Transceiver arrangement and communication device

Abstract

A transceiver arrangement is disclosed. The transceiver arrangement comprises a receiver arranged for frequency-division duplex communication with a communication network and a transmitter arranged for frequency-division duplex communication with the communication network. The transceiver arrangement also comprises a transmission port anda phase shifter arrangement which comprises a first 180° phase shifter and a second 180° phase shifter. The transceiver arrangement further comprises a filtering arrangement. The filtering arrangement comprises filters of a first type and filters of a second type. The filtering arrangement and the phase shifter arrangement are arranged to connect the receiver, transmitter and transmission port forming a first signal path between the transmission port and the transmitter by a first one of the filters of the first type and the first phase shifter in series, a second signal path between the transmission port and the transmitter by a second one of the filters of the first type and a first one of the filters of the second type in series, a third signal path between the transmission port and the receiver by a second one of the filters of the second type and the second phase shifter in series, and a fourth signal path between the transmission port and the receiver by a third one of the filters of the second type and a third one of the filters of the first type in series. The filters of the first type are arranged to pass signals at transmitter frequency and attenuate signals at receiver frequency, and the filters of the second type are arranged to attenuate signals at transmitter frequency and pass signals at receiver frequency. A communication device capable of frequency division duplex communication comprising such a transceiver arrangement is also disclosed.
