ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus herein identifies tunable duplexer in a communication system. The tunable duplexer includes a tunable receiver filter, a tunable transmitter filter, a variable receiver phase shifter, and variable transmitter phase shifter. Each filter and phase shifter is optimized based on characteristics of impedance within the duplexer. The duplexer may be adjusted to changing environments or desired changes in the frequency of operation, reducing circuitry architecture and providing greater flexibility in communication function. The method commences by tuning tunable filters within the duplexer and then optimizing phase shifters within the duplexer for adjusting impedance matching with antenna and isolating the receiver from the transmitter during duplexing operations. Optimizations and calibration may be performed during manufacture, upon initialization of the system, or during operation of the communication device. The modes of calibration and operation may be generalized as “predefined” (for known environments and frequencies) or “adapt,” where antenna impedance or frequency of operation changes.
