摘要:
Systems and methods combine a test signal with a wanted (downlink or uplink) signal at an input of a duplexer of a communication device, and receive the test signal at an output of the duplexer. The test signal may include a radio frequency signal having less power than the wanted signal to avoid interference, or a digital signal that is added to or extracted from the wanted signal when the wanted signal does not have a radio frequency. A processor of the communication device causes the duplexer to operate in a tuning state (e.g., to transmit signals having a transmission frequency and receive signals having a receive frequency). The measurement system determines a difference or ratio in power between the test signal at the duplexer output and the duplexer input, and adjusts the tuning state based on the difference or ratio (e.g., to decrease or minimize the difference or ratio).

An apparatus includes an impedance matching network, a first switch circuit, and a second switch circuit. The impedance matching network generally comprises a first port, a second port, and a third port. The first switch circuit may be coupled between the first port and a circuit ground potential. The second switch circuit may be coupled between the second port and the circuit ground potential. The impedance matching network generally provides a first impedance value for the first port and for the third port when the second port is connected to the circuit ground potential. The impedance matching network generally provides a second impedance value for the second port and for the third port when the first port is connected to the circuit ground potential. The first impedance value and the second impedance value are asymmetrical.

A bi-directional coupler architecture that allows an entire radio frequency coupler to be fully integrated with other circuitry on a single IC substrate. Embodiments of the invention use a lumped component architecture instead of quarter-wave transmission lines to reduce area and limit loss on the primary signal line. In some embodiments, two directional couplers of opposite polarities are implemented at least in part using spiral secondary inductors electromagnetically coupled to a shared primary inductor signal line, thus providing a bi-directional coupler architecture.

A duplexer includes a branch circuit connected to an antenna and arranged to branch to a receiving side and a transmitting side, a receiving-side LC parallel resonant-type filter connected to the receiving-side of the branch circuit and arranged to cause a reception signal to be passed and a transmission signal to be attenuated, a surface acoustic wave filter connected to the receiving-side LC parallel resonant-type filter defining a subsequent stage of the receiving-side LC parallel resonant-type filter and arranged to cause the reception signal to be passed and the neighborhood of the high-frequency side of the reception signal to be attenuated, and a transmitting-side LC parallel resonant-type filter connected to the transmitting-side of the branch circuit and arranged to cause the transmission signal to be passed and the reception signal to be attenuated.
