Multiplexers
Using the same concepts as diplexers, multiplexer components connect RF signals at the input and output ports.
There are various multiplexer types such as duplexer, triplexer, quadplexer and quintplexer based on the total number and type of RF inputs. The one commonality of all types is that they have one single output port where all the input ports can coexist without interference.
