Mark, If I may throw my two cents into this. I would not run the power into the cavities more than they are rated for. You could be really looking for problems down the road as Eric said. Look at it this way. You can buy many different tires for say a Corvette. Some of the may be only

Here's a thought -- if you put a isolator between the PA and the duplexer, and a isolator between the duplexer and the antenna, wouldn't your duplexer see a near perfect 50 ohms at all times? The isolator in the output of the duplexer would have to replace the output TEE - else you

Wouldn't it be fair to say that a notch duplexer rejects only the 'opposite' frequency in the system while a BandReject duplexer rejects ANYTHING other than the pass frequency? (within the limits of the notches) So, a BandReject duplexer will help eliminating mixing products, while a Notch

Mark, Bandpass/Bandreject, also known by the short name "BpBr" is the same as a Bandpass/Notch duplexer. The names are somewhat misleading, because the bandpass effect is relatively modest, although the notch is quite sharp. It is a good idea to have a pure bandpass cavity or two between

Can someone please explain what the difference is between a BandPass/BandReject duplexer and a BandPass/Notch duplexer? In our little two-way radio world, the answer is that there is no difference. Technically speaking, a notch is very narrow, targeting only a specific frequency. A
