SIGNAL SPLITTING CARRIER AGGREGATION RECEIVER ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A wireless communication device configured for receiving a multiple carrier signal is described. The wireless communication device includes a primary signal splitting carrier aggregation architecture. The primary signal splitting carrier aggregation architecture includes a primary antenna and a transceiver chip. The primary signal splitting carrier aggregation architecture reuses a first diversity/simultaneous hybrid dual receiver path. The wireless communication device also includes a secondary signal splitting carrier aggregation architecture. The secondary signal splitting carrier aggregation architecture includes a secondary antenna and a receiver chip. The secondary signal splitting carrier aggregation architecture reuses a second diversity/simultaneous hybrid dual receiver path.
