Antenna sharing device
View Patent ↗An antenna duplexer includes a piezoelectric substrate having a surface, a grounding terminal to be grounded, first and second surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters mounted on the piezoelectric substrate, first and second terminals connected to the first and second SAW filters, respectively, and a line mounted on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate between the first SAW filter and the second SAW filter. A stray coupling path is produced between the first and second terminals. A first end of the line is connected to the grounding terminal. A second end of the line opens and is coupled capacitively to the stray coupling path. The antenna duplexer has a large isolation characteristic between the surface acoustic wave filters.
1. An antenna duplexer comprising:
a piezoelectric substrate having a surface thereof;
a grounding terminal to be grounded;
a first surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter mounted on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate;
a second SAW filter mounted on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate;
a first terminal connected to the first SAW filter;
a second terminal connected to the second SAW filter, the second terminal producing a stray coupling path between the first terminal and the second terminal; and
a line mounted on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate between the first SAW filter and the second SAW filter, the line having a first end and a second end, the first end of the line being connected to the grounding terminal, the second end of the line being open and being coupled capacitively to the stray coupling path,
wherein only the first end of the line is connected to the grounding terminal,
wherein the first SAW filter, the second SAW filter, and the line are separated from each other on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate, and
wherein the line is not branched.
2. The antenna duplexer according to claim 1 , further comprising a package accommodating the piezoelectric substrate.
