A method and apparatus for coupling one or more transceivers to a plurality of antennas

A wireless communication device (200 fig.2) and radio frequency front end circuit 312 for coupling signals in support of multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) and carrier aggregation (CA) for multiple frequency bands of operation between one or more transceivers (2081-N fig.2) and a plurality of antennas 3101-4. Each antenna 3101-4 is associated with a respective signal from each of a first frequency band of operation and a second frequency band of operation from the one or more transceivers (2081-N fig.2). The radio frequency front end circuit 312 comprises a multi-close front end switch 320, 340, 360, 380 associated with one of the antennas 3101-4, where separate terminals of the multi-close front end switch 320, 340, 360, 380 are each respectively associated with the respective signal from each of the first frequency band of operation and the second frequency band of operation corresponding to the associated antenna 3101-4 from the one or more transceivers (2081-N fig.2). The separate terminals of the multi-close front end switch 320, 340, 360, 380 can be simultaneously coupled to a port coupled to the associated antenna 3101-4 via multiple throws within the multi-close front end switch 320, 340, 360, 380.
