Patent ID: 11177564

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to arrangements for antenna interfaces configurable to efficiently support different communication modes. This is achieved by an antenna connection circuit 10 for a communication device 1 wherein the antenna connection circuit 10 is configurable for communication modes. The antenna connection circuit comprises a first quarter-wave transformer qw1 coupled between an antenna port A and an transmitter port Tx, and a second quarter-wave transformer qw2 coupled between the antenna port A and a receiver port Rx. The antenna connection circuit further comprises a first ground switch s1 coupled between the receiver port Rx and a first ground connection g1, and a second ground switch s2 is coupled between the transmitter port Tx and a second ground connection g2. The antenna connection circuit further comprises a resistor R and a resistor switch s3 coupled in series between the receiver port Rx and the transmitter port Tx, and an inverting amplifier switch s4 coupled between the receiver port Rx and an input port I1 of an inverting amplifier Amp1, and an output port O1 of the inverting amplifier Amp1 is coupled to the transmitter port Tx.
