Abstract: The disclosure includes communication circuitry with a tunable filter configured to tunably filter in a split band. In a first embodiment, communication circuitry includes a tunable filter and a first additional filter. The communication circuitry is configured to communicate within a low target band and within a high target band, wherein an exclusion band is located between the low target band and the high target band. The tunable filter is configured to filter within a low tunable band when tuned within the low tunable band, and configured to filter within a high tunable band when tuned within the high tunable band. The first additional filter is configured to filter in a first additional filter band located in an upper edge of the low target band.

Abstract: Antenna tuning circuitry includes an antenna tuning node, an antenna tuning switch, and a resonant tuning circuit. The antenna tuning node is coupled to a resonant conduction element of an antenna. The antenna tuning switch and the resonant tuning circuit are coupled in series between the antenna tuning switch and the antenna tuning node, such that the resonant tuning circuit is between the antenna tuning node and the antenna tuning switch. The resonant tuning circuit is configured to resonate at one or more harmonic frequencies generated by the antenna tuning switch such that a high impedance path is formed between the antenna tuning switch and the antenna tuning node at harmonic frequencies generated by the antenna tuning switch. Accordingly, harmonic interference generated by the antenna tuning switch is prevented from reaching the antenna, while simultaneously allowing for tuning of the antenna.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to envelope tracking with reduced circuit area and power consumption. In one embodiment, an envelope power converter includes a switching power converter configured to receive a supply voltage and provide an output based on a switching control signal. A holding inductor is coupled between the switching power converter and envelope power supply output node. An offset capacitor is coupled between the envelope power supply output node and control node. In response to a target envelope power supply output voltage, a control circuit is configured to generate the switching control signal and a control voltage to maintain envelope power supply signal at target voltage level. The control circuit is configured to generate switching control signal and control voltage such that supply voltage is provided by switching power converter to holding inductor and offset capacitor is charged to target level without changing voltage of envelope power supply signal.

Abstract: RF front end circuitry includes mid/high-band switching circuitry and a carrier-aggregation diplexer. The mid/high-band switching circuitry is configured to receive and selectively route mid-band and high-band signals between a mid/high-band output port and a number of mid/high-band transceiver ports. The carrier-aggregation diplexer is coupled to a first one of the mid/high-band transceiver ports. Further, the carrier-aggregation diplexer is configured to pass mid-band signals between a mid-band diplexer port and the first one of the mid/high-band transceiver ports while attenuating other signals, and pass high-band signals between a high-band diplexer port and the first one of the mid/high-band transceiver ports while attenuating other signals.

The front-end module also comprises at least one receiver to receive the transmit signals, wherein the at least one receiver receives at least a portion of unwanted transmit spectrum. A directional coupler couples at least a portion of a transmit output signal from the power amplifier to provide a coupled transmit output signal to signal conditioning circuitry associated with the at least one receiver and configured to condition the coupled transmit output signal to generate a conditioned transmit signal to provide to the at least one receiver, wherein the conditioned transmit signal at least partially cancels the unwanted transmit spectrum. The signal conditioning circuitry may adjust the amplitude and phase of the coupled transmit output signal.
