Claim Text:
1. A method for single signal transmit/receive module amplifier switching control, comprising the steps of: (A) receiving a control signal through a single pin of a circuit, wherein said control signal alternately conveys (i) a receive mode and (ii) a transmit mode; (B) generating a transmit signal in a disabled state in response to said control signal transitioning from said transmit mode to said receive mode, wherein said transmit signal in said disabled state is configured to disable a transmit amplifier; and (C) generating a receive signal in an enabled state a receive delay time after said control signal transitions from said transmit mode to said receive mode, wherein (i) said receive signal in said enabled state is configured to enable a receive amplifier, and (ii) said receive delay time allows said transmit amplifier to switch off before said receive amplifier switches on.
