A diplexer is a passive (RF) filter component with three ports, which enables the sharing of a common antenna between two distinct frequency bands. This technology allows transmitters operating on different frequencies to use the same antenna and each band may both transmit and/or receive.
What is the function of a diplexer?
A diplexer allows two different devices to share a common communications channel. Typically, the channel is a long coaxial cable, and a diplexer is often used at both ends of the coaxial cable. The plan is feasible if the two devices operate on different frequencies.
How do Triplexers work?
A triplexer is a 4-port filtering device that splits one input in to three different outputs each with a different frequency. It can also be used the other way round and where it routes signals at three different frequencies to a single port.
