Abstract

Electrical balance duplexers can provide high transmit-to-receive isolation whilst facilitating transmission and reception from a single antenna, can be implemented on-chip, and are widely tunable, making this an attractive technology for implementing full duplex architectures in small form factor devices. This paper presents measurements from a novel hardware prototype full-duplex transceiver architecture combining electrical balance and active analog cancellation. The prototype duplexer achieves >80dB transmit-to-receive isolation over a 20MHz bandwidth at both 890 MHz and 1890 MHz, exceeding the performance of antenna separation architectures where the antenna isolation is limited to the levels achievable in hand held devices.
