Front-end radio frequency (RF) filters with embedded impedance transformation are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes an active circuit and an RF filter. The active circuit receives an input signal and provides an output signal. The RF filter is operatively coupled to an antenna and the active circuit and performs filtering for the input signal or output signal. The RF filter is impedance matched to the active circuit and includes a non-LC filter. In an exemplary design, the active circuit includes a low noise amplifier (LNA), and the RF filter includes a receive (RX) filter having an output impedance that is matched to an input impedance of the LNA. In another exemplary design, the active circuit includes a power amplifier, and the RF filter includes a transmit (TX) filter having an input impedance that is matched to an output impedance of the power amplifier. |
