Transceiver assembly
View Patent ↗A transceiver assembly including an antenna input/output transition, a transmit module, a receive module, and a diplexer. The diplexer has opposing planar surfaces and the transmit module, receive module and antenna input/output transition are placed on the same planar surface of the diplexer.
1. A transceiver assembly comprising:
a single printed circuit board;
an antenna input/output transition;
a transmit module;
a receive module; and
a diplexer having opposed planar surfaces, wherein the transmit module, receive module, and antenna input/output transition are located on the same planar surface of the diplexer;
wherein the circuit board includes personality parts used to configure the transceiver assembly; and
wherein a first base material is used in the fabrication of the printed circuit board and a second base material is used in the fabrication of the personality parts.
2. A method of constructing a radio system, the method comprising:
attaching electronic components to a printed circuit board surface established by a plane of an antenna input/output transition;
providing relief in the printed circuit board such that the antenna input/output transition extends through the printed circuit board; and
coupling a first port of a diplexer having three ports located on the same planar surface to the antenna input/output transition;
wherein attaching electronic components to the printed circuit board includes attaching personality parts to the circuit board; and
wherein the printed circuit board is fabricated with a first base material and the personality parts are fabricated with a second base material.
