A transceiver circuit comprising a transmit path and a receive path, the transmit path comprising at least one digital to analogue converter for converting a digital input signal to an analogue signal, at least one filter for filtering the analogue signal, at least one first frequency synthesizer for producing a first synthesized RF signal, at least one mixer for mixing the analogue signal with the RF signal to produce an RF output, and at least one amplifier for amplifying the RF output for transmission; and the receive path comprising at least one second amplifier for amplifying a received RF input, at least one second frequency synthesizer for generating a second synthesized RF signal, at least one second mixer for mixing the amplified RF input with the second synthesized RF signal to produce a baseband signal, at least one second filter for filtering the baseband signal, and at least one analogue to digital converter for converting the baseband signal to a digital output signal, at least one switch arranged to selectively connect together different points of the circuit thereby to bypass at least one component of the circuit and a control input connected to the at least one switch and arranged to receive control signals for controlling operation of the at least one switch. |
