Abstract

In an illustrative example, an apparatus includes a passive-on-glass (POG) device integrated within a glass substrate. The apparatus further includes a semiconductor die integrated within the glass substrate.

Claims (26)

1. A method of operation of a device, the method comprising:

receiving a signal using a multiband bandpass filter and an inductor that are included within a glass substrate;

based on the signal, generating a set of output signals by the multiband bandpass filter; and

selecting one or more output signals of the set of output signals using a set of switches included within the glass substrate, wherein the inductor at least partially surrounds the set of switches.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal is a radio frequency (RF) signal received at an antenna coupled to the multiband bandpass filter.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of output signals is generated using a multiband pass filtering technique.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multiband bandpass filter includes a triplexer (TPX) circuit.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of signals includes a high-band signal, a middle-band signal, and a low-band signal.

6. An apparatus comprising:

means for bandpass filtering a signal, the means for bandpass filtering integrated within a glass substrate;

means for selecting one or more output signals of a set of output signals generated by the means for bandpass filtering, the means for selecting integrated within the glass substrate; and

means for generating a magnetic field, the means for generating the magnetic field integrated within the glass substrate at least partially surrounding the means for selecting.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the set of output signals includes one or more of a high-band (HB) signal, a middle-band (MB) signal, or a low-band (LB) signal.

8. An apparatus comprising:

a multiband bandpass filter configured to bandpass filter a signal to generate a plurality of output signals, the multiband bandpass filter integrated within a glass substrate;

one or more switches coupled to the multiband bandpass filter and integrated within the glass substrate, the one or more switches configured to select a particular output signal of the plurality of output signals; and

an inductor integrated within the glass substrate and at least partially surrounding the one or more switches.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an antenna coupled to the multiband bandpass filter, the antenna configured to receive the signal via a wireless network from a device.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the multiband bandpass filter includes a triplexer (TPX) circuit coupled to the antenna.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the multiband bandpass filter is further configured to generate a high-band signal of the plurality of output signals, a middle-band signal of the plurality of output signals, and a low-band signal of the plurality of output signals.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more switches are further configured to select one of the high-band signal, the middle-band signal, or the low-band signal as the particular output signal.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the inductor is coupled to the multiband bandpass filter and to the one or more switches.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the inductor has a three-dimensional (3D) wrap-around configuration that at least partially surrounds an integrated circuit that includes the one or more switches.

15. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the inductor includes a first terminal coupled to an output of the multiband bandpass filter and further includes a second terminal coupled to an input of the one or more switches.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inductor has a three-dimensional (3D) wrap-around configuration that at least partially surrounds an integrated circuit that includes the set of switches.

17. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the means for generating the magnetic field has a three-dimensional (3D) wrap-around configuration that at least partially surrounds an integrated circuit that includes the means for selecting.
