At the higher frequencies, like 11 GHz, circulators and filters are small 
enough you can cobble together an outdoor only system.  I cannot over emphasize 
that Tim said about losses.  3.6 dB adds directly to the noise figure and that 
is the holy grail of SNR and receiver sensitivity.

The circulator/filter method is used with virtually every 2+0 or more indoor 
radio setup.  Combiners are used for outdoor models such as those we have been 
discussing here and a typical loss per side is about 3.6 dB or 7.2 dB on the 
path.  This shouldn’t be overlooked when designing high capacity / high 
modulation systems since you will need every bit of system gain you can get (or 
antenna sizes must be greatly increased). 

Whenever looking at competing radios and their published capacities, it is also 
important to closely examine and compare their system gains to see what works 
on your proposed path.  As an example, the Navigator High Capacity 80 MHz Bmw 
radio has a 68.7 dB system gain at 4096 QAM vs. 77 dB system gain on the Aviat 
WTM 4100 similarly configured.

  You can put as many radios as you want on an antenna subject to bandwidth 
limits of the antenna and everyone getting along frequency wise.  This shows 
the circulator/filter method.  There is a hybrid combiner method too but I 
think you lose more signal with that method.

  You'd need two 11Ghz combiners to combine each of the AF11 polarities from 
the radios to the antenna... I'm not sure if you'd need to have high/low-pass 
filters as well, depends how good those radios are at filtering powerful 
out-of-channel noise.

  With the Bridgewave example those would be full 80mhz carriers, so 160Mhz of 
spectrum on each polarity.

    With the Bridgewave, does that mean you are transmitting on two 40mhz
    carriers on each polarity or two 80mhz carriers or each polarity?
