  • Radio-frequency front end with power amplifier detuning to reduce output degradation
    Patent number: 10581478
    Abstract: Radio-frequency front-end circuitry includes an output terminal, a receive amplifier controllably coupled to the output terminal, at least one transmit amplifier controllably inductively coupled to the output terminal, and at least one impedance element controllably coupled between ground and one of the at least one transmit amplifier to reduce degradation of output of the radio-frequency front-end circuitry when the at least one transmit amplifier is not in use. In differential signaling, there is an impedance element between ground and each pole of the differential signal. A second transmit amplifier may generate second transmit signals and harmonics of the second transmit signals, and the second transmit amplifier may be switchably connected to the output of a first transmit amplifier so that output of the second transmit amplifier is filtered by the one of the first transmit amplifier. The transmit amplifiers may include a WiFi power amplifier and a BLUETOOTH® power amplifier.
