We introduce a multimode and wideband quadrature balanced CMOS RF front end (RFFE) supporting full-duplex (FD), half-duplex (HD), and frequency-division duplex (FDD) operation at the 5-6 GHz band. The proposed RFFE is enhanced by nonlinear digital algorithms that maintain optimal performance at high transmit (Tx) power levels. A theoretical model of the transmit-receive (TR) cross-modulation (CM) distortion mechanism stemming from instantaneous variations in the power amplifiers (PAs) output impedance is laid out and verified in simulation and measurement.
