Antenna vswr rf duplexer

Abstract

RF circuitry, which includes an antenna VSWR RF duplexer and duplexer control circuitry, is disclosed. The antenna VSWR RF duplexer includes a first hybrid RF coupler having a first main port coupled to an RF antenna, a first isolation port, and a first pair of quadrature ports; a second hybrid RF coupler having a second main port, a second isolation port, and a second pair of quadrature ports; a third hybrid RF coupler having a third main port, a third isolation port, and a third pair of quadrature ports; and RF filter circuitry coupled to the first pair of quadrature ports, the second pair of quadrature ports, and the third pair of quadrature ports, such that the antenna VSWR RF duplexer provides an antenna VSWR signal. The duplexer control circuitry receives and processes the antenna VSWR signal, which is representative of VSWR mismatch conditions at the first main port.
