<p>A circuit for amplifying radio frequency signals comprising: a terminal for connection to an antenna; a common amplifier arranged in a common-gate configuration between a first node and said terminal; a transmit amplifier operable to amplify a radio frequency signal present at an input node and provide the amplified signal to said first node; and a receive amplifier operable to amplify a radio frequency signal present at said first node and provide the amplified signal to an output node; wherein the circuit is operable in two modes: in a receive mode, the common and receive amplifiers being configured so as to together form a receive cascode for amplifying radio frequency signals received at the terminal; and in a transmit mode, the common and transmit amplifiers being configured so as to together form a transmit cascode for amplifying radio frequency signals applied at the input node.</p> |
