LC Diplexers
Comprised of inductors and capacitors, LC (lumped element) diplexers are compact and versatile passive components that separate or combine two frequency bands within RF systems. Their frequency-selective design enables efficient signal routing with minimal interference, making them ideal for applications where size, cost, and performance must be balanced.

FAQ about LC Diplexers
What is an LC diplexer and how does it work?
An LC diplexer is a passive component that uses inductors (L) and capacitors (C) to separate or combine two different frequency bands. It enables simultaneous transmission and reception or dual-band operation through a single RF path with minimal interference.
What are the benefits of using LC diplexers?
LC diplexers are compact, lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to integrate into various systems. They offer good electrical performance, making them ideal for low to mid-power applications where space and budget are considerations.
What frequency range do LC diplexers typically support?
LC diplexers can be designed to cover a broad frequency range—from as low as 100 kHz up to 10 GHz—depending on the specific design and component values.
In what applications are LC diplexers commonly used?
They are widely used in telecommunications, consumer electronics, wireless systems, test equipment, and other RF applications requiring efficient frequency separation in a small form factor.
What are the limitations of LC diplexers?
While LC diplexers are versatile, they typically have lower power handling and selectivity compared to cavity diplexers. They may also be more sensitive to temperature variations and component tolerances.
