Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to isolating a receiver circuit of an electronic device from a transmission signal and leakage of the transmission signal. To do so, an isolation circuit is disposed between the receiver circuit and a transmission circuit. The isolation circuit may include multiple variable impedance devices and one or more antennas. The impedances of the variable impedance devices may be balanced such that a signal at a particular frequency or within a particular frequency band can pass through or is blocked by the isolation circuit. The isolation circuit may include one or more double balanced duplexers to achieve the improved isolation. The isolation circuit may also increase bandwidth available for wireless communications of the electronic device.
