Communications module and front-end module included therein

A communications module, comprising:

• a front-end module comprising a common port configured to be connected to an antenna, a reception port configured to pass a reception signal, and a transmission port configured to pass a transmission signal;
• and
• a high frequency switch circuit connected to either one or both of the reception port and the transmission port, and configured to control signal routes for signals passing through the front-end module,
• wherein the front end module is configured to amplify communications signals of different communications standards in a time division multiplexing scheme, and
• wherein the high frequency switch circuit comprises a third switch configured to change a signal route to receive a reception signal of a final communications standard from a first switch, or to transfer a transmission signal of the first communications standard to a second switch.

A communications module comprising:

• a front-end module comprising
• a reception port configured to receive, from an antenna, reception signals of different communications standards, and to pass the reception signals to a high frequency switch circuit, and
• a transmission port configured to receive, from the high frequency switch circuit, transmission signals of the different communications standards, and to pass the transmission signals to the antenna,
• wherein the high frequency switch circuit is configured to control signal routes of the reception signals out of the front end module, and to control signal routes of the transmission signals into the front-end module,
• wherein the front-end module is configured to amplify the reception signals prior to passing the reception signals to the high frequency switch circuit, and to amplify the transmission signals after receiving the transmission signals from the high frequency switch circuit, and
• wherein one of the signal routes is between the high frequency switch circuit and an inner communications modem, and another of the signal routes is between the high frequency switch circuit and an externally connected pin.
