Patent ID: 8442465

Claim:
A radio frequency (RF) circuit, comprising: a low-noise amplification (LNA) circuit having a power gain frequency response that defines a power gain resonance frequency band wherein the LNA circuit is operable to amplify a receive signal transmitted within a receive frequency band in accordance with the power gain frequency response, the LNA circuit being configured to provide the power gain frequency response such that the receive frequency band is within the power gain resonance frequency band in an amplification mode and provide the power gain frequency response such that the power gain resonance frequency band is outside of the receive frequency band in a bypass mode; and a bypass path operably associated with the LNA circuit to provide a bypass for the receive signal around the LNA circuit, the bypass path being configured to be closed during the bypass mode so that the receive signal bypasses the LNA circuit and being configured to be opened during the amplification mode so that the LNA circuit amplifies the receive signal.
