A circuit arrangement for a multimode mobile telephone that transmits and
receives signals to and from various mobile radio networks contains a
baseband and a transceiver unit. The transceiver unit includes a digital
adaptive predistorter having a switching element. The switching element
is arranged so that an optional connection is created. The optional
connection connects an amplifier output to an input of a receiver causing
that receiver input to be disconnected from an antenna changeover switch.
This way, it is possible for the receiver to be disconnected from a
transmitting and receiving antenna during periods when the receiver is
not receiving signals from the transmitting and receiving antenna. While
the receiver is disconnected from the transmitting and receiving antenna,
the receiver is able to receive other signals. By using a simple switch
the receiver can be disconnected from the transmitting and receiving
antenna, and at the same time establish a connection between the output
of the transmitter amplifier and the input of the receiver. By doing so,
the receiver is able to tap off and detect signals at the output of the
transmitter amplifier.
