Abstract

See full text

Multiplexing circuitry is disclosed that includes filtering circuitry, which provides a first transfer function between a common port and a first port and a second transfer function between the common port and a second port. The first transfer function and second transfer function provide a first passband and a second passband, respectively. The first transfer function also has a stopband provided within the second passband of the second transfer function due to the filtering circuitry including a first parallel resonant circuit provided in series in a first filter path being weakly coupled to a second parallel resonant provided in shunt with respect to a second filter path. The weak coupling between the first parallel resonant circuit and the second parallel resonant circuit thus naturally provides a stopband in the first transfer function within the second passband of the second transfer function.
