Abstract
Apparatus and methods for differential antenna interfacing for high frequency cellular communications, such as Frequency Range 3 (FR3) communications for cellular fifth generation (5G), are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a mobile device includes a front-end system and a differential antenna having a differential interface coupled to the front-end system. The front-end system provides the differential interface of the differential antenna with a differential transmit signal having a frequency of at least 7 gigahertz (GHz).
Claims20
A mobile device comprising:
- a front-end system configured to output a differential transmit signal having a frequency of at least 7 gigahertz;
- and
- a differential antenna having a differential interface configured to receive the differential transmit signal from the front-end system.
A method of antenna interfacing in a mobile device, the method comprising:
- outputting a differential transmit signal having a frequency of at least 7 gigahertz from a front-end system;
- and
- receiving the differential transmit signal from the front-end system at a differential interface of a differential antenna.
A front-end system for a mobile device, the front-end system comprising:
- a differential interface configured to couple to a differential antenna;
- and
- a differential transmit/receive switch configured to provide a differential transmit signal having a frequency of at least 7 gigahertz to the differential interface.
