Abstract

See full text

This disclosure relates to radio frequency (RF) front end circuitry used to route RF signals. In one embodiment, the RF front end circuitry has a filter circuit and a switch device. The switch device includes a common port, an RF port, and switchable path connected in series between the common port and the RF port. The switch device is configured to present approximately the filter capacitance of the filter circuit at the common port when the switchable path is closed. However, when the switchable path is open, the switch device is configured to present a device capacitance at the common port that is approximately equal to the filter capacitance of the filter circuit. In this manner, if the common port is connected to an antenna, the capacitance seen by the antenna from the common port remains substantially unchanged regardless of which of the switchable path is opened or closed.
