Abstract

A composite duplexer includes an antenna terminal, a first receiving terminal, a second receiving terminal, a transmitting terminal, a first switch, a duplexer, and a second switch. The first switch includes a first branch contact, a second branch contact connected with the transmitting terminal, a third branch contact connected with the second receiving terminal, and a first common contact connected with the first antenna terminal. The first common contact of the first switch is connected selectively with the first branch contact, the second branch contact, and the third branch contact. The first duplexer includes a first receiving filter connected with the first receiving terminal, and a first transmitting filter. The duplexer is connected with the first branch contact of the first switch. The second switch is operable to connect and disconnect electrically between the first transmitting filter of the first duplexer and the transmitting terminal. This composite duplexer can separate signals even if their frequency bands are close to each other.

Claims (24)

1. A composite duplexer comprising:

a first antenna terminal arranged to be connected with a first antenna;

a first receiving terminal arranged to be connected with a first receiving circuit;

a second receiving terminal arranged to be connected with a second receiving circuit;

a transmitting terminal arranged to be connected with a transmitting circuit;

a first switch including,

a first branch contact,

a second branch contact connected with the transmitting terminal,

a third branch contact connected with the second receiving terminal, and

a first common contact connected with the first antenna terminal, the first common contact being connected selectively with the first branch contact, the second branch contact, and the third branch contact;

a first duplexer connected with the first branch contact of the first switch, the first duplexer including

a first receiving filter connected with the first receiving terminal, and

a first transmitting filter; and

a second switch operable to connect and disconnect electrically between the first transmitting filter of the first duplexer and the transmitting terminal.

2. The composite duplexer of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second antenna terminal arranged to be connected with a second antenna;

a third receiving terminal arranged to be connected with a third receiving circuit;

a second duplexer connected with the second antenna terminal, the second duplexer including

a second receiving filter connected with the third receiving terminal, and

a second transmitting filter,

wherein the second switch includes

a fourth branch contact connected with the first transmitting filter,

a fifth branch contact connected with the second transmitting filter of the second duplexer, and

second common contact connected with the transmitting terminal, the first common contact being connected selectively with the fourth branch contact and the fifth branch contact.
