A frontend module for Time Division Duplex (TDD) with Carrier Aggregation (CA), wherein the frontend module reuses the band selection filters for the aggregated bands and provides switched connections to antenna and transmitter/receiver according to the Uplink (UL)/Downlink (DL) configuration. The use of switches on both the antenna side and the transmitter/receiver side of the frontend module enables the reuse of the band selection filters. The frontend module according to the present invention reduces the number of required filters to only one filter for each TDD-CA Component Carrier (CC) band. Thus, the frontend module avoids unnecessary band selection filters, and thereby also controls the cost of implementation of frontend modules in wireless units operating in the TDD-CA mode.
