The need of duplexer in low power operation

Hi,

Yes, bandpass filters. (SAW or Ceramic, possibly both)

nanoBTS has both side. You can clearly see them here :

sysmoBTS I know has RX filters, I don't remember about TX.

Mine actually shipped without antennas :p

I use it with rubber duck in lab tests but I don't know if it's a
recommended configuration.
