Abstract: Embodiments provide a method and apparatus for performing time division duplex communication, such as may be performed over a wireless communications network. In the embodiments a first circuit pathway is used to transmit a first radio frequency signal in a transmission mode and a second circuit pathway is used to receive a second radio frequency signal in a reception mode. In the reception mode, the first radio frequency signal is switched to an alternate circuit pathway. This may be performed by a radio frequency integrated circuit or by other control circuitry. Switching to an alternate circuit pathway reduces leakage of the first radio frequency signal into the second radio frequency signal.

Abstract: A reconfigurable radio frequency circuit is arranged for receiving at least one carrier in a wireless communications terminal arranged to receive at least two carriers, each of the two carriers being transmitted in a different one of a plurality of operating frequency bands, and each of the plurality of operating frequency bands occupying a part of a first or a second frequency range. The circuit includes a combiner for connecting the output of a first receiver filter at a first operating frequency band within the first frequency range to the input of an amplifier and for connecting the output of a second receiver filter at a second operating frequency band within the second frequency range to the input of the amplifier. The amplifier has a selectable operating frequency range, the operating frequency range being selectable at least between the first frequency range and the second frequency range.

Abstract: A mechanism for providing tuning values to an RF radio module that, does not have memory for storing tuning values. Tuning values are requested from a server maintaining tuning values. The request is made by a device including the RF radio module for which the tuning values are requested. Requested tuning values are then received in accordance with the request. The received tuning values are stored in to a memory of the device including the RF radio module and applied to the RF radio module.

Abstract: A receiver 650 operates in close proximity to at least one other component 610, 611, 612 causing interferences in signals received by the receiver 650. It is determined (steps 2002; 2003) whether and at which frequency a higher harmonic of and/or an inter-modulation product with signals generated by the other component 610 causes interference in signals received by the receiver 650, based on information about signals generated by the other component 610, 611, 612. At least one characteristic of the receiver 650 is adjusted to diminish an influence by a determined interference.

Abstract: A reconfigurable radio frequency circuit is configurable to a first mode when first and second radio frequency signals are within a first frequency band, and to a second mode for use when the first but not the second signal is in the first band. A first signal divider operating in the first band provides a first signal division ratio in the first mode and a second ratio in the second mode. In the first mode, a first output of the signal divider is connected by a first switch to a first receiver and the second output is connected by a second switch to a second receiver. In the second mode, the first output is connected by the first switch to the first receiver and a second divider operating in a second band is connected by the second switch to the second receiver.

The receiver includes first control logic configured to generate a notification of the receiver being able to receive a reception frequency band and includes a transmitter coupled to the at least one second antenna and the receiver. The transmitter communicates radio frequency (RF) signals in a transmission frequency band over an RF transmit path to the at least one second antenna. The transmitter includes a tunable filter coupleable to the RF transmit path, and second control logic configured to adjust at least one characteristic of the tunable filter based at least in part on the notification. The adjustment is performed to reduce, when the tunable filter is coupled to the RF transmit path, interference caused by transmission in the transmission frequency band with reception in the reception frequency band.
