Abstract
Described herein are systems configured for inter-band carrier aggregation. Systems include a multiplexing circuit having a switching network and diplexers wherein the switching network is configured to share inductors between multiple paths of the multiplexing circuit. The filters can be designed so that when operated simultaneously (e.g., during multi-band operation) the same inductance can be used allowing the switching network to switch in a particular inductance into the path. The described systems can include an inductance that is coupled to an output port so that when operating in single-band mode, the different paths share the same inductance. Relative to other solutions, the described systems can improve performance (e.g., reduce insertion loss), reduce the number of components in the associated module, reduce manufacturing costs, and the like.
