Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure relate to reducing insertion loss associated with a bypass path. In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a first switch having at least two throws, a second switch having at least two throws, a bypass path between the first switch and the second switch, and at least one inductor. The at least one inductor is configured to compensate for capacitance associated with the bypass path to cause insertion loss of the bypass path to be reduced.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- a first switch having at least two throws;
- a second switch having and at least two throws;
- a bypass path electrically connecting the first switch and the second switch;
- and
- at least one inductor configured to compensate for a capacitance associated with the bypass path to cause insertion loss of the bypass path to be reduced.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first switch having at least two throws;
- a second switch having at least two throws;
- a radio frequency signal path electrically coupled between the first switch and the second switch, the radio frequency signal path configured to process a radio frequency signal;
- a bypass path electrically coupled between the first switch and the second switch;
- and
- an inductor configured to compensate for an off state capacitance of the first switch to cause insertion loss associated with the bypass path to be reduced.
An electronically-implemented method of reducing insertion loss associated with a bypass path, the method comprising:
- operating a diversity module in a bypass mode such that an input of the diversity module is coupled to an output of the diversity module by way of a bypass path that electrically connects a first switch having at least two throws with a second switch having at least two throws;
- and
- while operating the diversity module in the bypass mode, substantially canceling capacitance associated with the bypass path to cause insertion loss associated with the bypass mode to be reduced.
