In an RF front-end having a plurality of signal paths connectable to an
internal antenna or an external antenna, an antenna switch part is used
to select either the internal or the external antenna. In the antenna
switch part, two series switches are used to operatively connect to the
same connection point in each signal path. These two series switches are
separately connected to two different antennas for selecting one of the
antennas in order to route the signals in that signal path. For providing
further isolation between signal paths, each signal path can be connected
to a shunt switch near the connection point. Only the shunt switch
connected to the selected signal path is operated in an open position,
all the other shunt switches are operated in a closed position.
