duplexer

Two-way signal router

A duplexer is a device that allows a single antenna to be used for both transmitting and receiving signals, switching between the two functions or separating them by frequency.

Essential in radar systems and two-way radios, it prevents the powerful transmitted signal from overwhelming the sensitive receiver: The radar's duplexer protects the receiver during transmission.
