Abstract:
A multiport RF switch assembly with integrated impedance tuning capability is described that provides a single RFIC solution to switch between transmit and receive paths in a communication system. Dynamic tuning is integrated into each switch sub-assembly to provide the capability to impedance match antennas or other components connected to the multiport switch. The tuning function at the switch can be used to shape the antenna response to provide better filtering at the switch/RF front-end (RFFE) interface to allow for reduced filtering requirements in the RFFE. Memory is designed into the multiport switch assembly, allowing for a look-up table or other data to reside with the switch and tuning circuit. The resident memory will result in easier integration of the tunable switch assembly into communication systems.

Claim (Index 12):
An integrated circuit for use in a radio frequency communication system, comprising:\n a first multiport switch configured to selectively couple a first antenna with at least one of a plurality of paths associated with a first band in a front end module a second multiport switch configured to selectively couple a second antenna with at least one of a plurality of paths associated with a second band in a front end module, the second band being different from the first band; a first tunable component coupled to the first multiport switch, the first tunable component configured to vary an impedance associated with the first multiport switch; a second tunable component coupled to the second multiport switch, the second tunable component configured to vary an impedance associated with the second multiport switch; memory storing switch state data for the first multiport switch and the second multiport switch and tuning state data for the first tunable component and the second tunable component.
