A duplexer for a communication device having a transmission unit, a reception unit and a shared antenna. The shared antenna transmits a portion of a transmission signal provided by the transmission unit and receiving a reception signal. The duplexer generates a leakage signal from the transmission unit toward the reception unit. The leakage signal being added to the reception signal. The duplexer comprises a first signal path between the transmission unit and the reception unit. The first signal path comprises a filter unit filtering the reception signal. The filtering unit provides a filtered signal to the reception unit. The duplexer further comprises a second signal path between the transmission unit and the reception unit. The second signal path comprises a cancellation unit which receives a sample of the transmission signal and produces a compensation signal. The injection of the compensation signal to the first signal path substantially reduces the leakage signal, thereby producing a substantially leakage-free reception signal.
