This abstract first appeared for US patent application 19017242 titled 'DEVICES AND METHODS RELATED TO INTEGRATED FRONT-END ARCHITECTURE MODULES FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION

Original Abstract Submitted

Circuitry, modules and devices for integrating front-end carrier aggregation architecture, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a front-end architecture includes a switching assembly configured to provide switching for two or more frequency bands. In some embodiments, the switching assembly includes at least one coupler configured to couple a signal associated with the switching assembly. The front-end architecture can also include a diplexer circuit including a first filter configured to pass a first frequency band, a second filter configured to pass a second frequency band, and a first electrostatic discharge network configured to dissipate electrostatic energy associated with the first and second frequency bands from the front-end architecture.
