Antenna Duplexing

Abstract

The term "duplexing", as used in this report, refers to the use of a single antenna for transmission and reception on a radio system, the requisite switching operations being performed automatically by other than mechanical means. The duplexing system must perform two functions: it must disconnect the receiver rom the antenna during transmission to prevent over-loading of the receiver as well as voltage breakdown of the tube insulation structures in particular, and to prevent loss of transmitted power into the receiver, and it must remove the transmitter from the antenna during reception to prevent loss of received signal energy into the transmitter circuits.
