Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a radio frequency transceiver and related wireless communication device, and more particularly, to a 'reduced and reduced component to achieve radio frequency transceiver for switching the operation mode of the radio frequency transceiver ^ and Its associated wireless communication device. ' ^ [Prior Art] Wireless transmitters and receivers play an important role in wireless communication devices. With the evolution of wafer technology, wireless transmitters and receivers are usually integrated into a single RF transceiver and implemented as a single chip. . When the RF transceiver operates in the transmitter mode, the RF transceiver generates an RF signal and transmits the RF signal to the air through the antenna; when the RF transceiver operates in the receiver mode, the RF transceiver turns the RF signal received by the antenna The 〇 is replaced by a baseband signal for processing by a baseband processor in the wireless communication device to further control the operation of the wireless communication device. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a functional block diagram of a conventional wireless communication device. The wireless communication device 10 includes an antenna 100, a transceiver (T/R) switch 102, a baseband processor (1) 4, a radio frequency transceiver 100, matching circuits 108, 110, and balun transformers 112 and 114. . The antenna 100 is used for transmitting and receiving RF signals, and the transceiver switch 1〇2 is coupled to the antenna 1〇〇 for switching the transmission and reception paths of the RF 4 201036347 signal. The baseband processor 104 is configured to process the baseband signal to transmit and receive the baseband signal. The RF transceiver 106 is coupled to the baseband processor 1 and 2, the baluns 112 and 114. The main components of the front end of the RF transceiver 106 are a power amplifier 116 and a low noise amplifier (LowNoiseAmplifier) ιι8, other components such as Modulator / Demodulator, up/down regulator (Up/DownConverter) ), Mixers, filters, etc. are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described here nor in Figure 1. The matching circuit 1〇8〇 and the balun 112 are components on the signal transmission path, and the matching circuit 11〇 and the balun 114 are components on the signal receiving path for impedance matching and differential signals. balance. When the RF transceiver 106 is operating in the transmitter mode, the power amplifier 116 amplifies the RF signal to be transmitted, and outputs the RF signal to the balun 112 in a differential manner; then the RF signal sequentially passes through the balanced-unbalanced transformer. 112, the matching circuit 108 and the transceiver switch 1 〇 2, and finally transmitted by the antenna 1 至 into the air. When the RF transceiver 106 is operating in the receiver mode, the antenna 100 receives the RF signal from the air, and the received RF signal sequentially passes through the transceiver 102, the matching circuit no, and the balanced-unbalanced transformer 114' is balanced by an imbalance. Transformer 114 converts to a differential input shot-frequency signal that is input to low noise amplifier 118. The RF transceiver 106 has excellent performance and low insertion loss (Insertion Loss). The impedance matching between the RF transceiver 106 and the antenna 1 也 is also easily adjusted by the matching circuits 108 and 110. However, because the RF transceiver 106 must be used with a variety of external components, the component and area cost of the wireless communication device 10 cannot be reduced. 5 201036347 In order to reduce costs, the prior art proposes another RF transceiver that is connected to the aaJi of the RF transceiver to switch the transmission and reception paths of the signal, replacing the original transceiver switch and reducing external components. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a functional block diagram of a conventional wireless communication device 20. The wireless communication device 2() includes an antenna 2A, a baseband processor 202, a radio frequency transceiver 2〇4, a matching circuit 206, and a balun 208. Except for the radio frequency transceiver 204, the functions of the above-mentioned components are the same as those of the wireless communication device 10, and will not be described herein. The RF transceiver 204 includes a power amplifier 21A, a low noise amplifier 212, and switches SW1 SWSW4. When the RF transceiver 2〇4 operates in the transmitter mode, the switches SW1 and SW2 are turned on and the switches SW3 and SW4 are turned off; at this time, the power amplifier 21 outputs the differential output signals PA_OUT-P and PA-OUT-N to Balance a balun 2〇8. When the RF transceiver 204 is operating in the receiver mode, the switches SW3 and SW4 are turned on and the switches SW1 and SW2 are turned off; at this time, the baluns 2〇8 transmit the differential input signals LNAJN-P and LNAJN-N to low-hybrid Amplifier 212. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the power amplifier 21A and the low noise amplifier 212 in FIG. In Fig. 3, the power amplifier 21 is a Cascade differential amplifier composed of is-type MOS transistors MN1 to MN4. The N-type MOSFET field-effect transistor and MN2 form a common pair of differential pairs, and the N-type MOS field-effect transistors MN3 and MN4 form a common source differential pair. The power amplifier amplifies the differential input signal PA_IN_P&PA_IN_N to generate a differential output signal 6 201036347 PA_OUT_P and PA_OUT_N. The low noise amplifier 212 is composed of N-type MOSFETs MN5 and MN6, and is a common source differential pair. The low noise amplifier 212 amplifies the differential input signals LNA_ΙΝ__Ρ and LNA_IN_N to generate differential output signals LNA-0UT-P and LNA-〇UT-N. The fine operation of the power amplifier 210 and the low noise amplifier 212 is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described herein. As can be seen from the above, the phase #father in the wireless communication device 1 〇, the wireless communication device 2 〇 saves 0 transceiver switch, a matching circuit and a balanced unbalanced transformer. In other words, using the RF transceiver $2〇4 in Figure 2 can save more external components than using the RF transceiver $1〇6 in Figure i. However, from the viewpoint of the radio frequency transceiver, the radio frequency transceiver has more switching elements than the radio frequency transceiver 106, and the cost is high. In the current trend, various wireless devices such as wireless area network cards or wireless area network accessors have been designed to be low-cost and miniaturized. Therefore, it is a big challenge to design a low-cost transmitter chip that also assists the twisted-line communication device to reduce its cost.
