Abstract
Examples of the disclosure include a front-end module comprising at least one antenna connection configured to be coupled to at least one antenna, at least one transceiver connection configured to be coupled to at least one transceiver, a plurality of ganged signal paths coupled between the at least one antenna connection and the at least one transceiver connection, the plurality of ganged signal paths corresponding to a plurality of non-overlapping communication bands, and a plurality of switchable signal paths switchably coupled between the at least one antenna connection and the at least one transceiver connection.

A front-end module comprising:
- at least one antenna connection configured to be coupled to at least one antenna;
- at least one transceiver connection configured to be coupled to at least one transceiver;
- a plurality of ganged signal paths coupled between the at least one antenna connection and the at least one transceiver connection, the plurality of ganged signal paths corresponding to a plurality of non-overlapping communication bands;
- and
- a plurality of switchable signal paths switchably coupled between the at least one antenna connection and the at least one transceiver connection.
A communication device comprising:
- at least one antenna;
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- signal-processing circuitry including
- at least one antenna connection coupled to the at least one antenna,
- at least one transceiver connection coupled to the at least one transceiver, and
- a plurality of ganged signal paths coupled between the at least one antenna connection and the at least one transceiver connection, the plurality of ganged signal paths corresponding to a plurality of non-overlapping communication bands and being connected directly to the at least one antenna connection.
