Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosed providing signal conditioning circuits configured to condition RF signals, and an interface in communication with the signal-conditioning circuits, the interface including M inputs and N outputs, each of the quantities M and N greater than 1. The interface is configured so that each of at least two of the M inputs is coupled to a separate output through a separate switch.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A radio-frequency module comprising: a single-pole, multiple-throw switch coupled at a pole to an antenna signal transmission path and at each of a quantity M of throws to a separate one of M signal paths configured to transmit radio-frequency signals; and an interface module including M input pins electrically coupled to the M signal paths, respectively, and a quantity N of output pins, each of the quantities M and N greater than 1, the interface module i…
