Diplexer: A device that combines two input signals into a single output. It may also be used the other way to split a single input into two outputs. Often used in satellite systems to combine a satellite signal with an antenna or cable signal, for reception of local channels. A second diplexer is then needed to split the signals at the receiver location.
