CARRIER AGGREGATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

Front end circuitry for a wireless communication system includes a first antenna node, a second antenna node, a first triplexer, a second triplexer, and front end switching circuitry coupled between the first triplexer, the second triplexer, the first antenna node, and the second antenna node. The front end switching circuitry is configured to selectively couple the first triplexer to one of the first antenna node and the second antenna node and couple the second triplexer to a different one of the first antenna node and the second antenna node. By using a first triplexer and a second triplexer in the mobile front end circuitry, the mobile front end circuitry may operate in one or more carrier aggregation configurations while reducing the maximum load presented to the first antenna node and the second antenna node, thereby improving the performance of the front end circuitry.
