The present invention provides a reconfigurable diplexer which is well suited for use with mulitple element antenna arrays. The diplexer includes a common, slot-line transmission line adapted to carry electromagnetic signals; a pair a separate slot-line transmission lines coupled to the common transmission line; each separate slot-line transmission line having an individual filter coupled thereto, wherein each filter is adapted to selectively give its respective separate slot-line transmission line a characteristic impedance dependent upon predetermined frequencies of the electromagnetic signals; and a separate slot-line balun associated with each separate slot-line transmission line and adapted for coupling signals to and/or from its respective separate slot-line transmission line. The diplexer may be configured to operate in several different bands such as the INTELSAT frequencies (7.2-8.4 GHz) or DSCS frequencies (11.7-14.5 GHz). |
