APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR CO-RECEPTION (CO-RX) OPERATION OF MULTIPLE TRANSCEIVER RADIOS SHARING THE SAME ANTENNA AND LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER (LNA)
A method for Co-Reception (Co-Rx) operation of multiple transceiver radios sharing the same antenna and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is provided.

The LNA is shared by the first receiver radio and the second receiver radio and is coupled to an antenna. A Packet Traffic Arbitration (PTA) circuitry of the wireless communication device configures the LNA to operate in the first gain mode or the second gain mode based on the priority levels of the first receiver radio and the second receiver radio.

INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER WITH A CONFIGURABLE HIGH-PASS FILTER
A device comprises a digital ramp generator, an oscillator, a power amplifier, a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a mixer, and an intermediate frequency amplifier (IFA). The oscillator generates a chirp signal based on an output from the digital ramp generator. The power amplifier receives the chirp signal and outputs an amplified chirp signal to a transmitter antenna. The LNA receives a reflected chirp signal from a receiver antenna. The mixer receives output of the LNA and combines it with the chirp signal from the oscillator. The IFA receives the mixer output signal and includes a configurable high-pass filter, which has a first cutoff frequency during a first portion of the chirp signal and a second cutoff frequency during a second portion of the chirp signal. In some implementations, the first cutoff frequency is chosen based on a frequency of a blocker signal introduced by couplings between the transmitter and receiver antennas.
