ABSTRACT:
A method for securing the operation of a receiver in a two-way radio apparatus by enhancing the isolation between the transmitter and receiver, and a radio apparatus employing said method. The transmitter and receiver in a radio apparatus have separate antennas (320, 330). The transmitter has at least two mutually alternative filters which have different attenuations in the receive band. Transmitting antenna matching is monitored by measuring the strength of the field (re) reflected from the antenna (320) towards the power amplifier (PA). When the strength of the reflected field in proportion to the strength of the propagating field is above a certain threshold, the filter (312) which has a greater stop-band attenuation in the receive band will be used as the transmitting filter. Otherwise, the filter (311) which has a smaller stop-band attenuation and, hence, smaller pass-band attenuation will be used as the transmitting filter. The filters and their selection switches (SW31, SW32) can be integrated into a single component. The receiver noise level can be kept relatively low also when the matching of the transmitting antenna changes for external reasons, without substantially increasing power loss between the RF power amplifier and the antenna.
