Abstract

An enhanced duplexer () which includes a combination of high dynamic range (HDR) amplifiers () and a naovel signal cancellation circuit topology (). Return signals from the circulator () are fed into the first HDR amplifier (). A portion of the transmit signal is sampled with a directional coupler () and amplified with a second HDR amplifier () and then combined with the output of the first HDR amplifier () using a second directional coupler (). The gain and phase of the second io amplifier () are adjusted so the leakage signals are canceled () to enable a radar system to simultaneously transmit and receive signals to and from an antenna with increased sensitivity of operation.
