Abstract
A method is presented for improved rejection of transmitter noise in the duplexer (transmit–receive switch). The capacitance of a set of crossed diodes forms a resonant circuit with a length of coaxial cable. The rejection of our resonant design is 60 dB, compared with only 12–15 dB for the usual method, all measured at 175 MHz. Tuning the entire duplexer to different frequencies is convenient, requiring only two new lengths of cable. The scheme is most useful with ungated linear rf power amplifiers at very high frequencies (above 100 MHz), where transmitter noise can be a severe problem.
