Abstract
A front end parallel resonant switch is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes an inductor and a capacitor configured to couple a first RF transmission to an antenna, and at least one switch configured to connect the inductor to the capacitor to form a matching network when transmitting the first RF transmission from the antenna, and to connect the inductor to capacitor to form a parallel resonant circuit when transmitting a second RF transmission from the antenna.
