Abstract
A method for an antenna architecture that handles US band cellular and broadcast channels may be provided. The method may comprise a multi-network mobile device comprising one or more antennas. The method may further comprise receiving via one or more antennas, and processing at a first radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC), cellular signals in a 1900 MHz band. The method may further comprise receiving via one or more antennas, and processing at a second RFIC, cellular signals in a 850 MHz band and receiving via one or more antennas, and processing at a third RFIC digital broadcast signals in a UHF broadcast band.
