Method and apparatus for integrated waveguide transmit-receive isolation and filtering

摘要

A radio is provided for transmit-receive isolation and filtering (INTRIFWA) that are sealed and/or integrally built-in a housing of a transmitter, which can be used in microwave communication systems, including satellite based communications systems and terrestrial based microwave communication systems.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a transmitter; a transmitter housing; a low noise block converter; a transmit-receive isolation assembly; and one or more common ports, one or more transmit ports, and one or more receive ports; wherein at least a part of the low noise block converter and at least a part of the transmit-receive isolation assembly are sealed within the transmitter housing, and the at least a part of the transmit-receive isolation assembly is integrally built into the transmitter housing; wherein the transmit-receive isolation assembly includes an ortho-mode transducer and a diplexer, and at least a part of the ortho-mode transducer and at least a part of the diplexer are integrally built into the transmitter housing; and wherein at least a part of one or more of the common ports, the transmit ports and the receive ports are integrally built into the transmitter housing, and the at least a part of the one or more of the common ports, the transmit ports and the receive ports are integrally built into a plate within the transmitter housing.
