Abstract
In a first embodiment, the invention relates to an arrangement for operating a plurality of terminal devices (6) on a common antenna (4) with a coupling network (2) comprising a first separator (8) associated with the antenna (4) and a second separator (10) associated with the respective terminal (6). In a second embodiment, the invention relates to an arrangement for operating a plurality of terminal devices (6) on a common transmitting antenna (4″) and on a common receiving antenna (4) which is separate from the common transmitting antenna (4″) with a coupling network (2) comprising a separator (10) which is associated with the respective terminal.
Claims31
Arrangement for operation of a plurality of terminal devices (6) on a common remote antenna (4) comprising a coupling network (2), which includes a first separator (8) associated with the antenna (4) and a second separator (10) associated with the respective terminal device (6), wherein the first separator (8) and the second separator (10) form one unit both functionally as well as spatially, and functionally are not connected with either the antenna (4) nor with one of the terminal devices (6), wherein at least one of the separators is so designed, that one single bidirectional communication path from the terminal device to the coupling network can be connected thereto, and wherein this separator separates this, bi-directional communication path into separately directed transmit and receive paths which are routed separately in the coupling network.
Arrangement for operation of a plurality of terminal devices (6) on a common remote antenna (4), wherein multiple transmit signals (S) and/or multiple receive signals (E) are bundled or, as the case may be, separated from the terminal devices or, as the case may be, the terminal device (6), by means of a common coupling network (2), wherein the coupling network (2) is provided in the vicinity of or in the terminal devices (6) themselves, wherein at least one terminal device is in communication with the coupling network via a bi-directional communication pat.
Arrangement for operation of a plurality of terminal devices (6) on a common remote transmission antenna (4″), wherein the arrangement includes at least one separate common remote receive antenna (4′) which is supplemental to the common remote transmit antenna (4″), wherein the respective terminal devices (6) are coupled with each other via a coupling network (2), comprised of the separators (10) associated with the respective terminal devices (6), wherein at least one of the separators (10) is so designed, that a single, bi-directional communication path can be connected thereto leading from the terminal device to the coupling network, and wherein the separator separates this bi-directional communication path into separately directed transmit and receive paths in the coupling network.
