ELECTRONIC DUPLEXER
First Claim
1. An electronic duplexer for sharing at least one antenna between at least one transmitter in a transmit path and at least one receiver in a receive path, the electronic duplexer comprising:
- a) an electronic duplexer input for receiving at least one input transmit signal from the transmit path;
b) an electronic duplexer output for providing at least one desired output signal to the receive path;
c) an antenna interface having a transmit portion for transmitting an at least one desired transmit signal over the at least one antenna and a receive portion for receiving an at least one receive signal over the at least one antenna;
d) a transmit antenna emissions correction circuit having an input coupled to said antenna interface, said transmit antenna emissions correction circuit correcting broadband noise emissions from the transmit path in the at least one input transmit signal thereby providing an at least one corrected transmit signal;
e) a transmit interference correction circuit having an input coupled to said transmit portion of the antenna interface and an output coupled to the receive portion of said antenna interface, said transmit interference correction circuit correcting interference of the at least one transmit signal in the receive path thereby providing a first at least one corrected receive signal; and
f) an arbitrary interferer correction circuit having an input coupled to the receive portion of said antenna interface and an output coupled to said electronic duplexer output, said arbitrary interferer correction circuit correcting interference of signals other than the broadband noise emissions from the transmit path and the interference of the at least one transmit signal in the receive path thereby providing the at least one output receive signal.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an electronic duplexer for at least one transmit path and at least one receive path in a radio system where the transmit and receive paths share the use of at least one antenna. A first feedforward correction loop is used to correct broadband noise emissions (that do not include linearity related close-in emissions) from the power amplifier in a radio system. A second feedforward correction loop is used to reduce the interference of the transmit signal in the receive path. A third feedforward correction loop is used to identify interference signals other than the transmit signal and correct those additional interferers.
