Techniques to implement a filter for a selected signal path by reusing a circuit component in an unselected signal path are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes first, second, and third circuits (580a, 580b, 560a). The first circuit (580a) passes a first radio frequency (RF) signal to an antenna (598) when a first signal path (522a) is selected. The second circuit (580b) passes a second RF signal to the antenna (598) when a second signal path (522b) is selected. The third circuit (560a) is selectively coupled to the first circuit (580a), e.g., via a switch (562a). The first and third circuits (580a, 560a) form a filter for the second RF signal (e.g., to attenuate a harmonic of the second RF signal) when the second signal path (522b) is selected and the first signal path (522a) is unselected. The first circuit may include a series inductor, and the third circuit may include a shunt capacitor. |
