An RF (radio frequency) combiner utilizes RF filtering cavities and
transmission paths incorporated into an RF impervious material. This
allows traditional stand-alone multiplexers to be integrated into a
single device without using signal loss-inducing cables and connections
between the multiplexers. The simplicity of the RF combiner allows for RF
filters to be milled out of the same RF impervious material without
requiring an external RF connection and avoids a cascading of multiple RF
filters. In one instance, the RF combiner is employed with two BTS (base
transceiver stations) to allow the sharing of antennas without the power
losses associated with traditional cascading duplexers.
