Claims30
A transceiver assembly comprising:
- an antenna input/output transition;
- a transmit module;
- a receive module;
- and
- a diplexer having opposed planar surfaces, wherein the transmit module, receive module, and antenna input/output transition are located on the same planar surface of the diplexer.
A diplexer comprising a wave-guide section with four sides and two end sections, and three ports communication ports, including a first port located toward the center of the wave-guide section, and a second port and a third port each located toward opposite ends of the wave-guide section, with all three ports on a same one of the four sides of the wave-guide section so that a radio frequency signal that travels through the diplexer is redirected 180 degrees from the direction in which it entered the diplexer.
A diplexer comprising:
- a wave-guide section having four sides and two ends, and three communication ports, including a first port located toward the center of the wave-guide section, and a second port and a third port each located toward opposite ends of the wave-guide section, such that all three ports are located on a same one of the four sides of the wave-guide section;
- and
- a first and a second backstop, each of which is located at a first and a second end, respectively, of the wave-guide section.
A diplexer comprising:
- a first, a second, and a third port all located on a same planar surface of the diplexer;
- a combiner having first, second, and third combiner ports;
- a transmit filter configured to receive signals from a transmit module, coupled to the first port of the diplexer, at a first frequency and to pass the transmit signals to the first combiner port and to reject signals at other frequencies;
- and
- a receive filter configured to receive signals from the second combiner port and to pass signals at a second frequency to a receive module coupled to the second port of the diplexer, and reject signals at other frequencies;
- wherein the third combiner port is coupled to the third port of the diplexer and is configured to pass signals to, and accept signals from, an antenna.
A diplexer comprising:
- a first, a second, and a third port all located on the same planar surface of the diplexer;
- a transmit filter configured to receive signals from a transmit module, coupled to the first port of the diplexer, at a first frequency and to pass the transmit signals to a first port of a combiner and to reject signals at other frequencies;
- a receive filter configured to receive signals from a second port of the combiner and to pass signals at a second frequency to a receive module coupled to the second port of the diplexer, and reject signals at other frequencies;
- a third port on the combiner, coupled to the third port of the diplexer, configured to pass signals to, and accept signals from, an antenna;
- and
- an oscillator configured to produce a reference signal used by both the transmit filter and the receive filter.
A transceiver assembly comprising:
- a single printed circuit board;
- an antenna input/output transition;
- a transmit module;
- a receive module;
- and
- a diplexer having opposed planar surfaces, wherein the transmit module, receive module, and antenna input/output transition are located on the same planar surface of the diplexer.
A method of constructing a radio system, the method comprising:
- attaching electronic components to a printed circuit board surface established by a plane of an antenna input/output transition;
- providing relief in the printed circuit board such that the antenna input/output transition extends through the printed circuit board;
- and
- coupling a first port of a diplexer having three ports located on the same planar surface to the antenna input/output transition.
