Patent attributes
Apparatus and methods for signal conditioning of radio frequency signals are provided. In certain embodiments, a mobile device includes a transceiver configured to output a differential transmit signal and to receive a single-ended receive signal, and a front end system. The front end system includes a transmit balun, a differential transmit amplifier configured to amplify the differential transmit signal to generate an amplified differential transmit signal provided to a first winding of the transmit balun, a differential receive amplifier configured to amplify a differential receive signal received from the first winding to generate an amplified differential receive signal, and a receive balun configured to convert the amplified differential receive signal into the single-ended receive signal.
