A transceiver system is described herein that has an antenna coupled to a
filter unit which is coupled to multiple radio base stations (RBSs). Each
RBS uses one TX/RX cable and if needed a RX cable to connect to the
filter unit. To enable the RBSs so they can share one antenna, each RBS
has a duplex filter incorporated therein. And, the filter unit has a
unique combination of diplex filter(s), duplex filter(s), part-band
duplex filter(s), diplex-duplex filter(s), splitter(s) and/or low noise
amplifier(s). Four exemplary embodiments of the transceiver system are
described herein to show how the filter unit can be configured so as to
enable the RBSs to share one antenna even if the RBSs share the same
frequency band and/or even if the RBSs operate with different radio
standards (e.g., TDMA, CDMA, WCDMA and GSM). Also described herein in
accordance with the present invention are: (1) a method for constructing
the transceiver system; (2) a radio base station; and (3) an antenna.
