A radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit (IC) includes a local
oscillation module, analog radio receiver, analog radio transmitter,
digital receiver module, digital transmitter module, and digital
optimization module. The local oscillation module is operably coupled to
produce at least one local oscillation. The analog radio receiver is
operably coupled to directly convert inbound RF signals into inbound low
intermediate frequency signals based on the local oscillation. The
digital receiver module is operably coupled to process the inbound low IF
signals in accordance with one of a plurality of radio transceiving
standards to produce inbound data. The digital transmitter is operably
coupled to produce an outbound low intermediate frequency signal by
processing outbound data in accordance with the one of the plurality of
radio transceiving standards. The analog radio transmitter is operably
coupled to directly convert the outbound low IF signals into outbound RF
signals based on the local oscillation. The digital optimization module
is operably coupled to the local oscillation module, the analog radio
receiver and/or the analog radio transmitter to optimize performance of
at least one aspect of the local oscillation module, the analog radio
receiver and/or the analog radio transmitter for the given radio
transceiving standard being implemented.
