Patent ID: 7149490

Claim:
A method for transferring signals in a communication device between a baseband circuit having a first reception stage, a second reception stage, a first transmission stage, and a second transmission stage, in which, in a transmission mode, a first intermediate signal is generated from a second intermediate signal by a radio-frequency circuit, and in which, in a reception mode, a message signal is obtained from the second intermediate signal and the radio-frequency circuit comprising a first and a second radio-frequency reception stage and a first and a second high frequency transmission stage and, in which, in the transmission mode, the first intermediate signal is converted to a transmission frequency, and, in the reception mode, the second intermediate signal is obtained from a received signal and is transferred to the baseband circuit, in which case the first intermediate signal is transferred during first time slots and the second intermediate signal is transferred during second time slots via a common transfer path, the first time slots not overlapping the second time slots, the method comprising connecting the first reception stage and the first transmission stage and the second reception stage and the second transmission stage via respective first connections with each other inside the baseband circuit stage; connecting the first radio-frequency reception stage and the first radio-frequency transmission stage and the second radio-frequency reception stage and the second radio-frequency transmission stage via respective second connections with each other inside of the radio-frequency transmission stage; guiding outwards at least one of the first connections provided inside of the circuit as common base band connections and the second connections provided inside of the high frequency circuit as common radio frequency connections; and connecting each of the respective first connections with a respective one of the second connections via a respective common transmission path having the form of a line.
