A system and method effectively combines communications of the base
stations of multiple wireless systems on the same antenna structure. In
one implementation, a wireless system combiner serves as an interface
between base stations of first and second wireless systems ("first base
station" and "second base station") and a shared antenna to substantially
eliminate spurious noise from the first base station at frequencies
allocated to the second base station and prevent transmit power from the
first base station from feeding into the reception circuitry of the second
base station in a shared antenna configuration. The combiner includes a
first combiner filter between a duplexer of the first base station and a
common connection point and a second combiner filter between a duplexer of
the second base station and the common connection point. The first
combiner filter filters out spurious noise generated by first base station
transmitter at frequencies outside the frequency band allocated to the
first base station, for example using a high Q value band-pass or
band-reject filter. The second combiner filters out signal power at
frequencies outside the second base station receive band to prevent
transmit signal power of the first base station from feeding into the
second base station's receiver circuitry, thereby preventing
intermodulation.
