Various embodiments are described herein that improve the signal reception and transmission capabilities of an access point by coupling an active antenna assembly to the access point. An active antenna assembly includes an antenna and at least one active component, such as a low-noise amplifier or a power amplifier. The active component can be connected to an antenna circuit board rather than the main circuit board of the access point, which is typically retained within an access point housing. By positioning the active component near the antenna, the active antenna assembly prevents degradation of signals received by the antenna. One or more coaxial cables can be used to connect the active component of the active antenna assembly to the main circuit board of the access point.

An apparatus comprises a first RF port, a second RF port, a first resonator circuit and at least one second resonator circuit. The first resonator circuit and the second resonator circuit may be connected between the first RF port and the second RF port. The first resonator circuit may comprise a first inductor, a first capacitor, and a first stacked switch device. The second resonator circuit may comprise a second inductor, a second capacitor, and a second stacked switch device. The first capacitor and the first stacked switch device may be coupled in series across the first inductor. The second capacitor, the second inductor, and the second stacked switch device may be connected in parallel.

An apparatus comprises a first series switch, a second series switch, a first shunt switch, a second shunt switch, a first DC blocking capacitor, and a second DC blocking capacitor. The first series switch may be coupled between a first RF port and a second RF port. The first shunt switch may be coupled between the first RF port and a first half supply voltage tab. The second series switch may be coupled between the second RF port and a third RF port. The second shunt switch may be coupled between the third RF port and a second half supply voltage tab. The first DC blocking capacitor may be coupled between the first half voltage tab and a circuit ground potential. The second DC blocking capacitor may be coupled between the second half supply voltage tab and the circuit ground potential.
