1. A filter bank module comprising:
a substrate;
an antenna port terminal; and
a first filter bank die fixed to the substrate, the filter bank die comprising:
a first acoustic wave (AW) filter having a first antenna terminal coupled to the antenna port terminal and a first filter terminal, wherein the first AW filter is configured to pass a first passband and attenuate frequencies outside the first passband; and
a second AW filter having a second filter terminal, and a second antenna terminal coupled to the first antenna terminal to effectively diplex signals that pass through the first AW filter and the second AW filter, wherein the second AW filter is configured to pass a second passband that is spaced from the first passband to minimize interference between first bandpass and the second bandpass while attenuating frequencies outside the second passband.
