Abstract:
1. A transceiver apparatus comprising a software-definable-radio-transceiver architecture, the transceiver apparatus comprising: an up-conversion path including at least one configurable micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) transmit filter communicatively coupled to transmit output from a digital-to-analog converter to an antenna; and a down-conversion path including at least one configurable-MEMS-receive filter communicatively coupled to transmit signals received from the antenna to an analog-to-digital converter; wherein the at least one configurable-MEMS-transmit filter prevents interference on the up-conversion path from signals transmitted from the antenna, and wherein the at least one configurable-MEMS-receive filter prevents interference on the down-conversion path from signals received by the antenna.
