The transceiver IC 102 is a combination of a transmitter and a receiver in one package. The transceiver IC 102 is an IC that controls radio signal transmission and reception of the radio transceiver 100. The transceiver IC 102 has both a module for transmitting a radio signal and a module for receiving therein. In general, the transceiver IC 102 does not simultaneously transmit and receive a radio signal, but transmits the signal as needed by an internal switching operation. Mode or receive mode. As shown in FIG. 1, the transceiver IC 102 is configured to transmit a voltage having a predetermined magnitude when the transmitter TX outputs a transmission signal, the reception terminal RX to which the reception signal is applied, and the transceiver IC 102 operates in the transmission mode. An output control terminal TX ON / OFF and a reception control terminal RX ON / OFF for outputting a voltage having a predetermined magnitude when operating in a reception mode are included.

The switching controller 104 selectively connects or disconnects the transmitting end TX or the receiving end RX of the transceiver IC 102 from the RF signal input / output terminal 108. In the embodiment of the present invention, only one RF signal input / output terminal 108 connected to an RF transmission / reception antenna (not shown) is provided, and the RF signal input / output terminal 108 is controlled by the switching control unit 104. Is selectively connected to a transmitting end TX or a receiving end RX. That is, when the transceiver IC 102 operates in the transmit mode, the transmit end TX is connected to the RF signal input / output terminal 108, and when the transceiver IC 102 operates in the receive mode, the receive end RX is connected to the RF signal input / output terminal 108. do. Note that the meaning of “connected” in the foregoing or detailed description of the present invention below means that both components are “electrically connected”.

The amplifier 110 connected between the transmitting end TX and the first resistor R1 of the transceiver IC 102 serves to amplify a transmission signal output to the transmitting end TX.

The switching control unit 104 configured as described above operates as follows. First, when the transceiver IC 102 operates in the transmission mode, a voltage having a predetermined magnitude is applied to the transmission control terminal TX ON / OFF. The voltage applied to the transmission control terminal TX ON / OFF is a voltage for turning on the first diode D1, and its magnitude may vary depending on the characteristics of the first diode D1 (generally about About 3V). When a voltage is applied to the transmission control terminal TX ON / OFF as described above, the first diode D1 is turned on, and thus, from the transmitting terminal TX of the transceiver IC 102 to the RF signal input / output terminal 108. An electrical path to be connected is generated, and the transmission signal output from the transmission terminal TX is externally through an antenna (not shown) connected to the RF signal input / output terminal 108 through the amplifier 110 and the band pass filter 112. Is sent.

On the other hand, when the transceiver IC 102 operates in the reception mode, a voltage having a predetermined magnitude is applied to the reception control terminal RX ON / OFF. The voltage applied to the reception control terminal RX ON / OFF is a voltage for turning on the second diode D2. As such, when a voltage is applied to the reception control terminal RX ON / OFF, the second diode D2 is turned on, and thus the RF signal input / output terminal 108 of the transceiver IC 102 is connected to the reception terminal RX. An electrical path to be connected is generated, and the received signal received from the antenna and input to the RF signal input / output terminal 108 is input to the receiving terminal RX of the transceiver IC 102 through the band pass filter 112. The first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 included in the switching controller 104 block unnecessary signal from being applied to the transmission control terminal TX ON / OFF or the reception control terminal RX ON / OFF.

The unnecessary signal removing unit 106 configured as described above operates as follows. First, when a voltage is supplied to the transmission control terminal TX ON / OFF (that is, when the transceiver IC 102 operates in the transmission mode), the voltage supplied is the first diode D1 of the switching controller 104. At the same time, the third diode D3 of the unnecessary signal removing unit 106 is also turned on. Accordingly, the other end of the capacitor C connected to the RF signal input / output terminal 108 is grounded through the turned-on third diode D3, and the capacitor C blocks the unnecessary components of the transmission signal. Will be

Is generated, and the transmission signal output from the transmitting end TX is transmitted through an antenna (not shown) connected to the RF signal input / output terminal 108 through the amplifier 110 and the band pass filter 112. Sent to the outside In addition, the third diode D3 shown in FIG. 1 is turned on due to the voltage applied to the transmission control terminal TX ON / OFF to ground the other end of the capacitor C. Accordingly, the capacitor C Bypasses unnecessary components of the transmission signal.

The electrical path is connected to the ()), and the received signal received from the antenna and input to the RF signal input / output terminal 108 is input to the receiving terminal RX of the transceiver IC 102 through the band pass filter 112. In this case, unlike the transmission mode, the third diode D3 shown in FIG. 1 is turned off, so that the capacitor C does not affect the reception signal at all.

The following table shows the change of the transmission and reception signal before and after the unnecessary signal removal unit 106 is connected to the wireless transceiver 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the capacity of the capacitor (C) was used 1.5pF.
