An RF transceiver composed of a zero-IF receiver and a direct up-conversion transmitter for cognitive radio applications is presented. The adjustable channel filter array in the receiver is used to suppress adjacent channel interference in televisions signal coexistence environments. The low noise amplifier （LNA） with wide dynamic range and high linearity is employed to enhance the anti-interference competence of the zero-IF receiver. Meanwhile, the high linearity power amplifier （PA） .is used to promote the adjacent channel power ratio （ACPR） characteristic of the direct up-conversion transmitter. The measured error vector magnitude （EVM） results show that the anti-interference competence of the zero-IF receiver is dramatically enhanced by employing a channel filter array. The measured ACPR of the direct up-conversion transmitter is -47. 98 dBc on the channel centered at 714 MHz when the output power is 27 dBm.
