RADIO ARCHITECTURE FOR SWITCHING AMONG TRANSMISSION PATHS

Abstract

A system for signal processing includes a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) having a plurality of available transmission paths, the RFIC configured to have at least a first communication signal on a first transmission path of the available transmission paths, a plurality of power amplifier/low noise amplifier (PA/LNA) modules selectively connected to the RFIC, each of the PA/LNA modules configured to connect to at least one respective antenna, and switch logic configured to connect the at least first communication signal to any of the plurality of PA/LNA modules prior to power amplification, while preventing the first communication signal from affecting or being affected by another communication signal on another of the plurality of available transmission paths.
