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.

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.

This shows the circulator/filter method. There is a hybrid combiner method too but I think you lose more signal with that method. <image[1].png> From: Colin Stanners Sent: Friday, February 8, 2019 2:02 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Exalt Wireless Support 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.
