An electronic component includes: a first substrate having a first surface; a second substrate having a second surface facing the first surface across an air gap; a first coil pattern that is located on the first surface so as to face the second surface across the air gap; a second coil pattern that is located in a second region on the second surface and faces the first surface across the air gap, at least a part of the second region overlapping with a first region in plan view, the first region being formed of a region in which the first coil pattern is located and a region surrounded by the first coil pattern; and a connection terminal connecting the first coil pattern and the second coil pattern.

A multiplexer includes: a common filter, a first filter connected to the common terminal and having a passband including a reception band of a first communication band; a second filter connected to the common terminal and having a passband including a transmission band of the first communication band; a third filter connected to the common terminal and having a passband including a transmission band of a second communication band; and a fourth filter connected to the common terminal and having a passband including a reception band of the second communication band. The transmission band of the first communication band and the transmission band of the second communication band are located between the reception band of the first communication band and the reception band of the second communication band, and at least one of the first communication band or the second communication band is a 5G-NR communication band.

A multiplexer includes a common terminal connected to an inductance element at a connection path with an antenna element, filter elements including different pass bands and connected to the antenna element with the common terminal therebetween, and an inductance element arranged in series between a transmission filter with a largest capacitance when viewed from the antenna side among the filter elements and the common terminal. An inductive component of the inductance element and a capacitive component of the transmission filter element define an LC series resonant circuit, and a resonant frequency of the LC series resonant circuit is lower than any of pass bands of the filter elements.

A computing device (such as a computer gaming console) uses only a single radio to concurrently communicate with a wireless network access point and wireless client devices such as game controllers or peripherals. To establish and maintain both a high-throughput link with the access point, and a low-latency link with the client device(s), the single Wi-Fi radio of the computing device is configured to periodically switch between a channel used for the high-throughput link and a different channel that is used for the low-latency link-thus implementing a combination of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM). The console may use aspects of the Wi-Fi protocol standard to ensure that periodically switching its single radio between the two channels is accomplished while maintaining reliable communication on both channels.

A frequency-selective system that may be used as, or as part of, an add/drop multiplexer. An input signal is fed to a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configured to drop, or suppress, by destructive interference, a signal component in a first frequency band from among a plurality of frequency bands. One or more bandpass filters in one arm of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer suppress other frequencies, outside of the first frequency band, so that signals at these other frequencies are not suppressed by destructive interference and are present at the output of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A coupler connected after the output of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer adds, into the signal path, a replacement for the dropped signal.

A filter circuit includes a first switch circuit that exclusively connects a first common terminal to either of a first selection terminal and a second selection terminal; a first signal terminal that is connected to the first selection terminal and that is for communicating a first communication signal belonging to a first frequency range, which is a frequency range of a first communication band; a second signal terminal that is connected to the second selection terminal and that is for communicating a second communication signal belonging to a second frequency range, which is the frequency range of a second communication band and which is at least partially overlapped with the first frequency range; and a first band pass filter one end of which is connected to the first common terminal and which uses both the first frequency range and the second frequency range as pass bands.

A radio-frequency front-end architecture can include a quadplexer configured to support uplink carrier aggregation with a first antenna. The quadplexer can include a low-band filter, a mid-band filter, a first high-band filter, and a second high-band filter, with each filter having a respective input node, and the quadplexer including a common output node associated with the first antenna.
