Quadplexer vs Quadruplexer | Difference between Quadplexer and Quadruplexer
This page compares Quadplexer vs Quadruplexer and mentions difference between Quadplexer and Quadruplexer RF devices. It also mentions links to diplexer or duplexer and triplexer.
Let us understand functions of these devices and their construction.
Diplexer and Duplexer
Diplexer or Duplexer: They have two ports other than the output port. It functions as 2 port to 1 port multiplexer and
de-multiplexer vice versa.
Diplexer is used to mux/demux wide band signals such as two different wireless technologies.
Duplexer is used to mux/demux narrow band signals such as transmit and receive bands in GSM 900 viz.
890-915 MHz and 935-960 MHz respectively.
Triplexer
Triplexer: They have three ports other than the output port. It functions as 3 port to 1 port multiplexer and
de-multiplexer vice versa.
Refer RF triplexer >> for more information.
Quadplexer or Quadruplexer
Quadplexer or Quadruplexer: They have four ports other than the output port.
It functions as 4 port to 1 port multiplexer and de-multiplexer vice versa.
Both the names are interchangeably used as they are two different names of same
RF device. It operates simultaneously in four frequency bands viz. 700/800/900, 1800, 2100 and 2300/2600 MHz.
It is used to mux/demux four radio frequencies to/from single coaxial cable.
This helps in reducing cost and weight of the end device.
Moreover quadruplexer helps in minimizing the size of the end device where it is being used.
