Patent attributes
The disclosed invention relates to a transceiver system having a bypass signal path that enables low power consumption. The transceiver system has a plurality of signal paths respectively having a filtering element with a stop band and with a pass band. An antenna switching module (ASM) has a plurality of RF ports and a plurality of switching elements. Respective RF ports are connected to a separate one of the plurality of switching elements that selectively connect the RF port to an antenna port of the ASM. A control unit generates control signals that operate the plurality of switching elements to selectively connect the plurality of signal paths to the antenna port. A filtering response at the antenna port is equal to a combination of the filtering responses of filtering elements within the connected signal paths.
