Original Abstract Submitted

Front-end systems with antenna switching that bypasses a transmit band filter are disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, a front-end architecture is based on switching the RF transmit signal behind or before the bandpass filter of the band. This enables the switch-combining and filter ganging used to support carrier aggregation and EN-DC connectivity to be maintained, and the SRS switching done this way for a target TDD band does not impact, interrupt, and/or otherwise re-route the partner bands. Accordingly, both an anchor carrier and a secondary carrier can be maintained without interruption or impact. Furthermore, carrier aggregation features can be maintained and is not interrupted by SRS.
