20160142077 | DUAL-BAND FILTER AND OPERATING METHOD THEROF - A dual-band filter and method thereof include a diplexer configured to process one of a first band signal and a second band signal, which includes a frequency band different from a frequency band of the first band signal, and block the other of the first band signal and the second band signal. A balun is configured to convert the first band signal from a differential signal to a single signal in response to the first band signal being transmitted, and convert the first band signal from a single signal to a differential signal in response to the first band signal being received. A direct current (DC) voltage supply port configured to supply a DC voltage to the balun when the first band signal is received. | 05-19-2016 |
