A circuit system for wireless communications via two antennas. The circuit
system includes a printed circuit board having a predetermined area
devoid of a solder mask. According to the invention, an antenna switch,
filter, and power amplifier are mounted on the printed circuit board
within the predetermined area. The antenna switch connects the filter and
the power amplifier with the two antennas. The filter blocks unwanted
frequency components in an RF receive signal from either of the antennas.
A transceiver is responsible for down-converting the RF receive signal a
baseband receive signal and up-converting a baseband transmit signal to
an RF transmit signal. A first matching network coupled between the
filter and the transceiver transforms the RF receive signal from
single-ended to differential. Likewise, a second matching network coupled
between the transceiver and the power amplifier transforms the RF
transmit signal from differential to single-ended.
