Radio frequency remote head front-end circuitry systems and methods

A method of implementing radio frequency circuitry in an electronic device comprising:

• coupling a remote head to a logic board located in a first part of the electronic device, the logic board being configured to output a first analog electrical signal indicative of first data to be wirelessly transmitted over a first antenna through the remote head via a first electrical connector, wherein the remote head is remote from the logic board and located in a second part of the electronic device;
• coupling an antenna integrated circuit of the remote head to the logic board;
• receiving the first data from the first antenna at the antenna integrated circuit;
• amplifying the first analog electrical signal using an amplifier of the antenna integrated circuit to generate an amplified analog electrical signal indicative of the first data;
• and
• transmitting, along a wired connection, the amplified analog electrical signal from the remote head to external components comprising an external antenna external to the remote head.

An electronic device having a radio frequency system, the radio frequency system comprising:

• a logic board located in a first part of the electronic device and configured to output a first analog electrical signal indicative of first data to be wirelessly transmitted from the radio frequency system via a first electrical connector and to output a second analog electrical signal indicative of second data to be wirelessly transmitted from the radio frequency system via a second electrical connector;
