  • Patent number: 9998171
    Abstract: A transceiver for In-Band Full-Duplex communication is provided. The transceiver includes a duplexer and a bidirectional frequency transposition module, the frequency transposition module being suitable for transposing a signal to be transmitted, with a predetermined frequency shift, ?F, in order to obtain a transmit signal, and for transposing the receive signal, with the same frequency shift, in order to obtain the received signal, with the frequency band of the signal to be transmitted and the frequency band of the received signal thus being separated by a frequency shift which is double the predetermined frequency shift.
