Definition of diplexer in English English dictionary
- A passive device that implements frequency domain multiplexing
- (Elektrik, Elektronik) A diplexer is a device that combines radio frequency inputs from two or more radio transmitters into a single output, or, when used in the opposite direction, divides a single RF input into two or more outputs based on frequency using bandpass filters. Depending on how it is used, a diplexer may be called a combiner or splitter. The device is referred to as a duplexer in land mobile radio, where a receiver and transmitter are sometimes combined onto the same antenna. Though the basic goal is the same in all diplexers, there are massive variations in scale depending upon the application
- A device that permits parallel feeding of one antenna from two transmitters at the same or different frequencies without the transmitters interfering with each other
- A combining device that permits two or more transmitters or a transmitter and a receiver to use the same antenna
- A device that splits a collection of signals into two groups according to the frequency range in which they are located, or combines two groups of signals, each occupying a separate frequency range, into a single collection of signals
- A three-port frequency-dependent device that may be used as a separator or a combiner of signals (188) Note: Duplex transmission through a diplexer is not possible
- A device which combines two transmitters onto one transmission line
