1. A radio-frequency architecture comprising:
a first group of one or more filters each configured to support a respective band, and a second group of one or more filters each configured to support a respective band, each filter of the first group configured to provide an impedance at or near a short circuit impedance for a signal in each band of the second group, each filter of the second group configured to provide an impedance at or near a short circuit impedance for a signal in each band of the first group; and
a coupling circuit including a common node and configured to couple the common node to the one or more filters of the first group and the one or more filters of the second group through a first path and a second path, respectively, the coupling circuit further configured such that the impedance provided by each filter of the first group for the signal in each band of the second group results in the signal being sufficiently excluded from the first path, and such that the impedance provided by each filter of the second group for the signal in each band of the first group results in the signal being sufficiently excluded from the second path.
