network infrastructure are converted into electromagnetic form for transmission therefrom to the network infrastructure the antenna transducer is coupled such as by way of a duplexer filter not shown to both the receive and transmit portions of the mobile station here the line 18 is shown to extend both to receive circuitry 22 and to transmit circuitry 24 of the respective portions of the mobile station the receive circuitry 22 is operable to perform conventional receive functions upon a receive signal such as the forward link signal transmitted the link 12 to the mobile station receive functions performed upon the receive signal include for instance down conversion and demodulation operations analogously the transmit circuitry 24 is operable to perform conventional transmit functions upon data which is to be communicated by the mobile station for instance the transmit circuitry performs functions such as encoding modulation and up conversion of data to be communicated by the mobile station once such operations are performed upon the data to be communicated a transmit signal at rf radio frequency levels and appropriate power levels are provided to the antenna transducer 16 by way of the line 18 the mobile station 10 is further shown to include control circuitry 26 coupled to both the receive and transmit circuitry 22 and 24 the controller is operable amongst other things to control operation of the receive and transmit circuitry.
