Duplexer with signal cancellation
First Claim
1. A duplexer having first, second and third ports and adapted for connection between an antenna and uplink and downlink, respectively, in a full duplex communication system, said duplexer comprising:
- first and second quarter wave transformers connected between said first and third ports and between said first and second ports, respectively;
a balancing resistor connected between said third port and the output of said second transformer; and
a filter circuit connected between said output of said second transformer and said second port.

Abstract
There is provided a duplexer having first, second and third ports and adapted for connection between an antenna and uplink and downlink, respectively, in a full duplex communication system. The duplexer has first and second quarter wave transformers connected between the first and third and between the first and second ports, respectively. The duplexer has a balancing resistor connected between the third port and the output of the second transformer. The duplexer has a filter circuit connected between the output of the second transformer and the second port.

- 8. A full duplex wireless communication system in which transmit and receive signals are transmitted between a base station and a plurality of subscriber equipment at first and second frequencies, each of said base station and subscriber equipment comprising a cancellation/separation duplexer having a transmit port and a receive port and being operative to shift a phase of any transmit signal at one of said transmit ports 180 degrees at the corresponding receive port, and the cancellation/separation duplexers having first and second quarter wave transformers operative to shift the phase of any transmit signal 180 degrees.

11. A full duplex, two-way communication system comprising:
-
a duplexer operative to provide signal cancellation and separation, said duplexer comprising a cancellation portion and a separation portion, said cancellation portion comprising first and second quarter wave transformers located between said transmit port and said receive port and operative to shift the phase of transmit signals 180 degrees in a manner to effectively cancel said transmit signals at said receive port such that all but a selected signal from multiple signals applied thereto is cancelled, and said separation portion being operative to filter out the selected signal from non selected signals; wherein said duplexer is connected between an antenna and a transmit port and a receive port, said duplexer being operative to prevent transmit signals at said transmit port from appearing at said receive port. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
