Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first gating circuit; a second gating circuit; a baseband that is coupled to the first gating circuit; a local oscillator that is coupled to the second gating circuit; a transceiver having: a controller that is coupled to the first gating circuit, the second gating circuit, the receiver circuit, and the shared clocking circuit, wherein the controller is configured to supply a first gating signal to the first gating circuit, the receiver circuit, and the shared clocking circuit, and wherein the controller is configured to supply a second gating signal to the second gating circuit and shared clocking circuit, and wherein the controller is configured to control the shared clocking circuit such that the shared clocking circuit provides a first local oscillator signal to the receiver circuit when the first gating signal indicates activation, and wherein the controller is configured to control the shared clocking circuit such that the shared clocking circuit provides a second local oscillator signal to the transmitter circuit when the second gating signal indicates activation.
