  • Patent number: 11336309
    Abstract: A front-end module includes: a first front-end circuit that transmits signals in a first band in a CA mode; and a second front-end circuit that transmits signals in a second band in the CA mode. The second front-end circuit includes a second quadplexer for the first and second bands. The first front-end circuit includes: a first quadplexer for the first and second bands; and an impedance variable circuit that is connected to a transmission terminal that is included in the first quadplexer and corresponds to the second band. In the CA mode, the impedance variable circuit serves as a reflection circuit that causes reflection of transmission waves in the second band. In a non-CA mode, the impedance variable circuit serves as a matching circuit that transmits or absorbs transmission waves in the second band.

  • Patent number: 11276521
    Abstract: An electronic component includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers, a circuit pattern, and band-shaped conductor patterns. The circuit pattern includes a conductor pattern that is disposed inside the multilayer body and defines an inductor. The band-shaped conductor patterns are grounded and cover a portion of a shield surface. An internal surface is located between the circuit pattern and an upper surface. On a shield surface, a non-shielded area is provided which is not covered with any of the band-shaped conductor patterns, and through which magnetic flux generated from the inductor is able to pass.

  • Patent number: 10979096
    Abstract: A high-frequency front-end circuit includes a diplexer, a duplexer, and a low-band-side multiple reflection prevention unit. The diplexer includes an antenna connection terminal, a low-band-side terminal, and a high-band-side terminal, and separates a low-band communication signal and a high-band communication signal. The duplexer separates a transmission signal and a reception signal of the low-band communication signal. The multiple reflection prevention unit is disposed between the low-band-side terminal and the duplexer and reduces or prevents multiple reflections of a leakage signal of the high-band communication signal which leaks to the low band side.

  • Patent number: 10886951
    Abstract: A front-end module that uses a carrier aggregation scheme in which Band, which is selected from a low-frequency band group, and Band, which is selected from a high-frequency band group, are used simultaneously for communication includes a plurality of signal paths that connect a power amplifier module to an antenna element, and an antenna switch module that switches connection between the antenna element and the plurality of signal paths. Harmonics of Band have frequencies that are included in Band. The front-end module further includes a switch element disposed in a TDD transmission path.

  • Publication number: 20200302314
    Abstract: A model generation system is a system for supporting the design of a transmitter circuit including a power amplifier. The model generation system includes an acquisition unit and a model generation unit. The acquisition unit acquires amplification performance data relating to performance of the transmitter circuit. The model generation unit generates an inference model on the basis of input data and output data using machine learning in which at least the amplification performance data is the input data and a characteristic value of the transmitter circuit is the output data.
