Abstract:
Aspects disclosed in the detailed description include antenna switching for a communication circuit. A communication circuit includes an antenna switching circuit that couples the communication circuit to a first antenna and/or a second antenna for radio frequency (RF) signal transmission and reception. The antenna switching circuit is configured to include fewer antenna switches compared to a conventional antenna switching circuit to reduce the cost and footprint of the communication circuit. Furthermore, by reducing the number of antenna switches in the antenna switching circuit, it is possible to improve RF isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna, thus leading to improved RF performance of the communication circuit.
