Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A transceiver comprising:
a power amplifier module including a plurality of power amplifiers; and
a multiplexer in communication with the power amplifier module, the multiplexer including a filter bank, a load circuit bank, a second load circuit bank connected to the filter bank, a switch, and a bypass circuit, the filter bank including a set of filters, at least one filter of the set of filters configured to transmit a signal of a first frequency band and at least one other filter of the set of filters configured to transmit a signal of a second frequency band that differs from the first frequency band, the load circuit bank including a plurality of load circuits configured to reduce insertion loss in the multiplexer, the second load circuit bank including a second plurality of load circuits, the bypass circuit configured to connect an input port of the multiplexer to an output port of the multiplexer when a control signal received from a baseband processor indicates the multiplexer is to operate in a non-carrier aggregation mode and an input signal is associated with the first frequency band, the switch configured to selectively connect a filter from the filter bank to a load circuit from the second load circuit bank, and the bypass circuit further configured to connect the input port of the multiplexer to a load circuit of the plurality of load circuits when the control signal indicates the multiplexer is to operate in a carrier aggregation mode.
