1. Diplexer v.s. Duplexer
Diplexer
Separates two different freq. bands in Rx path and combines them in Tx path.
These freq. bands will be wide apart in freq. domain. Ex: separate EGSM, DCS or GSM, WCDMA.
Tx-Rx isolation ~ 50-60 dB.
One HPF and one LPF HPF負責High-Band TRx, LPF負責Low-Band TRx.
Smart phone always use the LC Diplexer.
Use single antenna by both Tx and Rx at the same time.
Both Tx and Rx paths have freq. bands very nearer, hence narrow BPF are used. Ex: DCS uplink and downlink.
Two types of duplexer, one by using PIN diode switches and the other using circulators.
Tx-Rx isolation very important ~ 90-95 dB.
兩個頻段不同的BPF 一個負責Tx, 一個負責Rx.
Smart phone always use the SAW Duplexer.
