An architecture for a receiver front end utilizes a dual output low noise
amplifier (102) driving separate, fixed preselectors (104, 106) coupled
to a transformer (108) to generate a single ended output (113). A pair of
blocks coupled in series provides a dual band output. Additional pairs of
blocks (201, 203) can be cascaded in parallel to provide additional
frequency bands of operation. The front end architecture of the present
invention provides switchless multi-band operation to a communication
device.
