This disclosure relates to radio frequency (RF) front end circuitry used to route RF signals. In one embodiment, the RF front end circuitry has a filter circuit and a switch device. The switch device includes a common port, an RF port, and switchable path connected in series between the common port and the RF port. The switch device is configured to present approximately the filter capacitance of the filter circuit at the common port when the switchable path is closed. However, when the switchable path is open, the switch device is configured to present a device capacitance at the common port that is approximately equal to the filter capacitance of the filter circuit. In this manner, if the common port is connected to an antenna, the capacitance seen by the antenna from the common port remains substantially unchanged regardless of which of the switchable path is opened or closed.

A front-end module configured to cancel unwanted transmit spectrum at one or more receivers comprises at least one transmitter having a power amplifier and configured to transmit signals to an antenna. 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.

RF duplexing and methods of operating the same are described herein. In one embodiment, an RF duplexing system may include a control circuit and a duplexer with a first tunable RF filter and second tunable RF filter. The control circuit is operable in a full duplexing transmission mode and a half duplexing transmission mode. The control circuit tunes the first tunable RF filter in the full duplexing transmission mode so that the first tunable RF filter defines a transmission passband and tune the second tunable RF filter so that the second tunable RF filter defines a receive passband. Also, the control circuit tunes one of the tunable RF filters so that the tunable RF filter defines the passband while the other tunable RF filter enhances the passband. In this manner, the tunable RF filters in the duplexer are both utilized to get better performance during the half duplexing mode.

Antenna array calibration for wireless charging is disclosed. A wireless charging system is provided and configured to calibrate antenna elements in a wireless charging station based on a feedback signal provided by a wireless charging device. The antenna elements in the wireless charging station transmit wireless radio frequency (RF) charging signals to the wireless charging device. The wireless charging device provides the feedback signal to the wireless charging station to indicate total RF power in the wireless RF charging signals. The wireless charging station is configured to adjust transmitter phases associated with the antenna elements based on the feedback signal until the total RF power in the wireless RF charging signals is maximized. By calibrating the antenna elements based on the feedback signal, it is possible to achieve phase coherency among the antenna elements without requiring factory calibration.

The parallel amplifier regulates a power supply output voltage based on a power supply control signal and provides a current sense signal, which is representative of a parallel amplifier output current from the parallel amplifier. The switching supply is coupled to the parallel amplifier. The switching supply provides a switching output voltage and makes an early determination of the switching output voltage using the current sense signal and the power supply control signal to at least partially compensate for delay in the switching supply. Additionally, the switching supply drives the parallel amplifier output current toward zero using the switching output voltage to increase efficiency.
