Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a transceiver system having a bypass signal path that enables low power consumption. The transceiver system has a plurality of signal paths respectively having a filtering element with a stop band and with a pass band. An antenna switching module (ASM) has a plurality of RF ports and a plurality of switching elements. Respective RF ports are connected to a separate one of the plurality of switching elements that selectively connect the RF port to an antenna port of the ASM. A control unit generates control signals that operate the plurality of switching elements to selectively connect the plurality of signal paths to the antenna port. A filtering response at the antenna port is equal to a combination of the filtering responses of filtering elements within the connected signal paths.

Abstract: A filter stage for use in a receiver includes a switch with an input coupled to an antenna terminal, a first output and a second output; a first filter of a first type coupled to the first output; and a second filter of a second type different from the first type, coupled to the second output. A receiver includes a filter stage as mentioned above; and a switching unit coupled to the filter stage for controlling a switching state of the switch, to selectively connect the antenna terminal to the second output, depending on a selection signal.

Abstract: An automatic fuse architecture is described. An incoming signal is received and detected to determine whether the signal exceeds a threshold value.
