Abstract
Abstract A duplex-transmitter-receiver arrangement wherein only a single oscillator is utilized for the transmitter and receiver for a digitally modulated radio communication system wherein each location has a transmitter and receiver and a single oscillator is used for both the transmitter and receiver with a circulator switch connected respectively to the antenna, the receiver and the transmitter with the oscillator in the transmitter coupling through to the branch for the receiver so as to serve as a mixing frequency for the receiver.
