Abstract:
1. An RF integrated circuit (IC) comprising: a first IC port for coupling a first transmit signal in a first frequency band to at least one external device; a second IC port for coupling a second transmit signal in a second frequency band to the at least one external device; and a transmitter module, coupled to the first IC port and the second IC port, that responds to outbound data to generate the first transmit signal in a first mode of operation and to generate the second transmit signal in a second mode of operation, wherein the transmitter module generates the first transmit signal and the second transmit signal in a selected one of a plurality of wireless telephony formats based on a control signal, and wherein the plurality of wireless telephony formats includes a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) format and at least one non-UMTS format.
