Duplexers

Application
Duplexers are used to simultaneously transmit and
receive from a single antenna. They are three-port
devices comprising a combination of transmit and
receive filters with a common antenna port.
Duplexers are designed for various application based
on operational frequency and utility. As an example,
mobile duplexers are designed to handle low power
and are very compact in size. Base station duplexers
are designed to handle higher base radio power and
generally designed to be mountable in standard

CONDITIONING
equipment racks.
All RFS duplexers are designed to provide high 5597 Series

RF
isolation between the transmit and receive ports.

Features & Benefits 3

• Low insertion loss ensures that transmitter power
is not reduced for transmission.
• High isolation avoids receiver desensitization
• Mobile duplexers are compact and easy to
integrate and use with mobile repeaters.
• High Q design ensures low intermodulation
