Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to programmable duplexers. The frequency pass band of the programmable duplexer is changed according to a selection of a channel-pair selection to control or maximize the transition band between the receiver path and the transmitter path. The programmable duplexer permits selections of desired pass bands without the need for multiple duplexer filters. As an additional advantage, the transmission band requirements become less sensitive to manufacturing tolerances and temperature variations.
