  • Patent number: 11855678
    Abstract: Amplification of received signals in the first and second frequency bands is activated in the absence of a transmission signal in the circuit arrangement in both the first frequency band and the second frequency band. In response to a detection of a transmission signal in the circuit arrangement, the detected transmission signal is checked as to whether the detected transmission signal can be unambiguously assigned to the first frequency band or the second frequency band. If the check reveals that the detected transmission signal cannot be unambiguously assigned to the first frequency band or the second frequency band, a first transmission amplifier path for amplifying the transmission signal in the first frequency band and a first receiving amplifier path for amplifying received signals in the first frequency band are activated.

  • Patent number: 11646755
    Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for amplifying radio signals between a terminal and an antenna or an antenna connection of a circuit having an amplification unit and a detector unit, which has signal branches designed for different frequency ranges, and a power detector. A transmission signal received by the terminal is divided into at least a first signal part and a second signal part. The first signal part is applied to the signal branches of the detector unit. A frequency range of the first signal part is determined by sequential application of the signal branches of the detector unit to the power detector for evaluating a power of the first signal part. For the second signal part, the signal routing in the amplification unit is adjusted based on the frequency range determined by the detector unit. At least the second signal part is amplified by the amplification unit.

  • Patent number: 11431374
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for amplifying radio signals between a terminal device and an antenna and to a corresponding circuit arrangement is disclosed. The circuit arrangement has a transmission amplifier path and a reception amplifier path. A signal power in a first frequency range in the transmitting direction is detected to determine a transmitted signal power and a signal power in a second frequency range in the receiving direction is detected to determine a received signal power. The detected transmitted signal power can be compared with the detected received signal power. If the detected transmitted signal power is stronger than the detected received signal power, the transmission amplifier path can amplify transmitted signals in the first frequency range. If the detected received signal power is stronger than the detected transmitted signal power, the reception amplifier path can amplify received signals in the second frequency range.
