Abstract

A radio frequency transmitting and receiving apparatus comprising a filter and an antenna, wherein the input reactance of the antenna is substantially equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the output reactance of the filter. This reactance relationship permits the antenna and filter to be collocated and avoids transformation of the input and output impedances to the conventional 50 ohms such that the filter and antenna can be connected with a conventional 50 ohm transmission line.
