  • Publication number: 20260113063
    Abstract: A radio frequency circuit includes first and second filters for first and second time division duplex (TDD) bands. Third and fourth filters cover third and fourth bands. A switch including a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal to connect these filter to an antenna. The first terminal is connected to only the first filter and the second terminal is connected to only the second filter, among the filters having acoustic wave filters. The third terminal connects to both the third filter and the fourth filter. This configuration enables simultaneous transfer of a transmission signal of the first band and a reception signal of the second band, as well as simultaneous transfer of signals of the third and fourth bands. By isolating the TDD filters on separate terminals, signal quality and isolation are improved during simultaneous operation.
