11. A method of processing a radio frequency signal, the method comprising:
generating a filtered transmit radio frequency signal with transmit filter having a first stage serially connected with at least a second stage, the first stage including a first plurality of acoustic wave resonators of a first type, the second stage including a second plurality of acoustic wave resonators of a second type that is different than the first type, the second plurality of acoustic wave resonators having a higher suppression of a second harmonic of a radio frequency signal than the first plurality of acoustic wave resonators;
outputting the filtered transmit radio signal to a common node; and
filtering a receive radio frequency signal with a receive filter coupled to the common node to output a single-ended radio frequency signal.
