  • Full duplex transmission arrangement
    Patent number: 10985788
    Abstract: The present document discloses a transmission arrangement for coupling an amplifier to a transmission medium. An input node of the amplifier is couplable to a transmitter and an output node of the amplifier is couplable to a terminal of the transmission medium. The transmission arrangement may comprise a first branch coupled between the input node of the amplifier and an intermediate node which is couplable to a receiver. The transmission arrangement may further comprise a second branch coupled between the output node of the amplifier and the intermediate node. In particular, the first branch comprises a first capacitive element, while the second branch comprises a second capacitive element. Furthermore, at least one of the first and second branches further comprises a phase matching circuit coupled in series with the respective capacitive element.
