Patent ID: 7706759

Claim:
A (radio frequency) RF reception system comprising: an off chip antenna interface that includes: at least one first off-chip impedance matching component coupleable to an antenna; a filter, coupled to the at least one first off-chip impedance matching components; and at least one second off-chip impedance matching component coupled to the bandpass filter; an integrated circuit that includes: an on-chip antenna interface, coupled to the off-chip antenna interface, that forms a first programmable impedance matching network with the at least one first off chip impedance matching component, and forms a second programmable impedance matching network with the at least one second off chip impedance matching component, wherein the first programmable impedance matching network is programmable based on a frequency selection signal, and wherein the second programmable impedance matching network is programmable based on the frequency selection signal; and an RF receiver, coupled to the second programmable impedance matching network, that generates inbound data in response to a received signal from the second programmable impedance matching network.
