<p>A transceiver includes a transmitter and a homodyne receiver, wherein the receiver is used to process both antenna-received and antenna-reflected signals. Thus, during a receive mode, for example, the receiver downconverts antenna-received signals to baseband signals, which are then processed to recover receive signal information. Then, during a transmit mode for example, antenna-reflected transmit signals are fed back to the receiver, which is retuned to the desired transmit frequency, and thus downconverts the reflected transmit signals to baseband signals. These baseband signals are then processed to obtain a characterization of impedance mismatch between the transceiver's transmitter and the associated antenna. An adjustable matching network disposed in the transmit signal path thus may be adjusted based on the characterization to reduce the mismatch. Such configurations may be used with either single-band or multi-band embodiments of the transceiver, and the transceiver may be used in both TDMA and CDMA communication systems.</p> |
