Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A front end device includes an upper-level device and a lower-level device. The upper-level device includes an S/P interface unit. The lower-level device includes a parallel interface unit and a high-frequency processor. The S/P interface unit is connected to an RFIC and the parallel interface unit, receives a serial signal from the RFIC, converts the serial signal into a parallel signal, and transmits the parallel signal to the parallel interface unit. The parallel interface unit receives the parallel signal and supplies the parallel signal to the high-frequency processor. The high-frequency processor is connected between the RFIC and an antenna and performs certain processing on a high-frequency signal based on the parallel signal.
