Systems and methods are provided for a stacked die configuration of a high
isolation switch and a rejection filter where transmit and receive
signals are desired to have a high out-of-band rejection and a low loss
band-pass region. In some aspects of the invention the high isolation
switch is a double pole double throw switch modified to operate as a high
isolation single pole double throw (SPDT) switch. In some aspects of the
invention the high isolation switch is a conventional high isolation SPDT
switch. The switch is mounted on a low profile rejection filter having
metallization on a portion of an outer surface of the rejection filter.
The metallization on the outer surface of the rejection filter provides
an AC ground layer in close proximity to the switch that provides a short
coupling path between the switch and the AC ground. The resulting
switch-filter component also results in a smaller footprint than if the
two devices were mounted individually and/or adjacently. The
switch-filter component has applications in devices requiring high
isolation between transmit and receive paths, for example use within a
front-end module (FEM) of a single antenna, multi-radio device.
