Antenna Duplexer
With diversity reception, a cell would require 3
antennas - transmit (Tx), main receive (Rx A), diversity receive (Rx B)
Tx / Rx Antenna

Duplexer (duplex filter) can reduce this to 2 antennas


by combining Tx with one Rx

Duplexer consists of two band pass filters - one


tuned to the uplink frequency (Rx) and one tuned to the downlink (Tx)

Isolation between Tx and Rx typically 50 - 80 dB Power loss < 1 dB
