In an example, an apparatus includes first and second antennas and a switched extractor coupled to the first antenna. The switched extractor includes an extractor configured to extract an extraction frequency band, a bypass line, and switching circuitry. The switching circuitry is configured to selectively establish a bypass signal path including the bypass line or a concurrent signal path including the extractor. The apparatus also includes first and second transceiver units (TRXUs) and a processor. The first TRXU is coupled to the first antenna via the switched extractor. The second TRXU is coupled to the first antenna via the switched extractor and coupled to the second antenna. The processor is configured to cause the switching circuitry to selectively connect the first TRXU to the first antenna via the bypass or the concurrent signal path based on the extraction frequency band and an operational frequency band associated with the first TRXU.

Enhanced antenna utilization

Transmission-line filtering with enhanced frequency response is disclosed. In an example aspect, an apparatus includes a transmission-line filter to enhance a frequency response of a filtering operation. The transmission-line filter includes an input port, an output port, and multiple transmission-line base units. The multiple transmission-line base units are disposed between the input port and the output port and are coupled to the input port and the output port. Each of the multiple transmission-line base units includes a respective transmission line of multiple transmission lines. At least one transmission-line base unit of the multiple transmission-line base units includes a multi-resonant circuit.

Transmission-line filtering with enhanced frequency response

A filter and a method for forming a filter are disclosed. In an embodiment a filter includes a first port, a second port and a signal path between the first port and the second port. The filter further includes a plurality of series resonators electrically connected in series in the signal path, a plurality of shunt paths, each electrically connecting the signal path to ground and one parallel resonator electrically connected in each shunt path, wherein at least one series resonator is an electroacoustic resonator, and wherein at least one parallel resonator comprises one acoustically inactive capacitor or an electrical connection of an acoustically active resonator and a de-tuning coil.

Filter and method of designing an RF filter

A front end module has two signal paths for operation in two different frequency ranges which can be operated both with one antenna in the multiplex operating mode and with two antennas in a second operating mode. The respective operating mode is actuated via corresponding contact being made with the module substrate, and therefore by the user.

Front end module and method of operation in different circuit environments

An electrical component that includes a substrate that includes at least one electrical circuit is described herein. The electrical component also includes a heat sink in an aperture through the substrate.

Electrical component

A ceramic multilayer construction includes three resonators designed as parallel strip lines that are capacitatively or magnetically coupled to each other. All circuit components are implemented in the form of metallizations in multilayer construction. Capacitative couplings are implemented by coupling capacitors. The strip line resonators are shortened by shunt arms to ground having grounding capacitors arranged therein.
