Solution Overview
Problem
High frequency circuits face challenges in maintaining high isolation while simultaneously transmitting signals across multiple bands, leading to increased size and complexity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If signals of multiple bands are transmitted simultaneously with high isolation, then communication reliability is improved, but the circuit size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple filter functions into a single diplexer structure. The diplexer integrates first and second filters that handle different frequency bands, allowing simultaneous transmission with high isolation while occupying less space than separate filter circuits would require. This merging of functions directly addresses the contradiction by achieving high isolation without proportionally increasing circuit area.
Solution Approach 2:
The diplexer is designed to handle multiple frequency bands (first band and second band) simultaneously through a single circuit structure. By making the filter circuit universal across multiple bands, the patent avoids needing separate dedicated circuits for each band, thereby maintaining high isolation between bands while keeping the overall circuit size compact.
2Area of stationary object
If a compact circuit configuration is used, then circuit size is reduced, but achieving high isolation between multiple bands becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The diplexer circuit is segmented into distinct filter paths (first filter for first band, second filter for second band) that are integrated within a compact structure. This segmentation allows each band to be handled independently with proper isolation, while the overall segmented structure is arranged to minimize total circuit area. The switch circuit also segments the connection paths to prevent unwanted coupling between bands.
Solution Approach 2:
The diplexer acts as an intermediary structure between the power amplifier circuits and the antenna terminals. It mediates the signal paths for different bands, providing isolation between bands while maintaining a compact footprint. The switch circuit also serves as an intermediary that controls connection states to ensure isolation is maintained without requiring large physical separation between circuit elements.

AI summary
A high frequency circuit includes power amplifiers, filters including a band A in their pass bands, filters including a band B in their pass bands, and a switch circuit that switches the connection between an antenna terminal and two terminals and switches the connection between another antenna terminal and two other terminals. The output end of one power amplifier is connected to the input ends of two of the filters, the output end of one filter is connected to one of the terminals, the output end of another filter is connected to another terminal, the output end of the other power amplifier is connected to the input ends of two others of the filters, the output end of one of the other filters is connected to one of the other terminals, and the output end of another of the other filters is connected to another of the other terminals.
