A transceiver (400) is provided in an ultrawide bandwidth device, which includes an antenna (110), a transmitter circuit (145), and a receiver circuit (165). A transmitter amplifier (440) is provided between the antenna (110 ) and the transmitter circuit (145), and is configured to have an operational transmitter output impedance when the transceiver (400) is in a transmit mode and an isolation transmitter output impedance when the transceiver (400) is in a receive mode. A receiver amplifier (460) is provided. between the antenna (110) and the receiver circuit (165), and is configured to have an operational receiver input impedance when the transceiver (400) is in a receive mode and an isolation receiver input impedance when the transceiver (400) is in a transmit mode. The isolation transmitter output impedance is greater than the operational receiver input impedance, and the isolation receiver input impedance is greater than the operational transmitter output impedance. Thus, a transmitter and receiver can be isolated without using a transmit/receive switch. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
