein the signal processor (225) controls the current consumption of the radio frequency amplifier (220) to set a dynamic range performance of the receiver. The receiver circuit provides the advantage that the necessary dynamic range is determined in an adaptive, real-time manner so as to save battery current.
