Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a band-pass filter of a radio frequency front end (RFFE) of a user equipment (UE) receives an analog radio frequency (RF) signal having a first bandwidth associated with a first sampling rate, the analog RF signal comprising a positioning reference signal (PRS). An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the UE samples the analog RF signal at a second sampling rate to generate a digital RF signal representing the analog RF signal, wherein the ADC operates at a second bandwidth lower than the first bandwidth, and wherein the second sampling rate is lower than the first sampling rate by an inverse of a folding factor for the first bandwidth. The digital RF signal is then output to a baseband processor of the UE.

A first rejection-band series resonator can be coupled in series between an input port of the BAW resonator pass-band filter ladder and the input node, the first rejection-band series resonator can have a first anti-resonant frequency peak in a rejection-band of frequencies that is less than the pass-band of frequencies. A second rejection-band series resonator can be coupled in series between an output port of the BAW resonator filter and the output node, the second rejection-band series resonator can have a second anti-resonant frequency peak in the rejection-band of frequencies.

A filter circuit includes a first filter and a second filter. The first filter is a filter including an LC circuit in which a first frequency band is a pass band and a frequency band not higher than the first frequency band is an attenuation band.

Further, the first filter is placed closer to an antenna terminal than the second filter.

A method of constructing an RF filter comprises designing an RF filter that includes a plurality of resonant elements disposed, a plurality of non-resonant elements coupling the resonant elements together to form a stop band having a plurality of transmission zeroes corresponding to respective frequencies of the resonant elements, and a sub-band between the transmission zeroes. The non-resonant elements comprise a variable non-resonant element for selectively introducing a reflection zero within the stop band to create a pass band in the sub-band. The method further comprises changing the order in which the resonant elements are disposed along the signal transmission path to create a plurality of filter solutions, computing a performance parameter for each of the filter solutions, comparing the performance parameters to each other, selecting one of the filter solutions based on the comparison of the computed performance parameters, and constructing the RF filter using the selected filter solution.
