The invention relates to an arrangement and method for reducing losses at
the transmitting end of a radio apparatus, especially one that operates
in more than one system. An interfering transmitter is provided with two
antenna filters one of which is a low-pass-type filter and the other a
band-pass filter. The filter (BPF) with a higher stop-band attenuation is
used only when the receiver (330, LNA) susceptible to interference is in
receive state. At other times, the filter (LPF) with a lower stop-band
attenuation and, hence, a lower pass-band attenuation, is used as the
transmitting-end filter. Advantageously the selection between the
different filters is realized using MEMS-type switches (SW31 to SW34).
The invention minimizes the mean current consumption of the
radio-frequency power amplifier (PA) of the said radio apparatus. The
space required by and the production costs of the arrangement according
to the invention are relatively small.
