Patent ID: 8457574

Claim:
A tuner front-end circuit for processing a radio frequency (RF) signal, the tuner front-end circuit comprising: a first filter block that receives the RF signal, terminates one or more unwanted frequency bands from the RF signal, and outputs an unterminated signal; a second filter block that receives the unterminated signal, provides selectivity by filtering the unterminated signal into a plurality of separate signals, each of the plurality of separate signals being of a different desired frequency band, and outputs the plurality of separate signals; and an amplifier block that amplifies each of the plurality of separate signals and outputs each amplified separate signal, wherein the second filter block includes a sis;nal bypass configured to receive the unterminated signal from the first filter block and output the received unterminated signal to the amplifier block such that the received unterminated signal bypasses the filtering of the second filter block.
