Abstract
A front end radio frequency (RF) module including one or more first filter circuits configured to implement a front end function by filtering first signals communicated between one or more first antenna and a transceiver and one or more second filter circuits configured to implement at least a portion of an additional network function within the front end RF module by filtering second signals communicated between one or more second antennas and the transceiver.
Claims20
A radio frequency (RF) module comprising:
- one or more first filter circuits of a bandwidth and one or more first amplifier circuits configured to implement a first function in a first geographic region by filtering and then amplifying or amplifying and then filtering a first signal communicated between one or more first antennas and a transceiver;
- and
- one or more second filter circuits of the bandwidth and one or more second amplifier circuits configured to implement a second function in a second geographic region by filtering and then amplifying or amplifying and then filtering a second signal communicated between one or more second antennas and the transceiver;
- wherein the one or more first filter circuits and the one or more second filter circuits are integrated on a single integrated filter circuit die and the RF module is configured to repurpose the one or more first filter circuits to implement an additional network function responsive to a signal, the signal generated responsive to a determination to operate the RF module for the second geographic region.
