Abstract:
An antenna system includes N integrated passive components (IPCs). A first end of each IPC of the N IPCs is directly configured to couple to an antenna for receiving signals of a band corresponding to the IPC and filtering signals of bands corresponding to other IPCs of the N IPCs. The antenna system can prevent signals of various bands from interfering with each other, reduces parasitic capacitance effect, and further improves nonlinear distortion.
