2. A transceiver, comprising:
a receiver;
a transmitter; and
a duplexer coupled to the receiver and transmitter;
wherein the transmitter or receiver includes a tunable SAW resonator, the SAW resonator has a Q, the transmitter or receiver further comprises a resistor coupled to the SAW resonator to reduce the Q, and a tuning component configured to tune the SAW resonator, the tuning component and the SAW resonator are arranged to form a filter, the filter comprises a notch filter wherein the notch filter is used in the receiver to vary the transmit signal rejection of the duplexer.
