Abstract

Embodiments provide WiFi and WiMAX tailored transceiver radio frequency (RF) filtering techniques and configurations to enable coexistence between WiFi and WiMAX transceivers operating in close proximity. In particular, embodiments provide filtering techniques to reject emissions from WiMAX into WiFi, and vice versa. The filtering techniques eliminate the need for additional isolation between WiMAX and WiFi antennas (approximately 50 dB), which is beyond what is achievable in practice. Embodiments can be tailored according to different use cases of the WiFi and WiMAX transceivers (e.g., fixed CPE, portable router, smart phone with tethering).
