Benefits of technology

[0008]According to second aspect of the present disclosure, a method for reducing loss of a transmit RF signal in a duplexer unit of an radio frequency (RF) transmit/receive system, the method comprising: providing an RF transmit path comprising a plurality of cascaded amplifiers; inserting, in-between two amplifiers of the plurality of cascaded amplifiers, a first filter; based on the inserting, attenuating a receive frequency band and passi

Problems solved by technology

Radio frequency (RF) devices, such as cell phone transmitters, are becoming increasingly complex due to additional frequency bands, more complex modulation schemes, higher modulation bandwidths, and the introduction of data throughput improvement schemes such as simultaneous RF transmission and/or reception within a same or different, but closely spaced, bands or channels within a band (e.g. voice, data), and aggregate

Embodiment Construction

[0014]Throughout this description, embodiments and variations are described for the purpose of illustrating uses and implementations of the inventive concept. The illustrative description should be understood as presenting examples of the inventive concept, rather than as limiting the scope of the concept as disclosed herein.

[0015]The present disclosure describes electrical circuits in electronics devices (e.g., cell phones, radios) having a plurality of devices, such as for example, transistors (e.g., MOSFETs). Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that such electrical circuits comprising transistors can be arranged as amplifiers. As described in a previous disclosure (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 797,779, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), a plurality of such amplifiers can be arranged in a so-called “scalable periphery” (SP) architecture of amplifiers where a total number (e.g., 64) of amplifier segments are provided. Depending on the specific requirem...
