Abstract
A system for coupling a communication unit to an antenna. The system includes a tunable bandpass filter and a second tunable filter, such as a tunable low-pass filter, in parallel with the tunable bandpass filter. The system also includes a measurement and control unit configured to measure a frequency of a signal generated by the communication unit and to tune the tunable bandpass filter to pass the signal generated by the control unit.
Claims20
A system for coupling a communication unit to an antenna, the system comprising:
- a tunable bandpass filter;
- a second tunable filter in parallel with the tunable bandpass filter;
- and
- a measurement and control unit configured to measure a frequency of a signal generated by the communication unit and to tune the tunable bandpass filter to pass the signal generated by the communication unit.
A method of coupling a communication unit to an antenna, the method comprising:
- to in a transmit mode:
- measuring a frequency of a signal generated by the communication unit;
- and
- tuning a tunable bandpass filter to pass the signal;
- and
- in a receive mode:
- tuning a second tunable filter in parallel with the tunable bandpass filter to pass a received signal.
A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when executed by a processor, perform a method of coupling a communication unit to an antenna, the method comprising:
- in a transmit mode:
- measuring a frequency of a signal generated by the communication unit for transmission;
- and
- tuning a tunable bandpass filter to pass the signal;
- and
- in a receive mode:
- tuning a second tunable filter in parallel with the tunable bandpass filter to pass a received signal.
