A transmit-and-receive module includes a duplexer, a power amplifier, and a low-noise amplifier. The duplexer includes a transmit filter and a receive filter. The power amplifier and the low-noise amplifier are integrated with each other. In a Smith chart, impedance in a receive band of the receive filter seen from a receive terminal intersects a line connecting a center point of noise figure circles and a center point of gain circles. The center point of the noise figure circles represents the impedance at which the noise figure of the low-noise amplifier is minimized. The center point of the gain circles represents the impedance at which the gain of the low-noise amplifier is maximized.

The disclosure provides a device for impedance matching and switching for coupling a transmit path and a receive path of a transceiver to at least one antenna. The device can have an on-chip matching circuitry disposed within a chip and off-chip matching circuitry disposed outside the chip but coupled to the on-chip matching circuitry. The device can have a controller coupled to the on-chip matching circuitry configured to switch the on-chip matching circuitry to provide matched impedance for the transmit path in a transmit mode and matched impedance for the receive path in a receive mode. The off-chip matching circuitry can provide high impedance in the receive path in the transmit mode and provide high impedance in the transmit path in the receive mode. The resonant matching circuit can also have an antenna node coupling the transmit path and the receive path to the at least one antenna.

A FET-based RF switch architecture and method that provides for independent control of FETs within component branches of a switching circuit. With independent control of branch FETs, every RF FET in an inactive branch that is in an open (capacitive) state can be shunted to RF ground and thus mitigate impedance mismatch effects. Providing a sufficiently low impedance to RF ground diminishes such negative effects and reduces the sensitivity of the switch circuit to non-matched impedances.

A plurality of transistor switch circuits, are connected to a respective one of the plurality of signal ports and to the antenna port. Each of the transistor switch circuits has a transistor, which in an off state, together with a harmonic suppression capacitor and a parallel inductor both connected thereto, define a tank circuit that suppresses RF signals applied to the corresponding transistor switch circuit from a different one of the transistor switch circuits. The harmonic suppression capacitor is tuned to distribute large signal voltage swings in the RF signal amongst parasitic diodes of the transistor.

A flexible radio assignment algorithm that reduces co-channel interference in Wi-Fi networks is disclosed. The flexible radio assignment algorithm calculates a density value for each of the APs controlled by a network controller. The flexible radio assignment algorithm selects an AP with the highest density value and determines that a radio in the selected AP is redundant. The flexible radio assignment algorithm manages the redundant radio in the selected AP to mitigate co-channel interference in a frequency band.
