Abstract:
RF front end circuitry includes primary transceiver circuitry associated with a primary antenna and secondary receiver circuitry associated with a secondary antenna. Generally, the primary transceiver circuitry and the primary antenna are located on one end of a mobile communications device, while the secondary receiver circuitry and the secondary antenna are located at an opposite end of the device. Cross-coupling connection lines run between the antenna switching circuitry for the primary antenna and the secondary antenna, and are reused to send a portion of primary RF transmit signals from the primary transceiver circuitry to the secondary receiver circuitry so that primary RF transmit signals coupled into the secondary receiver path via antenna-to-antenna coupling can be reduced.
