  • Patent number: 6154181
    Abstract: A device includes a waveguide for the transmission/reception of microwave signals. The waveguide is coupled to a microstrip reception circuit as well as to a microstrip transmission circuit. The waveguide includes a filter arrangement which attenuates the microwave signals transmitted from the transmission circuit in order to prevent undesirable interference to the reception circuit.
