UPLINK CARRIER AGGREGATION ARCHITECTURE
First Claim
1. An uplink (UL) carrier aggregation (CA) architecture comprising:
- a first antenna port and a second antenna port;
a first radio-frequency (RF) circuit configured to route a first transmit (TX) signal and a first receive (RX) signal to and from the first antenna port, respectively, the first RF circuit further configured to route a second RX signal from the first antenna port; and
a second RF circuit configured to route a second TX signal to the second antenna port to provide UL CA capability between the first and second TX signals.

Abstract
Uplink carrier aggregation architecture. In some embodiments, an uplink (UL) carrier aggregation (CA) architecture may include a first antenna port and a second antenna port. The UL CA architecture may also include a first radio-frequency (RF) circuit configured to route a first transmit (TX) signal and a first receive (RX) signal to and from the first antenna port, respectively, the first RF circuit further configured to route a second RX signal from the first antenna port. The UL CA architecture may further include a second RF circuit configured to route a second TX signal to the second antenna port to provide UL CA capability between the first and second TX signals.
